To Make America Terrible

To make America terrible, If Donald Trump was to be elected president it would be the down fall of America, Donald Trump can no longer be taken as a joke. He has outrageous proposals that offer worse solution than a snake oil sales man. Trump is extremely racist towards immigrants, Muslims and threatens the economy. He has placed a ban of all Muslims coming into the country, he wants to build a wall at the border of Mexico, he plans deport all illegal immigrants and supporters are voting for him because of his supposed successful business. Some people feel that he will "make America great again" but many believe that his plans will ruin America.

Firstly Trump has made many racist remarks over his campaign and most of his comments have been aimed at the Mexican community "When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bring crime. They’re rapists… And some, I assume, are good people" he assumes them to be rapist, murderers, drug dealers and during his rally’s and interviews and he states it on his own website that he promises to make Mexico pay and build a wall at its border, "Mexico's going to pay for the wall." He promises mass deportation of over 11 million immigrants and he calls for a ban of all Muslims coming into the country to reduce terrorist attacks “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States”. During a campaign rally on September 18th, 2015 in Rochester, New Hampshire he stated himself “We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims.” These plans of his are more likely to make the country bankrupt then “make America great again”.

Secondly the deportation of the 11 million immigrants as stated above, will cost the federal government between 400 billion and 600 billion dollars. It would shrink the labour force down eleven million workers, reduce the real GPD by 1.6 trillion dollars and it would take 20 years to complete, this alone would destroy the economy. Again on his website he states "I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I'll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border,” the wall which Trump intends to build would cost an estimated 2.8 million dollars per mile or 5.6 billion dollars in total. This is excluding the cost of maintaining the wall which would be an average of 750 million dollars a year. Although Trump stated that he would “make” Mexico pay for this wall but they won’t have the time nor the money to build a wall. So if Donald trump were to be elected there would be a very high chance that he would ruin the economy, making the whole country bankrupt, if he wanted to solve the debt for the country he might not want to waste his money building a wall.

Thirdly Trump supporters have come to praise the man and believe that he will make America great again. On a website (The Atlantic, Conor Friedersdorf, 17 Aug 2015) they had interviewed trump supporters and this is what they had to say. “He leads an enormous, diversified organization that is worth billions. This requires leadership. Leadership, by the way, is different from knowledge. When you lead a large organization you set vision, goals and expect results. You do not know every detail of every level of your organization. You can’t. The world is just too complicated. You delegate and empower. You can get information when you need it and the president has no shortage of people ready to educate him on issues.” The supporters believe that he would make a great president because of his business ventures, how he runs a multi-billion dollar company, and the huge successes that follow in his wake. “What do you think of? War? Poverty? Political division? Do we see greatness in America still on a daily basis or even in the movies? The Trump Family is the picture of the American Dream … When Donald Trump says that he wants to make America great again, I believe him.” Supporters see him as this picture perfect man who’s successful, but that’s only half the truth. If Trump was to be elected it would confirm every stereotype that Americans routinely deny, that they worship wealth and detest minority groups.  

Finally Many people are voting for him because his ‘successes’. The website ‘Time’ explains Donald Trump’s failures such as Trump airlines which lasted about 3 years before being shut down due to it being unpopular and ridiculously expensive. Trump steaks, Trump claiming them to be the best steaks in the world. The steaks were priced between 199 dollars and 299 dollars and over 50% of people that had the stake gave reviews that were highly negative. Trump Vodka, introduced in 2006 the company “failed to meet the threshold requirements” and was forced to discontinue the drink two weeks after it being placed on shelfs. Bankruptcies, 2010 Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. had succumbed to bankruptcy for the third time. Trump had denied the fact he was bankrupt and his real-estate bailed him out 65 million dollars and nine months later he fell into a debt of 4 billion dollars. He didn't declare personal bankruptcy, although his famous Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City. Trump has failed more than he has succeeded, if Donald Trump was to be in charge of America and made one mistake it could cost the country greatly. 

In conclusion Donald Trump will single handily ruin America if he is to be elected president, the country is already in debt and trump will make it much worse. His proposals are outrageous and he is the stereotypical American that worships wealth and detests minority groups. Donald Trump will not make “America great again” but instead make America terrible.
