In the midst of one of the most controversial presidential elections in history, both political parties are struggling to prove that their candidate is the best choice. Clinton and Trump’s disapproval ratings are very low, but one has to ask, is there really a lesser evil to choose from? While Clinton has had her own fair share of past discrepancies, Trump’s track record proves much more troublesome. Donald Trump has proven to be an untrustworthy presidential candidate because of his misogynistic actions, his racial bias, and his corrupt business history.
During the Republican debate on August 6, 2016, Trump had a falling out with Fox correspondent Megyn Kelly after she questioned him about some of his comments on women, where he referred to them as “’fat pigs’, ‘dogs’, ’slobs’, and ‘disgusting animals’,” (Bahadur). Trump went on to say Megyn was just a “bimbo” and he “did not recognize” the remarks she had said (Bahadur). However, this incident is just one of many times Trump has made belittling comments about women. On May seventh, 2013, Trump tweeted about the ongoing problem of women in the military being raped by other soldiers. He questioned, “What did these geniuses expect when they put men and women together,” (Bahadur). Rape is a very traumatic experience, and the lack of respect he showed towards the women who are laying down their lives for America is very telling of how he views women. Trump simplifies women down to their sexuality with his insensitive comments. For instance, on April 16, 2015, he tweeted, “If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America” (Bahadur). Whether Clinton would be a qualified president or not, Trump disregards all her life’s work, and blames her for...

...raudulent scheme that preyed upon the elderly and uneducated to separate them from their money,” (Cassidy). Whether through his actions or by the word 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 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. In Trump’s past, he has proven to be an insensitive, racist, greedy business man. Why would he prove to be any different once elected to office?
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
Should someone else be elected? To what standard should they be judged? For starters, the characteristics of a leader must be the paramount standard of verdict; although Sarah Palin has been offensively troubled by the media on the simplest of matters, her personality and character are equivalent, if not more tolerable than President Obama’s. Once entirely understood, maybe the United States will alter its criteria. Despite recent failures on a variety of political aspects, Obama has managed to maintain his “cool.”
Donald Trump can be appreciated for his cunning business savvy and an ability to at various times throughout his career, make it big. By co-creating this reality show with Mark Burnett, not only has he capitalized on the public's desire to fantasize about (and for a precious few, compete for) achieving a high-profile, financially lucrative career as a business mogul, he has also brought to the mainstream audience a heated, emotional and stimulating debate about something that we all seem to have an opinion on: what it takes to be a great leader.
Donald Trump has been a bad influence to the United States that doesn’t deserve to be president. The entire thing he has done during his running doesn’t show that is able to be president. Trump is an arrogant person that doesn’t deserve to be president and doesn’t deserve to be able to run a country; he is acting like a child he is not mature to run for
Warren turned the situation right back around when she announced how atrocious not only that behavior was but his behavior is consistently towards women. As the audience recalls the comment in the presidential debate, she follows it up by referencing the other moments where he took advantage of women to paint the mental set of trump as both a physical and verbal abuser of women. This may not be the complete story but the power of the misinformation effect enhances all past memories relating to his abuse as even more drastic than they already seemed. After this election is over I can imagine that Trump is going to have a very hard time associating with anyone who self-identifies as a woman because all their available memories of Trump associating with women are vividly abusive. As the availability heuristic explains, their first thought will be most likely one that’s related to him groping them or him calling them some name that they would rather not be called. Imagine what most Americans must think of trump when they’re in the voting booths. Most likely their thought won’t revolve around the issues that he neglects to speak on but instead their thoughts will revolve around what type of person he is or how much they would rather not have their children observationally learn from the man. As an authority figure, anything he does in front of an impressionable mind seems like
As a result of extreme hard work and perseverance followed by an unmatchable drive to succeed, Donald J. Trump has earned the right to be known as a multi-billionaire, real estate icon, and President of the United States of America. Reflecting on his life, he has faced many challenges and overcame them all. To understand how he rose to success and his journey to the top of the kingpin, it is important to recognize how he saw the American dream and pursued it. Today, many recognize him as the president, but very few can fully grasp all that he has done in his life. From his start as a real estate mogul, to his impact on the media, there are many questions as to how he became so recognizable today.
In the case of “rape by fraud”, the bill, if passed, will become a law that will hold all individuals, male or female, accountable for lying to get sex in the eyes of the law. However, the New Jersey lawmaker, Troy Singleton, could be targeting men. In some of his interviews on why he proposed this bill, he was quoted using pronouns like “him” or “he” and never using “she” or “her” when he is discussing the perpetrators. I cannot say for sure if the lawmaker knows that he is coming off as sexist or not, but the way he is wording some of his statements are suggesting that the target population is men. When the topic of sexual assault and rape comes up, the stigma is usually that men are the perpetrators and the women cannot be the perpetrators. So, it is not surprising that in this unique rape bill that men are directly and indirectly targeted as the perpetrator and not necessarily the

The 2016 election cycle has been one for the history books. For the Democrats, we have Hillary Clinton, the first female Democratic nominee and proclaimed liar and murderer. The right has indicted her in the death of those involved in Benghazi, and they have continued to slam her for her private email server and deletion of thirty thousand emails. On the right, we have business mogul Donald Trump. He is a self-proclaimed womanizer, and he is ready to build a wall, and make Mexico pay for it. From many Americans eyes, this is an election in which we will elect the ‘lesser of two evils’. As the days until the election continue to dwindle, we are beginning to really consider the dark question that has been looming above our heads for months—who is going to win the election?
"All that crap about how if we had a pussy for president there wouldn't be no more wars. Pure garbage. You got to get rid of that sexist attitude."
Yet another presidential race is afoot. Ever news channel is fraught with the latest drama and social media with the most opinionated people conceivable. Mudslinging rears its ugly head, yet again, and obnoxious, one-liner bumper stickers are everywhere. It is to no surprise some find the election disturbing with all the nonsense that runs about, but there was recently a video that tops them all. A video that has been going around has depicted Hillary Clinton at her worst and concludes that she is a liar and a deceiver, but is this actually the case? A closer look might render a better insight. After observing the video, the conflict between Clinton and the media reveals both of their faults while leading to a possible solution.
His name is emblazoned all over the city. On luxury condominiums, high-rise residential buildings, office block and hotels, and at some of the New York's most prestigious addresses, Fifth Avenue, Wall Street, Park Avenue, the United Nations Plaza and even the ice rink in Central Park. TRUMP, often spelt out in gold capital letters in a font called Stymie Bold, is ubiquitous. But as well as being the place where he built his corporate and personal brand, the politics of Donald Trump can also be traced back to New York.
“She takes my money when I’m in need”. Those lyrics from Kanye West’s song “Gold Digger” shows his misogynistic views about gold diggers and how women use men for money. Still, in other parts of the song he shows that he shows that he loves them (“It takes too much to touch her; from what I heard she got a baby by Busta; my best friend says she use to f**k with Usher; I don’t care what none of y’all say I still love her.”). Kanye is one of many artists (especially hip-hop artists) that uses misogyny in their lyrics and see all women this way. The concept of a gold digger is quite popular and has been glamorized over history, however, the term revels misogynist and stereotypical ideas about women’s worth and motivations.
Because of his lack of experience in politics, capitalizing on the public’s fears of getting votes, being uneducated in the law, and disrespect for minorities in America are qualities a leader should not have. Even if Donald Trump funds his own campaign and has views on change. His views are harmful to American society. There are other reasons why he shouldn’t be the president, but these are the major ones.
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.
