Donald Trump Personality Traits

Donald J. Trump Being the president of the United States is a very critical job. Even though any American citizen can run for presidency, the candidate has to win people’s votes with their traits. Important traits all great presidents need, include: a professional appearance, trustworthiness, and be goal and achievement oriented. Donald Trump proves to be a likeable candidate because he possesses two of these traits: a professional appearance and goal and achievement oriented. As a child, Trump was full of energy and assertive. At the young age of 13, Trump was sent to the New York Military Academy by his parents, hoping to channel his energy in a positive manner. Overall, he did very well both socially and academically during his time …show more content…
His main claim as president could easily just be on his businesses instead of America. Hillary Clinton stated in the first Presidential Debate, “Sometimes there’s not a direct transfer of skills from business to government, but sometimes what happened in business would be really bad for government.” (Clinton) Trump could be treating our country as just another one of his businesses. Running high-end businesses is not at all the same as running an entire country. Trump’s business mindset can take a wrong turn for America. This leads to the subject of trust. Can we trust a businessman with our …show more content…
He is always focused on his appearance, bringing the most attention to his hair or his orange skin. People all around think his hair is fake, or in other words, a toupee, but in reality it’s just his real hair. Trump is literally obsessed with his appearance; he even went as far as saying he sees a thirty-five year old when looking in the mirror. (Trump on Dr.Oz) He also stated in an interview with NBC, “Well, I just don’t think she has the presidential look, (referring to Hillary Clinton) and you need a presidential look.”

    Many have argued Trumps leadership style, as he is mostly known as a reality TV star, and business mogul, yet many agree with his take on foreign/domestic policies. In order to help the economy, he has proposed to renegotiate foreign trade, making them more favorable for our country, and a 45% tariff on goods from China. His stance on immigration can be easily defined by the word “wall”; Trump proposes that a wall along the US-Mexico border paid for by Mexico, and banishment of Muslims from certain countries will render us of our terroristic problems. His stance on climate change is nonexistent since he does not believe it is a critical problem, if anything he would cancel the Paris climate deal, and rather support construction for a new oil pipeline to Canada. Our national security is one issue he carries near and dear to his heart, he opposes the ban on assault rifles, and has proposed that the right to carry a concealed weapon should apply to every state, as it is one of our rights.…

    He has claimed that Hispanics are rapists, Muslims being terrorist, and women being pigs. The hatred and disrespectful attitude that Trump has isn’t fit for president. Recently at one of his rallies, he bashed at one of his own supporters simply because her baby began to cry.

    So the question must be asked; do we really want this man as our next Commander in Chief? As far as eligibility, Donald Trump meets all requirements for a presidential candidate, but many people find his actions unpresidential. This is mostly related to the crude things he has been known to see over the past couple of months. For example, speaking one day in Iowa, Donald Trump said, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose voters,” (Source 5). Donald Trump was looked down upon for this comment and definitely not the over-confidence that should be found in a President.…

    Donald Trump is known to be a very well-known businessman and if he can run many businesses and a half great monetary value then why can't he run office? A person that can handle this amount of business and has the credibility of being a person that can create these type of businesses should be able to handle being president and commander-in-chief .Donald Trump is not the right person to be elected president of the United States, because he is very unpredictable and lacks political experience. Just because a person owns businesses or has a hotel that does not mean that they are able to handle the lives of millions of people in the United States. It takes more than being rich and wealthy to be the president of the United States it takes compassion and critical thinking these are two things that Donald Trump lacks.…
