Charles Griffin Mr. Carrothers American History 10 March 2017 President Trump’s Executive Orders President Donald J. Trump has issued 15 executive orders according to The White House website. Many of which are concerning The United States of America’s government, economics, military, public safety, and world relations. I will be explaining an executive order President Donald J. Trump signed concerning the budget regarding U.S. military funding. I will be comparing this executive order by President Donald J. Trump to militarism that was discussed in Ch. 9 with Mr. Justus. In this executive order, known as “Rebuilding the U.S. Armed Forces”, in the second section, it discusses how one of the first steps is to have The Secretary of Defense, currently …show more content…

Nowadays, countries are so advanced and have powerful allies. Shifting some funding to ensure that U.S. soldiers are getting efficient training and equipment does not mean the United States of America is looking for a fight, it means that the U.S. is trying to be prepared for a fight if our country is attacked. The U.S. is only trying to give our country a fighting chance against other countries and when we are ahead of other countries in training, weapons, ect. we will try and stay ahead of others to ensure the safety of the United States of America. President Donald J. Trump’s executive order “Rebuilding the U.S. Armed Forces” is literally militarism in itself but is very necessary and essential for the United States of America’s critical …show more content…

Trump also is trying to hold onto his running slogan. “We’re going to build a wall.” This was what President Donald J. Trump ran on and was a large reason he won the election. Though the wall is a new idea it is a perfect example of isolationism. When President Donald J. Trump says he wants to build a wall he is saying he wants to block off America and Mexico. America and Mexico has always had a touchy relationship and America’s policy on the matter has changed so much and so often it’s hard to keep track of what is what. From mass deportations to blatant racism. According to npr.org “During the 1930s and into the 1940s, up to 2 million Mexicans and Mexican-Americans were deported or expelled from cities and towns across the U.S. and shipped to Mexico. According to some estimates, more than half of these people were U.S. citizens, born in the United States.” This is similar to what President Donald J. Trump wants to do with deporting 11 million immigrants and build a wall to limit immigration and illegals. This is a great example of isolationism because America is trying to limit its relationships with a

    Donald Trump, to portray a parallel, had his heart set on building a wall along the border of the United States and Mexico in order to eliminate the issue of illegal immigration. Not only was Trump convinced that he would be able to build a wall, Trump believed that he could force Mexico into financing the colossal project. Although Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto asserted that Mexico would not handle the fees, Trump considered to insist that he would get Mexico to pay for the large scale architectural project. Trump conveyed wooden headedness by simply refusing to acknowledge the fact that Mexico would not help with the payment. Trump came into the entire situation with a overly confident approach, which seems to enhance the degree of wooden headedness.Trump was able to ignore the flaws, or facts, that seemed to hinder the possibility of the success of his plan by approaching the situation in a conceited

    As America heads into a new year, we find our government tightening its purse strings and cracking down on excessive spending, with an emphasis on the US military. According to author Brad Plumer, a reporter at the Washington Post, “U.S. defense spending is expected to have risen in 2012, to about $729 billion, and then is set to fall in 2013 to $716 billion, as spending caps start kicking in.” Pared with a more drastic 350 billion dollar cute going into effect over the next ten years, the military finds itself cutting what cost the most to maintain and support troops (Fact Sheet par. 2). In recent years the military has bolstered an overwhelming 1,468,364 troops (Active Duty). These numbers are to be cut substantially; the biggest cut is to be seen in the Army. The Army must deal with a reduction of 80,000 troops, cutting its force of 570,000 troops to nearly 140,000.Subsequently, the budget cuts, which have led to a reduction of troops in the military, has driven the military to turn to advanced weapons technology that requires less people to m...

Trump feels so confidently that this will happen he has even mapped it out day by day after he takes office of presidency stating, “On day 2 Mexico will immediately protest. They receive approximately $24 billion a year in remittances from Mexican nationals working in the United States. The majority of that amount comes from illegal aliens. It serves as de facto welfare for poor families in Mexico. There is no significant social safety net provided by the state in Mexico.

    Right now, Donald Trump, who is running to be the president of the U.S., believes that a wall should be built across the Southern border, and the U.S. should send children and their families back to their homeland. Donald Trump has clearly not thought about how this can have a significant impact on our country economically, and how it can affect families and communities. Everyone should be treated equally and not be differentiated because of their status. Undocumented immigrants want a better life for them and their families; why can’t they just receive the U.S. citizenship opportunity?

  • Military Spending Pros And Cons

    1778 Words  | 4 Pages

    Should the government decrease military spending or should it increase military spending? This is a question that many Americans wrestle with, and politically speaking, is a point of great contention since to many, military might evokes a sense of security. However, when considering this question from a foreign policy standpoint, does current military spending really match the current level of threats faced by the United States, or are too many dollars being allocated for an unnecessary level of military strength? There are certainly cons in making the decision to drastically lower military spending, but they are minimal when compared to the positive ramifications such a decision would have. This paper aims to explore these pros and cons

    Will the security of our nation be compromised? Will U.S. enemies take it as a chance to land a brutal blow against America? Yes, these things will happen. However, they will only happen if the military budget is decreased too much, or if funds are not used appropriately. For instance, maybe the U.S. needs to invest less of its resources into meddling into foreign affairs. At some point, America became the terrorists in the “War on Terror.” Undoubtedly, America has the strongest and best-trained military on the planet. Mainly because of how many resources we’ve invested in building it. Granted, this great country will not falter with some military budget cuts here and there. Instead, it can take those funds and invest them into the leaders and workforce of tomorrow and brighten its

Many immigrants came to America seeking greater economic opportunity, others, such as Pilgrims came in the early 1600’s in the search for religious freedom (History.com Staff, par 1).

They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re
