What effect will the 2016 US Presidential Election have on the global economy? Will establishment favourite Clinton triumph and restore normalcy to the traditionally trade liberal country? Or will protectionist Trump take control and implement never-before-attempted reforms? Marshall Nickle suggests that Elections have a drastic negative effect on economic growth as a large proportion of worsening happens in the first three quarters of presidencies. With the current uncertainty, many economists expect things to be rough for the next leader of the world’s largest economy. Even in the months leading up in 2016, the US Dollar has seen a depreciation of up to 10% against seemingly weak Asian currencies such as the Japanese Yen and Malaysian Ringgit. …show more content…

Talks of extreme protectionist measures which go against the American-led ideal of free trade has stroked fear into businesspeople and investors worldwide. On the one hand, Republican candidates talk about dramatically loosening fiscal policy. Trump has argued that he will be able to lower taxes (which is estimated to cost $12 trillion) while eradicating the country’s national debt of $18 trillion within 8 years of presidency. Even among other candidates, Cruz proposes a Simple Flat Tax in which the current elaborate seven-tier plan will collapse into a single 10% bracket. Understandably, the people of the USA and the world are worried about how all these absurd policies will be funded. Statements have already faced backlash by world leaders, such as the Mexico President speaking out against paying for a wall at the US-Mexico

After nearly fifty days in the White House, President Trump has done an excellent job. On his second day in office he vowed to destroy the Islamic State, and on his ninth day he fulfilled his promise of a 5 year-ban on officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government, and a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government, which was a promise kept. (foxnews.com) My favorite quote by my President Trump is “My policy is to learn from the past, focus on the present, and dream about the future. " I think that this quote describes him perfectly as a president.

The strength of the international system, nonetheless, shouldn’t discourage the US from solving the problem of trade deficits. I argue that although the Trump administration is right in recognizing an issue with our trade deficits, blatant antagonism, as Krugman notes, is not the way to go about solving it. In the international arena, every action warrants a response and Trump’s rhetoric has encouraged China and the European Union to plan for a world without the

Trumps biggest policy change from GOP norms is his plan of building a wall across the southern border of the United States to further reduce illegal immigrations.

For far too long, U.S. foreign policy has been held hostage by the interests of the foreign policy establishment and the military industrial complex. Democrats must initiate a systematic reform of bureaucracy at every level in order to effect positive change in the relationship between elected leaders and those who carry out policy. Democrats must support continued American leadership in nuclear proliferation and arms control, but must fulfill these aims working within international systems. As an essential component of American values, properly managed free trade fulfills the Wilsonian tradition held dear by the electorate. However, a strong American economy is fundamental to national security and Democrats must continuously work to shape a trade policy that both protects American interests and supports global development.

I agree with you, that politician can do much better for the society and fighting against the discrimination and prejudice against a particular group of people. However, politicians have seen more power centered and always seeking a way to getting into the power rather than working and speaking honestly in front of people. Looking at the U.S. presidential campaign 2016, all of these candidates have been talking about different policy issues; however, the U.S. institutions are so strong and president alone might not be able to make huge difference in policy issues. On the other hand, these candidates does not have strong record for fighting in many issues in the past. That’s why, I believe that politicians are very familiar to politicization

The 2012 presidential campaign was a very rocky campaign for the candidates of both parties all the way up to Election Day. In particular Mitt Romney’s campaign was filled with many gaffes that had a huge impact on his campaign which at some points ended alienating the members of his own party.

Long and Short-Term Effects of the 1992 Election on American Social, Political, and Economic Livelihoods The 1992 election was a significant piece of American history. For the first time in decades a third party candidate was able to capture significant momentum towards capturing the electorate in the form of Ross Perot. Campaigning strategies unseen since Roosevelt by Democrat Bill Clinton re-captured the complex New Deal Coalition. Finally, the election was even coined “Year of the Woman” by many due to the massive uptick in women running for congress in a new feminist movement. The 1992 election was significant because it led to radical change within the electorate and promoted new directions for the United States politically.

One well-known humanist who increased the popularity of humanism is Francesco Petrarch (1304-1374). Petrarch showed his expertise in poetry, humanism, and scholarship and had a deep understanding of what ancient Latin and Greek literature had been in antiquity. He was interested in making literature the greatest intellectual activity and made poetry his sole profession. For example, Petrarch “took words, methods of sentence structure, figures of speech, and stories from the Latin classics and gave them a new European life.” (Sautter 19)

In my paper, I will analyse Donald Trump’s political activities before and after the election to get an objective viewpoint of America’s President. We’ll start off with the history of Trump, both personal and political, to see whether there was some sort of significant development over the years indicating a tendency towards ‘good or evil’. Next, we will take a look at what Donald Trump promised to do – the wall, lowering taxes and repealing Obamacare to name a few – and evaluate if he managed to keep his election pledges. This success rate is a major factor in definitively assessing Trump’s influence on America.
