Compare And Contrast Trump And Barack Obama
The two public figures who come to mind first would have to be Donald Trump and Barrack Obama. Since the beginning of the election this past year, the two public figures have faced an abundant amount of conflict. Even though the two have shared the same job position, both showcase themselves very differently in their character and personality. For instance, Trump, in my opinion, speaks very highly of himself and has been shown heavily in the media that he is not the most liked President. This has conflicted with his presidency and how others perceive him. On the other hand, Obama has proved to be the opposite from Trump. Obama has shown to the black community that he can be their voice. He not only gave a voice for the black community but to

    Obama and Reagan’s position in the United States both started during hard economic times. While Reagans term was during the inflation period, Obama also addressed the weak economy he was faced with when he took office. These presidents have different views and ideas of how government works and how much government should be involved in citizens personal lives. Reagan believed that the United States was “a nation that has a government – not the other way around.” He strongly believed that the government should only do what the people wanted it to and that the citizens of America granted it its power to do so, as he restated, “all of us need to be reminded that the Federal Government did not create the states; the states created the Federal…

    President Woodrow Wilson supported President Theodore Roosevelt 's foreign policy of aggressive nationalism, but preferred a more diplomatic approach. President Wilson hoped to revolutionize internal affairs. He first displayed his ideas in the Fourteen Point speech. Wilson wanted to dismember the imperial order by opening up colonial holdings to eventual self-rule and all European sections of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires to immediate independence. Their attitudes and actions mirrored their characters; Roosevelt was "open, aggressive, and high-spirited", while Wilson was more reserved in nature. After losing the Republican primary to Taft in 1912, Roosevelt became the nominee for the Progressive party. Wilson was the Democrat 's nominee. Their campaigns touted New Nationalism (Roosevelt) versus New Freedom (Wilson), but both campaigns had some common messages. Both candidates were concerned with righting the wrongs of corruption and the role of increased governmental controls and regulations over business. "But Roosevelt welcomed federal power, national planning, and business growth". Both President Roosevelt and President Wilson achieved much while in office. Roosevelt was a strong proponent of the nation 's natural resources, and protected and preserved the natural habitat by establishing national parks and forests. He also worked to control trusts, in order to protect workers, consumers, small businesses, and the economy. The Pure Food and Drug Act was ratified during his administration. The Wilson Administration was responsible for lowering tariffs, reforming the banking system, measures that made it legal for workers to strike, and the Clayton Antitrust Act.

    Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin on February 12, 1809 in Hardin County, Kentucky.
