Donald Trump’s Public Racism

Recently, a lot of prominent individuals in the political community have announced their bid for the upcoming presidential election. For the Democratic Party, leaders like Hillary Clinton, Jim Webb, Martin O’Malley, and Lincoln Chafee have declared themselves as candidates. Among the Republicans, declared candidates include Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump among ten others. Recently one of the Republican candidates, Donald Trump, has come under fire for what people are saying are racist remarks. Business Insider did a piece surrounding the controversy, including some materials from an interview they conducted with Trump himself. The article uses focuses on direct quotes from Trump about illegal immigration. The writer also showcases Trump’s defense to claims of his remarks being racist.   The article also highlights the consequences of Trump’s words, saying that multiple corporations including NBC, NASCAR, Macy’s, and Serta have severed ties with him. The article does a good job of having people relate to both sides of the issue. The media has deemed Trump’s remarks as racist and politically incorrect, hence the severed ties with business and loss of support in general. When I read the direct quotes in the article, it was hard not to find them insulting and prejudiced. However, whenever Trump’s defense is mentioned, and quotes from him display his frustration with his words being twisted, it’s easy to relate to as well. We’ve probably all had a situation where our words got skewed and got ourselves into trouble. We can relate to both sides of the story. The writer definitely does a good job of revealing the magnitude of the statements made by Donald Trump. He doesn’t jump to any conclusions or use any invalid arguments. He simply gives the information, all of which is accurate and written fluidly.trump

    You presented well written and quality information. This presidential debate should be interesting. I liked how you included the responses of NASCAR ,NBC, Macy’s and Serta. This gave another viewpoint to Trump’s actions, which is good to see.
