Ms. Mair Trump Campaign Analysis

Have you ever felt so lost and thought there was no hope? Hillary Scott shows us there is

He talks about how America is easily manipulated by images. They cannot differentiate between lies in the truth. Many people in America are illiterate or barely literate. They could read somewhere around a 6th grade level. This affects them when they have to vote since they do not make decisions off facts. Moreover, politicians are very aware of that. Their campaigns are made so they could get emotions out of the audience rather than go based off facts. “We prefer happy illusions. And it works because so much of the American electorate, including those who should know better, blindly cast ballots for slogans, smiles, the cheerful family tableaux, narratives and the perceived sincerity and the attractiveness of candidates. We confuse how we feel with knowledge” (Hedges). Politicians use the slogan such as “yes we can” and they would tell stories so we can sympathize in voting for them. They make fake that they will take care of all of your problems as healthcare, schooling, taxes and a nation united. Yet, when the candidate wins, they forget about promise that they made in the campaigns. Matt Taibbi’s article “How America Made Donald Trump Unstoppable” stated, “Like the actual circus, this is a roving business. Cash flows to campaigns from people and donors; campaigns buy ads; ads pay for journalists; journalists assess candidates…Nine out of 10 times in America, the candidate who raises the most money wins. And those candidates then owe the most favors” (Taibbi). This quote shows it does not matter if people vote or not, their votes are not a key factor in the campaigns it is the donors. When the campaigns are over, the illiterate have no voice once again. Politics is not about the ideas about the ideas

With the media reporting on the presidential election coming up and the running candidates, there is a bias when the newscasters are reporting them to the public. Goldberg stated “CBS News—which claims to stand for fairness and objectivity—allow words like ‘scheme’ and ‘wacky ' in what is supposed to be a straight news story about a legitimate candidate running for president of the United States.” Goldberg’s statement is true today with running candidate Donald Trump. There is a lot of negative views on Trump but for reporters to place their own opinion on him when reporting the news is not right. Newscasters are to report in a straight objective way and inserting their views on the candidate is not being objective. No matter what the public is thinking about Trump, the reporters should not be putting their view on him or any other candidate when reporting. Trump is very egotistic but for a newscaster to state their opinion on this trait of him is not being

In Harwood’s article, he is on the side that media is to blame for the alienated voter, but he analyzes it deeper

Nelson Mandela has a quote that reads, “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. Mandela’s choice of words certainly embodies the nature of facilitated learning, and teachers are a major key in constituting an educational system. A great proportion of educators are armed with facts, information, and the skills required to assist learners in comprehending a practical understanding of any subject that contributes to his/ her education— which usually is referenced to public schools. Donald Trump’s pick for Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos represents the diametrical opposite of public educations’ ideal structure, and is comprised of everything that goes against the public-school system. I strongly resist

In the article “GOP-Fox Circus Act”, Reed Richardson argues that although both the GOP and Fox have conservative political values, they are ultimately harmful to each other’s agendas because of their differing political goals. Both organizations are lacking popularity in recent years so they are struggling to find new ways to gain an audience. The GOP wants to find a way to get their ideas to a wide variety of people, whereas Fox is promoting more liberal views to increase the ratings of their programs. On one hand, the GOP’s reputation is hurt by the inaccuracy of Fox’s reporting. On the other hand, Fox is tied down by the conservative views of the GOP, thus restraining Fox from gaining a larger audience. Journalist Reed Richardson wrote this article for The National, a liberal newspaper, in 2013, so the events and issues that he is speaking of are still relevant to this day. Due to the differences of political views between the author and the subject matter, there is plenty of room for biased statements and opinions. Does Richardson provide enough evidence of the harmful effects of the Fox and GOP relationship? Richardson clearly and meticulously establishes the problems that both organizations face in the pursuit of their political goals with the use of statistics, reliable sources, and thorough evaluation of events; however Richardson constantly provides the reader with a biased argument when discussing the current state of Fox.

Trump is our president in-elect, he will soon be the chief in command of our nation, and many are desperately worried about the future of America. Some people still won’t accept that Clinton lost while others are thrilled over the presidential election of Donald Trump. In Thomas Friedman's article Donald Trump Voters, Just Hear Me Out, he doesn’t necessarily agree with the decisions of either nominee, however he believes that Clinton will be the lesser of two evils. On the other hand of the spectrum, Deroy Murdock an extreme conservative firmly believes Trump’s presidential approach can solve the many problems in America according to his article Trump Can End Double Standard of Justice. However, being an extreme conservative he also believes

Maureen Dowd asserts that less in a year into the Trump administration, he has left America disappointed by his blunders. She identifies his unwise decisions and poor judgment calls such as selecting unqualified cabinet leaders, the healthcare bill that worsened the issue rather than fix it, and his broken promise of bringing his business acumen to get D.C. working again. She iterates her disillusionment with Trump’s lackluster performance in order to leave no doubt that he is not the best representative of the United States of America. Dowd directs her letter towards Trump but she desperately pleads with the Americans who are on the fence or defensive of Trump’s suitability for the presidential office to realize his actions are not acceptable.

Throughout the first week of THE 225, many events took place within America that took the country by surprise. Trump’s inauguration was last Friday, January 20th, and already he has made drastic changes that will affect the lives of millions. His policies are based off sexist and racist claims that people have, for some odd reason, supported. With his new, corrupt policies, life in America will soon be set back decades because of his white supremacy mentality. Because of this, the nation has never been so divided since the Civil Rights Movement, something that was seemingly done with but clearly not if white supremacy becomes an issue. Although Trump’s America is not an ideal America and his claim to “Make American Great Again” implies

With the impending election looming closer and closer, the approach of the presidential throne seems to elicit a plethora of opinions on who is the most viable candidate. However, the candidate that has caused controversy at every angle possible is none other than Donald Trump. Famous for his extreme affluence and most notably his TV drama, The Apprentice, President-elect Donald Trump has integrated his unctuous persona into his campaign. The San Diego Union Tribune’s article on Donald Trump, “…Great Power and Greater Irresponsibility”, introduces us with the possibility that Donald Trump is not the “Make America Great American” man he claims to be, and in fact he is the exact opposite. While for some Americans, his aversion to political correctness is admirable and induces a strong support; many are adverse to his social conduct and view his idiosyncrasies polar to the fabric of the Constitution. The article brings forth a target audience of both non-supporters and supporters alike in grave attempt to eradicate this supposed allure of Trump.

On the third, Trump tweeted “The rigged Dem Primary, one of the biggest political stories in years, got ZERO coverage on Fake News Network TV last night. Disgraceful!”. Trump attempts to show the extent of bias in the media exposing that they didn’t report a major event. This tweet has bias towards Trump’s personal agenda against the media. Additionally, Trump exposes the strength of the media’s gatekeepers and how greatly they can impact which issues are talked about.

In an article published by U.S. News & World Report entitled “Give Him the Benefit of the Doubt” (20 January, 2017), Michael C. Barnes encourages Americans to be deferential and hopeful with the approaching presidency of Donald Trump, arguing that his opponents should “protest the new president's actions if necessary, but [not] his presidency.” Barnes advocates this behavior by condemning those who are “[reinforcing] gridlock and [impeding] progress on important issues” through their boycotting and degrading of Trump’s inauguration; by demonstrating Trump’s commitment to serve the public, as well as gain its approval, even if it is through unconventional means, such as tweeting; and by reiterating that Trump has “unique talents” and “deal-making

I decided to do my research on comparative reasoning on California’s Senate Kamala Harris’s campaign ads because I actually voted for her this past election. In the video you see the words “fearless” in bold letters being quoted from Elizabeth Warren. She claimed that Kamala was “fearless.” The video lists three major reasons for Elizabeth’s claims. The ad states that Kamala “prosecuted predators and transnational gangs exploiting women and children, sued oil companies that violated hazardous waste laws, and sued big banks for homeowners that won a $20 million payout.” At the end again you see Elizabeth making a speech calling Kamala “fearless” and Kamala appears after with her slogan “Fearless for the people.”

Donald Trump was elected president of the United States of America on November 8th, 2016, and now has been running our country for over a year. As Trump’s first year in office slowly began, his reputation seems to be creating different outside views of our nation and arguments started producing everywhere. After competing with Hillary Clinton for the presidential term in office, Trump defeated her along with her democratic supporters causing one of the most shocking elections in U.S. history. Using public media web pages, we are reviewing both sides of the argument regarding Trump’s election and we are going to decipher why each arguer supports their side, and why each side is reasonable for the benefit of our country.

Donald’s Trump’s victory in the 2016 election is very complex. The political mishaps that have occurred since JFK’s presidency reshaped the American psyche of who the president should be. This chain of dissatisfaction with the federal government led the American people to hope for a president who is honest, free of corruption, and supportive of the middle class. Trump recognized the American need for a new kind of president and took on a persona that perfectly exemplified this. The Trump Mythology is the belief that Donald Trump is a transparent, honest politician; however, this is only part of the equation. Belief in the Trump Mythology contributed to his victory, but it is also important to acknowledge the respective roles of demographics, voter turnout, and Hillary Clinton’s flaws. An interesting difference between the Kennedy Mythology and the Trump Mythology that is worth noting is the role of the media. Throughout the Kennedy Era, popular media fed the people’s fascination of Kennedy’s Camelot, perpetuating the mythology. Donald Trump, however, was largely hated by popular culture. American media ultimately discounted Donald Trump as a viable contender for the presidency.
