Donald Trump Speech Analysis
THE DAY THAT AMERICA GOT TRUMPED

As his signature theme song from Air Force One plays in the background, Donald Trump treads on the podium for his victory speech. As he speaks, I put myself in his position, a billionaire, TV personality, real estate king, no direct political experiences, impudent, grandiose, has reputation for being a narcissist and misogynist and wondered is there any other way to become the POTUS against Hillary Clinton other than being Trump. It certainly didn’t work for Bernie Sanders who sounded like a legit democratic socialist who vouched for increasing minimum wage rage to $15/hr from $12, voted against the Iraq War, ban fracking and impose tax on carbon to aggressively control climatic changes all of which Clinton

He was born into a rich family with the then real estate mogul Fred Trump as his father. And things were always competitive around the house. If you win, you are the ‘Killer’ and if you lose, you are nothing but an embarrassment. His self-definition is built around the very idea that you have to be unassailable to survive. And his energy was too much to handle even for Fred that he was sent to the toughest school, New York Military Academy for discipline. But that was not enough to hold the Trump horse. Soon after college, he entered the Manhattan real estate, which even his father didn’t dare to do, under the mentorship of the notorious Roy Cohn. Under Roy he became so resilient and counter-attack became his first move to his competitors. Hit them at their weakest spot with a force that makes them regret for messing with him. And if you lose, proclaim victory loudly. To Trump there was no such thing as bad publicity. In fact he dwelled and thrived in bad publicity. In the following years, he made sure that the Trump name echoed across America streets in such a way that the banks resorted to not seize his assets as they were worthless without his name on it at the time of his …show more content…
But he took his time to strike at the right moment. And the timing and political scenario he chose was bullseye. He chipped in at a time when middle class American’s economic scale was sliding, foresaw the fall of Sanders and a weak competition in the Republican Party. In fact his nomination was the hostile takeover of Republican Party. And he chose to compete as himself and not how others want him to be. In 17 months Donald broke every rule of American Politics. He grew up as a tough and loud businessman and great at making people succumb to his deals. He blurted out things he felt and never apologized as that would signify that he’s backing from his personal stand due to fear of others. And that he felt was a sign of a weak leader. He had the guts to hold his chin high and accept that he did say something offensive. And this trait of Donald somehow resonated among his supporters. He was a great salesman and marketed himself as a leader who is tough to crack and someone who actually says what he believes in (even though how brutal his thoughts are). On the other hand, they saw deception in Hillary (and again not in Sanders) especially when WikiLeaks and the FBI pounded her at the very last moment. His business expertise to gain publicity by all means clearly helped in getting widespread notice. He gathered the support of people who despise the system, turned people against media (who were interested in

    In Charles Blow’s “Failing All Tests of the Presidency” (2017) he asserts his opinion that Trump is not acting as a true president and he is merely holding a place for an actual president to arrive and replace him. Blow communicates this by saying “Donald Trump is a man of flawed character and a moral cavity,” and “His interests center on the self; country be damned.” He exaggerates all of Trump’s flaws without regard to the truth that, maybe he has done something good while in office. He does this in attempts to force his hatred of Donald Trump onto others that might already not support him. Charles Blow employs his hatred of Trump and writes very controversial articles to everyone who is indifferent or not in support of Donald Trump.…

    While discussing Trump’s business acumen Epstein felt it was necessary to establish that business success doesn’t correlate to political success, however, the two are not mutually exclusive and Trump could be multi-talented. The article also felt it was necessary to mention that Epstein had never read Trump’s book, it also then goes on to criticize the book by stating he has no interest in reading “The Art of the Deal.” This unnecessary and critical comment further enforces the idea that Epstein believes Trump is not fit to be president. In the concluding paragraph Epstein cements the idea that financial success does not transfer to political success. He then goes on to criticize Trump calling him arrogant and claiming his business prowess won’t transfer to his political career. Some of these statements may be based off of truth, but, to be a subjective article one can not put personal opinion in their…

    This lying delusional unqualified individual is trying to destroy the hard- work of honorable men and women that has taken decades of blood sweat tears to accomplish. His action clearly shows that his agenda is not to make America strong again, because he wants to remove and replace or destroy the things that makes a nation honorable and strong. By trump’s own admission in his autobiography he paraphrases that he loved the words truth-stretching so much that he took them as his own. Out of his mouth comes the truth, he loves being a…

    For example, the Justice Department sued Trump’s real estate company twice for not allowing black people to rent his apartments. The company gave different rental terms and conditions to black people that were unfair. The company also lied to them, saying their were no rooms available. During the presidential debates, Donald was asked about those claims and responded saying how an abundance of other companies have done that as well, as if that makes it okay for a future president to do so. In addition, Donald also attacked Muslim gold star parents verbally. Their son had died serving in the Iraq War. After the father gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention Trump said, “ If you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.”(Marans, “Here Are 13 Examples Of Donald Trump Being Racist). This remark is racist without a doubt and the effect of these examples are scary. He also accused Hillary Clinton of writing a script for the father which is rude and disrespectful. Donald Trump is a racist because of his indirect controversial…

    His ideas were so innovative and creative. Trump knew how to get thing rolling fast. He knew how to get money easily. Trump wanted to seek a new challenge. He was a big economic power, now he wants to be a big political power. He faced many people in 2000. Also, he is facing many other people this year in the elections. People say he has the chance. People say he doesn’t have the chance to be the president of U.S. That is only completion he may face that he will not win. In 200, he tried to run for president but he failed to show the people that he is a legitimate president. Now in 2016, he is running for president. People now ask that if can be a president. Some think he can be a successful president. Yet, some others think that he will lose this race miserably. We will have to wait and see what does his fate decides in the coming months.…

    What have we come to in America when one of our only candidates is volatile and intellectually unfit to run for president? Jennifer Robin also states “that when forced into a corner, Trump will crack.” (Robin, Paragraph 8) Unfortunately, Mr. Trumps has a delicate, but monstrous ego, which enthralls his explosive unpredictable behavior. This campaign has been a whirl wind of irrational behavior, with back pedaling and rationalizing bad behavior, instead of just admitting when he has…

    At this moment in time, most of our nation and possibly the world despise our poster boy. Donald Trump is said to be the end of America. He will bring about an apoplectic world in which nuclear warfare will have been the cause due to our President’s insipid anger issues. But here’s a question; Why is everyone so intent on jumping to conclusion on who this man is? Our society often tends to make the mistake of turning people into cartoonishly evil characters. Yes there are verifiable facts about the awful things that Trump has done but has anyone stopped to ask why he did those things? Is he a truly appalling man or is there a reason to the way he acts? Those are the questions we must ask ourselves about a similar ruler in history by the name…

    During the presidential campaign of 2016, a Republican man rose above the other contenders and became the worse president the United States of America has ever seen. Blinded by his wealth, he is a selfish person who only sees what's good for him and not America. This man is named Donald Trump, that guy who made an appearance in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," as well as the owner of the Trump Tower. Donald Trump doesn't deserve to be president because of his selfish and egotistical disposition.…

    His real estate business is in debt which could be used for leverage by other countries, he has had relations with the Russians during the 2016 election, and he has had financial things across the world which foreign governments could have used to get info on the U.S. Trump was ineffective in the fact that he let someone who had a checkered past get a security clearance to deal with top secret information, and he was abusing his powers to let someone close to him get so many good jobs. Also his security clearance had been revoked because of his checkered past, so information that he had access to could have been leaked to a foreign government who wanted to blackmail him. Trump and his family have also hurt the taxpayer. Within two months of him being in the White house, he spent 1.8 million dollars a month, compared to the…

    Donald’s behaviour is an act of embarrassment and shamefulness. He acts the way he does because he is embarrassed by his mother, the town he grew up in, and how much money they have. Donald knows his mother will spill his secret and who knows what else to anybody she decides to strike up a friendly, and what he believes to be annoying, conversation. My reaction to Donald is a feeling of understanding, because as a teenager, you often are embarrassed by relatives and would prefer if they didn’t talk about your childhood to anyone you may know personal.…

    There were many who thought that the leaking of the tape containing audio of Trumps’ lewd comments would finally beat him, but they were wrong. If you can't understand how someone could "still" vote for Trump after the tsunami of controversy he carried with him, consider that it is what made this such an unprecedented election. This election was not about greatness, the future, or even Donald Trump. It was about rebellion. To his supporters, a vote for Trump was a way to flip the middle finger to the system, the media, the elite, the liberals, the know-it-alls.…
