Donald Trump Trumps Himself

It’s time to build a great big wall, to keep Donald Trump out.

Trump’s radicalist ideas, such as his wall along Mexico, deserve to keep him out of The Presidential Office.

Trump’s presidential platform rides on his experience as a businessman, foreign policy, and lack of political correctness. American voters who like him are fans of his outgoing non-presidential charisma. However, Trump’s theatrics may cause him to suffer later in the race.

No matter how Trump got to be the businessman he is, he has an overwhelming shadow of distinguishment over the countries economics. He is the chairman and president of the Trump Organization. The Trump Organization within itself made revenue of 605 million dollars in the 2014 year. On top of this, 275 to 325 million of those dollars were profit.  

With this in mind, it is obvious Trump knows his way around money. His economic prowess is a major factor within his campaign.

Trump’s view on foreign policy is head-strong American all the way.

“Reclaim millions of American jobs and reviving American manufacturing by putting an end to China’s illegal export subsidies and lax labor and environmental standards. No more sweatshops or pollution havens stealing jobs from American workers,” said Trump’s campaign website.

Trump also wishes to make a wall along the southern border of the U.S. in order to keep illegal immigrants out of America. His plan is to make Mexico pay for the wall.

However, Trump’s largest asset within his campaign is his aggressive approach. Trump finds the people who are untapped and makes them like him. This makes him not liked by others due to his lack of political correctness, but makes up for it in the polls.

In a poll done by Monmouth University, Trump currently has 41 percent of the Republican vote. This is an overwhelming majority lead, considering the number of presidential candidates.

Trump simply lacks political correctness. His comments on Muslims and Mexicans are infamous. They speak to certain demographics within the American voters.

Trump’s charisma allows him to say whatever he sees fit to get his point across. Supporters of Trump are very fond this disposition on politics. “He is not trying to be politically correct and people like that. We don’t need a push-over in office we need a strong leader that’s going to do what is right for the country. What is right for the country is not what is nice and politically correct,” said junior Blaine Miller.

Trump speaks on behalf of America’s most radicalized ideologies and uses them for his advantage. He says what Americans feel on a deep level emotionally and it speaks to them.

However, this will come to be Trump’s achilles heel.

Trump’s loud and blatantly racist comments will pull him down due to the overwhelming amount of selfishness and bigotry he shows.

They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people,” said Trump in a speech on June 16, 2015.

“Some are good people.” He only assumes this though. While yes, there are Mexican immigrants that are involved with crime, not all are and making this kind of blatant statement is stereotyping and normalizing Mexicans as a whole as criminals. I am a first generation Mexican-American. My actions are nowhere near this type of generalization. Trump however seems to lump all Mexicans together. This kind of racist comment has no place being the president of the United States.

Along with the name-calling of Mexicans, Trump has disserviced Muslims.

Normal, non-radical, muslims are like any other religion. They have stricter customs sure, but not all of muslims want to watch Christians get blown up.

Trump does not seem to be aware of this.

Following the deeper and deeper awareness of ISIS attacks, Trump sees it fit to single out Muslims. This is prevalent in the fact that he called for the to wear badges, distinction the fact that they are Muslims. This is too disgustingly similar to World War II Germany with Jews that there lies no need in an explanation as to why this is outrageous.

It gets worse with Trump. His absurd comments have taken form into him saying that no Muslims should be allowed to enter the country. “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on,” said Trump on December 8, 2015.

This outlandish rhetoric proves Trump cares only for himself and not the American people as a whole.

With Barack Obama’s second term coming to close, there is undoubtedly a large racist portion of America that has built up over the years. Trump, in true businessman like fashion, takes great relish in addressing these people to gain popularity in votes.

There is no loss for Trump here. Worst case scenario, Trumps brand is as big as it will ever get. Best case, he is president of The United States of America. He is just selfish and is look for opportunity to gain more wealth and fame.

Whether Trump believes in all he is saying doesn’t matter. He is splitting votes and winning hand over fist. This shows no integrity in his beliefs and shuts down all he says.

Trump is an unequal opportunist attempting to appeal to racists, bigots, and all shades of the hatred rainbow. He is succeeding in this. Electing Trump president will not make America great again.
