November 4th,2016
An Inadequate Leader “We can’t direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails” said Thomas S. Monson. As this year comes to an end it is time to select a new president who will now adjust the sails, so that the United States of America can go through the upcoming Euroclydon smoothly. The intensity of this election is between a politician and a businessman. Politician, secretary of state, Hillary D. Clinton, born October 26th, 1947. The eldest daughter of a prosperous fabric store owner in Park Ridge, Illinois. Hillary Clinton worked her way up to the top of the social ladder, starting from the middle working middle class. She was inspired to work in public services when she was in

There are two types of leaders: a transactional leader and a transformational leader. A transformational leader instills a sense of mission or higher purpose, thereby changing the nature of the group of people. Whereas, a Transactional leader accomplishes the task at hand and also get its members to do their job. For example, abortion, a transformational leader will demand for a change in this area, whereas a transactional leader would not campaign for a change in the situation. When looking at candidate Donald Trump, he is neither a transformational leader or a transactional leader. He has high influence on the behavior of a group of people, but that influence comes from his social status and wealth. This kind of influence can often be misguided as leadership qualities. Edd Karr states that, “ Trump will unleash the power of innovation, entrepreneurship and work ethic that makes the country so unique.” (pg 3) He also says, “Trump knows how to embrace the power of the free market to maximize the country’s potential.” (Pg 3) One can refute Mr. Edd Karr statements by simply proving that he is influenced by Donald Trump’s social status and not by his morales. To become the president of such a diverse and bureaucratic nation, it is hard for one to be elected based solely on their social status or personal wealth. A president is a self-less leader who is willing to pilot a nation from it’s current …show more content…
Though politics can get dirty, Trump made it real filthy. In the past, candidates would campaign for themselves in commercials, newspapers or magazines. However, Donald Trump used social media, more specifically, twitter. Donald Trump used twitter as his battle ground. When someone hurts his feelings, or asks a question he might not like, he jumps on social media and slander the person or group. For example, when asked about his tax returns, on November 1st, 2016, he runs to twitter and says, “Look at the way Crooked Hillary is handling the e-mail case and the total mess she is in. She is unfit to be president. Bad judgement!”, later that day he says “Crooked Hillary should not be allowed to run for president. She deleted 33,000 e-mails AFTER getting a subpoena from U.S. Congress. RIGGED!”. Any negative light that may be shed upon him, he finds a way to throw the dirt at someone else. When certain questions are asked and he does not know how to answer, he begins to besmirch the person and then bring it back to social media, it can be said he has a tantrum when things aren’t going directly in his favor. However, after awhile he returns to the public and either apologizes or tries to justify his wrong. Trump cannot be blamed for his behavior, after all , he was born getting what he wants when he wanted. Donald Trump wrote a book, in which one of his chapters is titled “ revenge” where he speaks about getting

    Through the first presidential debate, Hillary Clinton has proved that she is the best choice for President. First, she proved that she is more empathetic to the common American. She herself came from a middle-class family. During the debate, she preached about her hardworking father, who worked in drapery. Trump came from a wealthy family, so he cannot relate to average Americans as well as Clinton can. She then expressed her desire for tax cuts for the middle class, and tax increases for the rich. She also mentioned how she intends to create 10 million jobs by investing in industries such as “clean energy”. She proved that she will do her best to make everyday life better for them. Next, she behaved more professionally then her opponent,…

    There is a singularity amongst all powerful leaders, and that is their capacity to influence their followers. However, not all powerful leaders are fabled by society. A leader who holds the capacity to simultaneously transform society and maintain a fabled reputation, is one who not only holds themselves, but also their followers to a higher standard of truth, ambition, and morality. The 40th president of the United States, Ronald Reagan adequately embodied the qualities of principality leader and was greatly favored by his followers. He started a revolution of reconstructing America and he influenced people to maintain an ambitious drive. The qualities he promoted as a leader, such as commitment to truth, integrity, morality, and dedication…

    His behavior is unusual, provocative and sometimes bizarre. As during the campaign, the press frequently focuses on the absurdity of his presidency, giving less print space and airtime for the more important, consequential issues. For example, during the week of the “covfefe” tweet, it was reported the president would pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement (Colvin). Trump capitalized on the attention and distracted Americans from important issues throughout the week. The public’s focus on meaningless spectacles ultimately undermines the democracy (Miroff).…

    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…

    A perfect example of this is his ongoing war on media, which ranges from him accusing news organizations of being fake to explicitly threatening the press. He infamously attacked CNN writer Michael Cohen during his first presidential press conference and began a shouting war with a CNN reporter who was begging to ask him a question. Trump’s justification was calling CNN “fake news.". During the same event, he asserted that Buzzfeed is a “failing pile of garbage” that would “suffer the consequences” for publishing an unverified dossier about his potential ties to the Kremlin in Russia (“Full” 18-19). Politico reports that, even before his election, Trump threatened to sue the press for publishing stories he believes to be false (Gold 2). These instances highlight Trump’s desperate attempt at quieting the media that reports against him by threatening to take a medium away form opponents. Further, Trump intentionally creates distractions from disagreement among the populous. Amidst nationwide protests and women’s marches concurrent with and following his inauguration, the new president, in a speech that was meant for the Central Intelligence Agency repeated false claims that over a million people attended his inauguration, even though expert photographic analysis of the event not only refutes his numbers, but shows that even more people attended women’s marches on that day…

    Transformational Leadership is a process that changes and transforms people. It is concerned with emotions, values, ethics, standards, and long-term goals. It includes assessing followers’ motives, satisfying their needs and treating them as full human beings (1). President Obama is a transformational leader in my opinion; his great vision and management skills help him develop a strong emotional bond with his followers. The vision that he wanted to get across to his followers in his first election was “change” (2), President Obama was so passionate with his vision for where he wanted the country to be in four years that it was hard not to follow him on his path. Whereas in this election it wasn 't so much about “change” (2) but giving him another four years to make all those promises about the economy come true (3). President Obama is so passionate about what he says that you can look at him and know his believes it with all his heart, that is why many of his followers from his first election still supported him in this election because of the way he motivates them and is able to connect with the lower class of America and get their votes. President Obama was able to appeal to his followers and their sense of a higher purpose in this country by giving them a voice in the White House. President Obama was able to appeal so well to these followers because of his skin color and the idea of him wanting to help the lower to middle class when no other President have done so much as he has for these classes.…

    Donald Trump’s use of twitter and the psychology behind it is analyzed through social media phenomena. The article “The Online Disinhibition Effect” by Dr. John Suler and the article “Did social media run election 2016) will be discussed through the point of views of Donald Trump’s use of twitter during the election” by Sam Sanders examines how the use of social media affect behaviors. Dr. Suler’s position is that the internet has a disinhibition effect, which for example, aggravates the use of twitter by Trump. He also argues online disinhibition is effected by six factors that interact with each other, which include: dissociative anonymity, invisibility, asynchronicity, solipsistic in-trojection, dissociative imagination, and minimization…

    His self-assured attitude is acceptable for inciting social media riots. Social media values emotional appeals over logical appeals. Trump often uses Twitter to poke his opposition and rally his supporters. His impolitic tweets attracted a wide variety of responses and helped him build a vast fanbase (Carr). When Trump posts a controversial opinion, there are always many fans backing him up in the debate that ensues. All the replies to Trump's tweet: "Huma Abedin, the top aide to Hillary Clinton and the wife of perv sleazebag Anthony Wiener, was a major security risk as a collector of info," were focused on the racism and the disrespect dropped on Anthony. Trump supporters countered replies made against Trump in multiple ways, including the citing of American pride and Trump's charitable actions towards civil rights groups. Hillary's Twitter, however, is a free-for-all because people don't care for her boring advertisements. By controlling the Internet's agenda, Trump can stay relevant in people's busy lives.…

    Sure, some accusations from those women may have been untrue. However, if you think about it, don't you think that these legitimate or forged accusations wouldn't even happen in the first place if he hadn't taken such actions. Moreover, when Trump decided to call us women as a “disgusting animal” or a “fat pig” to the public, personally, as a women - even if these thing weren't said to me directly, found it very offensive and uncomfortable, I felt sympathy towards women that were harassed and I wanted justice for those accused as liars for standing up for themselves.…
