Is there possibility of Donald Trump clinching the post of the US President?
Donald Trump, an American business magnate announced
his candidacy for the president United States of America in the 2016 elections
on June, 2015. Prior to this time, there had been speculations that he might
run for the seat of the president of the US.
Donald Trump is an American businessman aged 69. He
is a wealthy and popular businessman, a TV personality and a politician. He is
descended from a German immigrant, and has Scottish ancestry from the maternal
side. He was born in New York. He was brought up in a wealthy home, and he even
has a degree in Economics. He has investments in different sectors; a large
chunk of his investments are in real estate. He is into entertainment, sports
and a whole lot of other businesses.
Donald Trump has not really had it the easy way all
the time; he has faced some challenges like every other human. There was a time
in the 1980s and 1990s that he went bankrupt and had to sell some investments
and properties. Nevertheless, he bounced back from his challenges and today,
his net worth is more than 3 billion dollars.
Prior to the time he declared interest to run for
the seat of the president, there had been speculations that Donald Trump would
contest for the seat of the president. A poll had been conducted; Donald Trump
was voted as one of the ten people Americans adore. Donald Trump’s popularity
is an undeniable fact. However, since he declared his interest for the prized
seat, he had come under criticism from all corners because of his stance on
some delicate issues. These issues are about American’s immigration and foreign
policy, people’s culture and religion. He had suggested that Muslims should be
banned from entering the US, and he had made a suggestion about stricter
measure being adopted to fight illegal immigration. Although his opinion has
not made him lose out of the race for the presidential ticket of the Republican
Party, all the same, the general opinion of his candidature is moving on to the
bad side. His business associates and friends have criticized him, and some
have even cut the link they had with him.
Even if the Republicans choose him over the other
candidates in race for the presidential ticket, what will be his chance to win
the US Presidential election? And what do most people think of him?
He might not likely win this race because the public
opinion about his candidature is mostly negative. Though, the working class Americans
and a bigger percentage of Republicans seem to be of the same view with him,
most Americans and even non-Americans do not respect his views on these issues.
He has often taken controversial stance on these issues which is somewhat not
good for someone running for the world most powerful job.
He is rich and popular, but his unguarded statements
will certainly ruin his bid, damage his reputation and make him waste his
campaign money. His perseverance and entrepreneurial spirit is good for the
country; it will move the country to another height. Nevertheless, a bad
foreign policy of a nation can ruin a nation, because no nation can survive
alone. This might impede the future growth of the great America. Vote Wisely!
