On Tuesday, January 30, President Donald Trump gave his first State of the Union to Congress. It was one of the longest State of the Unions, at one hour, 20 minutes, the 3rd longest in American history. He started off by talking about the economy. Since his election, he, claims to have created 2.4 million jobs and enacted the biggest tax cut ever (false). Trump talked about immigration reform, highlighting the “four pillars” of his administration’s immigration policy. A path of citizenship for 1.8 million “dreamers”, a fully secured US border, and an immigration system that gives preference to skilled workers, and limiting immigrants joining the country because of family members. The president added that he plans to modernize and rebuilt

    The Great Depression was one of the greatest challenges that the United States faced during the twentieth century. It sidelined not only the economy of America, but also that of the entire world. The Depression was unlike anything that had been seen before. It was more prolonged and influential than any economic downturn in the history of the United States. The Depression struck fear in the government and the American people because it was so different. Calvin Coolidge even said, "In other periods of depression, it has always been possible to see some things which were solid and upon which you could base hope, but as I look about, I now see nothing to give ground to hope—nothing of man." People were scared and did not know what to do to address the looming economic crash. As a result of the Depression’s seriousness and severity, it took unconventional methods to fix the economy and get it going again. Franklin D. Roosevelt and his administration had to think outside the box to fix the economy. The administration changed the role of the government in the lives of the people, the economy, and the world. As a result of the abnormal nature of the Depression, the FDR administration had to experiment with different programs and approaches to the issue, as stated by William Lloyd Garrison when he describes the new deal as both assisting and slowing the recovery. Some of the programs, such as the FDIC and works programs, were successful; however, others like the NIRA did little to address the economic issue. Additionally, the FDR administration also created a role for the federal government in the everyday lives of the American people by providing jobs through the works program and establishing the precedent of Social Security...

    President Trump’s inaugural address was a speech many have called short, brutish, but effective. While being shorter than the average inaugural address, falling nine-hundred and two words behind President Obama’s second inaugural address, it took only those one-thousand four-hundred and thirty-three words to reach out in an attempt to unite the divided American people. Trump’s speech effectively offers a new vision of our government, by connecting to people emotionally and logically, however lacking many facts and playing more off his credibility, many people questions his point in saying “empty talk is over.”

He cannot be stating all the Mexicans because not all of them are drug dealers or killers. “I will build a great, great wall on our southern border and I will make Mexico pay for that wall,” If he wants to make a big wall so any Mexicans can enter and make them pay for it that’s just stupid Trump is the one that wants the one he should be the one paying for something he wants.

    He is going to reform the national debt problems with many different resources. Hopefully, he is going to raise taxes for the richer and leave the taxes in a moderate area for the working class. He is going to crack down big time on illegal immigration. He is going to make the processes to buy guns more thorough and make sure to focus on mental illness more, which he believes is the reason to the mass shooting and school killings, not the guns. I believe that his main voter group will be working white males, because of his views of reformation. He isn’t going to raise their taxes, they will be allowed to keep their guns, and he is promising to make illegal immigration ceases. All of these issues are targeted to working white men, which 77% of America is Caucasian and 49.2% of the population is male. If Donald trump sticks to what he has said when he is elected president, I believe he may actually make America great

    His first plan for border security was to build a wall. In most of his speeches all you would have to hear is “build a wall” and you knew what he was speaking of. He wanted to build this wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, would this be cheap? No, and he expected Mexico to pay five billion to 10 billion to build this wall. When it came to his plans for deportations, it was to deport all of the undocumented immigrants, (which was about eleven million immigrants). Not only did he want to deport all eleven million, he wanted to penalize those who stayed longer than their visa departure date. He wants to have more immigration and custom enforcement officers, triple to be exact. He also wants to require that immigration and customs enforcement to go with local police officers to gang raids. His plans for the detentions were “no more catch and release” which means he wants immigrants who are caught illegally crossing the border to be detained and deported. He also had plans for the visa’s and work permits, his plans included to raise wages paid to H-1B (“a non-immigrant visa that allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations”)- he wanted to do this so employers are motivated to offer jobs to unemployed Americans, the visa’s including the H-1B requires that employers look to hire American’s first, also to certify that immigrants who come to the U.S. are able to afford their own

    One moment he was saying, “We must protect the borders from the ravages of other countries, making our products, stealing our companies, and dissipating our jobs” and in the next paragraph he drives home the point that, “we will seek friendship with the nations of the world”. Not only is his first comment vastly exaggerated, but it is also a direct contradiction to his second quote. Trump’s inconsistency (Logical Fallacies, p.5) is evident throughout and outside of his speech. Inconsistency is a fallacy that includes directly contradicting one’s self and/or the truth. This is dangerous for a man in office because his actions and sentiments are unpredictable. Also, Trump’s assertion to make good friends with other countries has not been upkept since his inauguration. By implementing the unconstitutional “Muslim ban” Trump has angered Americans, as well as people in the 7 countries that he has

    Though he wants to build a great wall between the border of America and Mexico, he likes Mexican food! A lot of people don’t agree with the wall because it will consume a lot of money and we could put all that money into building better education systems for our young and better places to live for poverty-stricken areas, but since he is the rich businessman, I’m sure he knows what to do. He promises to relieve the tension between minorities and police, but it may be hard to do that since he’s never experienced it firsthand.
