In a New York Time’s article, Donald Trump states “If I become president, I couldn’t care less about my company.” Trump made this statement in an attempt to convince voters that he will be commited to the office. he is trying to buil an ethos that has been systematically destroyed over these months, back up. Voters are questioninig whether he will actually be willing to step away from a decades worth of work that has given him billions in revenue, over a position that only may last 4 years? or is he trying to sway us into his corner and make us believe that his promise is true.

His ethos also tells us the opposite; and that from his previous businesses that have fallen, he has just kicked them to the curb and started up new projects. The problem with making the transition from businessman to president is that you cannot treat the Unites States like a business and if we begin to fail, drop us.

This second site, on Forbes, talks about all of his business failures and how Trump seems too just wither away from them when he seems that they are not fit to run anymore. This whole business aspect is ruining his ethos as a strong man who is supposed to be running our country. A Washington Post article also claimed that Trump hasn’t paid for a dime for campaigns. Stating “A Washington Post investigation revealed that none of the $102 million was Trump’s money – and the paper could only confirm one cash donation made by Trump between 2008 and May 2016 after contacting over 400 charities. Trump’s foundation also reportedly paid for obligations owed by his businesses, even though Trump has not kicked in a cent to his namesake nonprofit since 2008.”

At a time where there is no clear-cut favorite for a president, Donald Trump is showing us potential voters that he is not trustworthy; and that, sure he’s a billionaire but has not used any of his money for the purpose to run the country.

 

Since the beginning of the Trump-Clinton debate era, Donald Trump has taken advantage advantage of Junkyard Dog journalism in the media outlets. This type of journalism involves no-holds-bar attacking of an opponent to make sure that the world knows what is going on with them. This style of journalism is aggressive and has no line between what is public and private life. Especially with Clinton’s email deleting scandal. Trump has used this to keep the email scandal in the forefront of the conversation. Trump has crafted his argument in a way that uses logos because he is painting Clinton as a liar and an untrustworthy candidate.This argument also appeals to the pathos of voters because he is inciting fear into the populous.

These new allegations about his email scandal destroy his argument against Hillary, while simultaneously destroying his ethos as a trustworthy successful CEO. It’s ironic that after all the emphasis that he has put on Clinton’s email scandal that now, he has his own.

In the past, people have tried to hurt his ethos; such as the Trump U scandal, where the widow of an army vet was scammed. Taking the pension that was given to her from the US military and investing it into Trump University and getting nothing out of the program.

That as a business man has hurt his ethos. And the fact that he is targeting White, Christian voters, lying is a sin and in their eyes, he is no better than Hillary.

With the election being less than a few weeks away, hopefully Donals Trump can find himself another October surprise against Clinton the way that this one just hit him; if Trump has any thoughts on winning this iconic election.

 

 

 

Donald J. Trump has been a multi-billionaire for some time now. Forbes has Trump making approximately 3.7 billon dollars. That is a lot of money and a lot of business decisions. It seems like he knows what he is doing, and what he plans on doing if he gets ahold of our nations

economy. From 1975 onward, Trump has been a very credible man and has been garnering a lot of ethos. In his first debate, he said

“my father gave me a very small loan in 1975, and I built it into a                 company that’s worth many, many billions of dollars, with some of             the greatest assets in the world, and I say that only because that’s               the kind of thinking that our country needs.”

He believes that he has what it takes to bring this country back up to where it belongs, and a lot of Americans are backing him up.

Pathos also plays a big role in his first debate speech on CNN,  he states that he received a small loan from his father prior to investing in all his riches, so you could actually say that before all of the fame, Trump was dead broke. He gives the audience the rags to riches effect, in the sense that when he started building his dynasty, he had nothing. The “small” loan his father gave him was 1 million dollars but when you look at it, 1 million dollars is nothing compared to 4 billion. He literally made a dollar out of 15 cents.

His endurance and perseverance and drive shows that he has the tools and the necessary steps that it will take to get our country up and running like it should. Latest polls show that Trump is only trailing Clinton by 5 points (Business Insider) ; Last week he was trailing by double digits. It shows that more and more people are hopping on the Trump Train.

Donald Trump’s number one selling point is that he is a CEO and has credibility with his businesses. NBC NEWS states that as a whole, Trump’s businesses are down a whopping 16 percent. The decline is coming from a decline of 7 percent in July of 2016. At this rate, it i gradually climbing. His ethos as a businessman is being diminished. Republicans have vowed to look past his flaws and vote for him instead, but are now losing faith him him because he is not “bringing his potluck dish to the party”.

CNN wrote a story about Trump and his Trump University. The story was about a woman who had recently lost her husband to the war on Iraq. it talked about how she wanted to start over and how she used $35,000 that she received from her husband’s death and invested it into Trump University and got nothing out of the program. After Cheryl Lankford look thoroughly through the curriculum she noticed that it was just a scam.

 

After sharing this story, i have lost faith in Donald Trump and begin to understand why many more people, including his supporters/voters are also losing faith. He is doing a horrible job carrying out what he has promised us Americans.

With that in mind RealClearPolitics, who is an unbiased organization has taken daily polls on this election and it seems as though Clinton is the frontrunner in this election. NBC NEWS also stated that Clinton has a clear-cut 11 point lead over Trump. RealClearPolitics says that with that kind of lead, she has an 86% chance three weeks prior to the start of election day.

 

 

Donald Trump, republican nominee and business man, has gotten himself into more financial problems. On Monday, October 10^th, 2016 the Taj Mahal Casino closed its’ door to the gambling hall for the last time. This property was built and ran by Donald Trump; however, he was not quite successful in keeping this establishment in good financial standing. Donald Trump has brought this casino through four bankruptcies and still cannot manage to keep this casino up and running. On top of letting this casino go he has no explanation and just simply stated, “There is no reason for this.” If something were to go wrong while being in office (hypothetically speaking) there needs to be a reason and a plan.

This is just yet another example to show that Donald Trump is not as  fit to run for President of the United States because he cannot keep up with one establishment, how do we expect him to keep a whole nation out of financial trouble? and considering that the Taj Mahal Casino and Hotel was dubbed the “Eighth Wonder of the World” Although there has been five other casino closed along the boardwalk in Atlantic City in the past couple of years, one of the wealthiest men should be able to capitalize on that and bring more jobs rather than take them away.

 

One of Donald Trump’s major points in this race to presidency is all the jobs he is going to create for America. Yet, the same person also put 11,000 people out of a job by closing the doors to this casino. A major point to question the truth in his word to the United States of America.
