I have chosen the debate where Trump decides to really go off on Hillary Clinton in front of everyone for the first time. He did a great job at speaking over Clinton during the debate in order to get his points across. Most of these comments included ways to expose why Clinton was not fit for the job. Trump does an excellent job at keeping those watching interested in what is going to come out of his mouth next. No President has ever had such a forward way of speaking, as he does not speak much like a politician at all. He excels at avoiding mistakes he has made, by dodging the topic or explaining the issue in a way that enlightens the topic at hand. His debating skills are very strong as he seems to always hold his own throughout the election debating with all the candidates. He was the most outspoken candidate throughout 2016 and also seemed to be picked on the most from the other representatives. Trump handled this in stride making him the center of attention and ultimately earned the votes from enough people to win the election. Trump enjoys being the center of attention during these high pressure debates, and had to of been a key factor in getting him as far as representing the Republican party.
This big mouth of Trump also worked negatively I would have to say. Some people did not enjoy the way he treated others, and saw him as a cruel leader. His main issue throughout the campaign was in fact the way he said things often that he should not have ever said at all. I would suggest for him to be more careful with the topics he discusses to the public. When he loses his cool he tends to say things that are at times to bold given the situation. For example, it was no secret he lost the votes from several women due to the ways he spoke about them. He also lost votes from several minority groups he appeared to have a negative image of regardless of how the individuals with that background turned out.
The issues I would suggest Trump talks about is about the things the people of the United States care about most. Not immigration so much, but rather the education system and economy. He should focus on how he is going to help out the way these two topics can be resolved much more than he did during the campaign. His hatred towards others and desire for such drastic change with immigration policies makes him look as though he wants to create bad blood with others in a time where many are in hopes for peace in this great country. Trump now has the opportunity to help out our country more than ever before, and I am interested and hopeful for the near future to come with him representing us as the President.

Trump Inauguration Speech ^^^^^^

I have chosen to blog about Trumps inauguration speech which was talked about so much after he delivered it. What Trump did so well included the way he stayed the same as he was all campaign, and stuck to saying what he planned to do all along. He was straight to the point and powerful with the statements he made. He is an influential man who is not afraid to say what he wants. This inauguration speech was said to be different from any Presidents in the past.
I think he could've been more positive during this speech. The inauguration speech is meant to bring the nation together with a new leader bringing hope to those who need it. Instead, this speech seemed to bring fear to many as to the plans Trump unpredictably has in store for the near future to come. Trump spent almost the entire speech talking about what is wrong with America with in some cases weak attempts to explain how it was all going to be resolved.  The speech focused on how everything now was basically terrible and needed a change. He also focused on things such as going to war and exterminating the enemy. The rally was meant to bring people together, and bring joy to a brighter future, however his speech had so much negativity it made it hard to see the speech this way. Trump made valid points, however he did not include enough positive thoughts to an inauguration speech.
He talked of an education system in which was flushed of cash. Trump focused on the crime from drugs and gangs robbing our country. Trump talked about how we have protected other borders while forgetting to protect our own. Along with the trillions of dollars of overseas money we have spent. He claimed the simple rules of Buy american hire American.
This speech must have scared several people in America. It had many things he wanted to change including an attitude of wanting to go to war with anyone who is messing with the American people. Trump in my opinion should have focused much more on the positive things during a speech in this atmosphere welcoming him as our new President. In conclusion, the social media broke out and expressed how they felt about trump. Many did not agree with the way he approached this speech, and are now living in fear of what is going to happen next. This does not speak for everyone though, because I also noticed a good amount of people who supported Trump for bringing up so much negativity and they believe he can turn it all around. I hope they are right, because after hearing this speech it is evident of the great amount of work Donald Trump is going to have to endure in order to overcome many issues over the next four years.

The way I viewed Donald Trumps SWOT analysis is portrayed by my perspective from what I have seen and learned about Trump throughout his campaign. His major strength includes his ability at being the master of the media. Getting his name out there and talked about on social media sites is what he does best. A weakness he has on the other hand includes his inability it seems to filter what he is saying. He is known for saying things he shouldn't, because if he has an opinion he is not afraid to express it. Opportunities Trump has are almost endless. He has millions of dollars to go along with his ability to run as the President of the United States of America. Threats Trump faces is anything he may do to negatively influence our country or his image. He is always going to be in the spotlight, therefore must be careful before making each decision daily. The media will always hype up any negative or positive thing Trump endures during his campaign. It makes the stories more interesting, and is simply how the media works.
The issues Trump highlighted most include immigration. He stressed how serious he is about immigration policies to remove those who are not American at all costs. His talk of building a wall is clear evidence about how strongly he feels about this topic. Trump also talked quite a bit on the budget and economy. The third thing he talked about most often was the crime in the United States. He called the police force the most mistreated people in America. He also emphasized how judges need to be held accountable and to not reduce sentences.
Trumps main three members of his team during his campaign included Roger Stone, Corey Lewandowski, and Paul Manafort. Roger Stone is a longtime key advisor for Trump and been there for him over the years. Corey Lewandowski believes in Trump deeply, and that is why I believe Trump wants to keep him around. Lewandowski has a motto quoted saying "Let Trump be Trump." Paul Manafort has been working in politics for the Republican party since 1976. He is very knowledgeable, and will be a great asset for Trump to have help him out. He ended up becoming the campaign manager for Donald Trump.
