Make America Hate Again

“So, ladies and gentlemen, I am officially running for president of the United States, and we are going to make our country great again.” I was at the beach when I heard these words come out of Donald Trump’s mouth. And I smiled. I mean, the guy is a businessman. From what I knew, he had never had any political experience in his life. So I went back to life. Time passed. The Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage. ‘Deez Nuts’ declared a run for president, something I took as seriously as Donald Trump’s announcement. And then... the media. Channel after channel, news station after news station, article after article, every word was plagued with: TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! And as if that wasn’t bad enough, we might as well have said that SARS mutated into the “Trump Disease”. At school: “...Oh, didn’t Donald Trump say that?” On the street: “…And Donald Trump…” At the dinner table: “Donald Trump said earlier today…” …show more content…

He was smart. He got nearly all (if not all) of America’s media outlets to follow his every. Move. But in all of his political rhetoric, Mr. Donald J. Trump may have forgotten that America is not composed entirely of cisgender, filthy rich, white men. That we haven’t all had the luxury of “going to the best schools”. And most importantly, that we don’t all confuse xenophobia with patriotism. There is nothing “patriotic” about proclaiming to ban and ostracize people because of their race or faith.

    Donald J. Trump, is known to many as the orange man who wags his finger down a long table of celebrities firing them left and right every Sunday night on NBC. To others he is known as the billionaire tycoon, who graces our headlines for remarkably insensitive or oddball remarks. All (not even possibly Mr. Trump himself), at least until now, viewed him as a possible candidate for the next President of the United States. But as polls indicate, and citizens across the country (both moderate and conservative) vote in favor of Trump, he may very well be sitting in the oval office come January 20th, 2017. Whether this strikes fear in your heart, or tremendous hope is beside the matter, no one can deny the fervor and mania Trump

    Trump University was a fraudulent scheme that preyed upon the elderly and uneducated to separate them from their money,” (Cassidy). Whether through his actions or by the words of his past employers, it is evident that Trump is motivated by his own greed and self-gain. He is willing to swindle his way into success, even if it means cutting down on actual working class Americans to get there. Examining Trump’s rhetoric and past actions, it becomes clear that Trump’s ability to be the leader of America, especially in today’s already heated world climate, becomes questionable. When even the members of his own party refuse to endorse him and claim that he is not qualified to run a country, the general public needs to sit back and question his integrity.

    From the beginning days of the printing press to the always evolving internet of present day, the media has greatly evolved and changed over the years. No one can possibly overstate the influential power of the new media of television on the rest of the industry. Television continues to influence the media, which recently an era of comedic television shows that specialize in providing “fake news” has captivated. The groundbreaking The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and its spin-off The Colbert Report have successfully attracted the youth demographic and have become the new era’s leading political news source. By parodying news companies and satirizing the government, “fake news” has affected the media, the government, and its audience in such a way that Bill Moyers has claimed “you simply can’t understand American politics in the new millennium without The Daily Show,” that started it all (PBS).

    When Donald Trump announced he was running for president on June 16, the idea seemed faintly ridiculous. The Washington Post said that he faced “an uphill battle to be taken seriously by his rivals, political watchers and the media.” The New York Times described it as an “improbable quest for the Republican nomination.” He was polling at less than 3 percent.2 But as the summer of Trump lingers into autumn, the real estate magnate remains the front-runner in the Republican presidential primary. The political establishment is flummoxed, and at least one of its members has concluded that Trump 's supporters are just insane.
