...the media influence gave rise to Donald Trump In this new era of globalization, the media has more power and influence than it has ever had in the history of technology.

...President Donald Trump's plans to build a wall along the United States' southern border is inflaming relations between the United States and Mexico. It's a contentious issue, considering the border wall would cost billions of dollars.

...a productive president? Donald Trump has shown many times that he would not make a productive, reliable President. He has continuously made unprofessional remarks to, and about, many people that he could potentially lead. Donald Trump has made a large name for himself in the business world; he has done the same as a potential presidential candidate, but not in the right direction. A change in political parties may be what our country needs as it continues along the rebuilding process, but our choice for the next leader is a pivotal part of the change. Does our country need a person in office that vows to deport every illegal alien,...

Donald is one of the truest businessmen for the fact that he loves the game of business. He has done it all from casinos, to golf courses, to beauty pageants, to TV shows.

...A newly built controversial Scottish golf course has been under heated discussion recently. According to Anthony Baxter’s documentary “You’ve Been Trumped”(2011), Donald Trump, an American business magnate, opened his £1 billion golf course on the North Sea coast of Scotland. Mr. Trump has been facing boycott from conservationists as well as local people who were forced to sell their property as he embarks on this new project. At one point the use of CPO(compulsory purchase orders) to force residents to sell houses was nearly carried out by the Scottish government. Although the approval of CPO could accelerate the pace of the golf links construction and the course may provide job opportunity for local people, there is no doubt that every citizen has the right to keep one's own property and that no project should be built at the expense of the environment. As can be seen from the documentary, once construction begins on the 1,400-acre estate, the lives of the farmers and fishermen nearby have been disrupted. Residents lost electricity and water and were almost forced to move from their house, where Mr. Trump described as "slum" and "pigsty", which was very rude. Even though the CPO wasn't approved and many local people stayed where they were eventually, residents now are fenced with barrier and trees around their houses. One of the residents on the Menie Estate, David Milne, sees it as " just another attempt to intimidate and bully me". (Daily Mail, 2011) Apparently it is Mr...

...Many things have been written and said in the media, both pro and con, about perhaps the most polarizing individual in America today. Opinions and emotions are very strong concerning the current President, and even some well known mental health professionals as recently as last Tuesday held a panel discussion in Washington D.C. titled “The Increasingly Dangerous Case of Donald Trump” [1]. It was claimed that the President’s “mental instability” was supported by now well-known examples of exaggeration, lying, and personal vanity. Although many politicians and public figures are controversial because of these behaviors, I thought it would be interesting to examine and explain Donald Trump’s personality using two different perspectives: Freud’s...

...Washington to the controversial William Clinton. Newly elected president Donald Trump, a real estate tycoon, a billionaire, filled with the consumption of various professions and occupations, an open egocentric intent, takes the lead as the president of the United States and is viewed to be a barbaric president for many reasons and this is why. Donald Trump, a businessman, and a man who is not fit to be our leader should have never been considered to run in the presidential election as an acceptable applicant. Due to the fact that the United States is not a business and America ought to have a leader. One factor is due to Trump’s lack of political experience, which makes it uncertain for the American people. In what ways can Trump turn the US into a greater homeland when he can “pay for work” for whatever he requires? From the simplest jobs, Trump has the power to hire people because of how much wealth he possess. According to New York Times, Donald Trump’s Shocking Success, Donald Trump carries numerous offices at the Trump Organization, and in...

...Despite the 2016 United States Presidential election occurring in almost one year, it seems to be the only topic which the news media feels like discussing. The candidates have made themselves known, and with candidates such as Donald Trump, there is plenty to talk about. However, there are some candidates which the news media simply will not cover, whether it be because of their unpopularity, controversial viewpoints, or bias of sponsors. Senator Bernie Sanders is one of these such candidates, and being a self-declared Democratic socialist, he is a candidate whom the news media would rather ignore. The first Democratic Debate on October 13 (hosted by CNN), Hillary Clinton, being a previous candidate and well-known politician, was promptly declared to have “won” the debate by CNN, despite most focus groups declaring Sanders to be the winner. During the debate, Bernie Sanders made what many considered to be bold, revolutionary statements, such as his belief that college tuition should be nonexistent. Bernie Sanders is the best candidate for President of the United States for 2016 because he will lessen the wealth gap, strive for...

...DONALD TRUMP-AMERICAN BUSINESS MAGNATE Over the years, Donald Trump, Chairman and President of the Trump Organization has become a master of situating himself in the limelight with out-spoken interviews, his books, his television show, and especially his king-size lifestyle. Nonetheless behind it all this lies a very sharp businessman. Someone who is a tough negotiator, someone who knows how to build a brand and simply someone who does all this while building successful working relations with others. This starts my essay on why I admire Donald Trump. “I like thinking big. If you’re going to be thinking about anything, you might as well think big.” Donald Trump. Entrepreneur Donald Trump, through set-backs, controversies and successes, is someone who comes to my mind as a person one can admire and emulate. Donald John Trump was born in Queens, New York on June 14, 1946; the fourth of five children of Mary and Frederick Trump. Frederick (1905-1999) was himself a real-estate developer. Donald’s parent hoped a military school education would greatly benefit him, as it did Dwight Eisenhower, Ted Turner, and Douglas MacArthur to name a few and prepare him to enter the family business. Being an active and energetic child, his parents sent him to the New York Military Academy (est. 1889), located in the Cornwall-on-Hudson, at age 13. They hoped the academy’s discipline program would have an influence on him. By attending the military academy, which was a private boarding...
