How one year of Donald Trump's presidency has affected American politics?

Donald trump, a business magnate without any prior experience in public service or the military, is the fifth person to win the presidential election while losing the nationwide popular vote. He was considered to be one of the unlikely candidates to fight for the presidential seat, and believed to be defeated callously by the democratic candidate Hilary Clinton. He proved everyone wrong, and here we are after almost one year of his victory analyzing some key impact of his approach to Whitehouse that has changed the dynamics in administration and overall politics in America. The issues presented below shows a robust picture of now and then America.

An unlikely candidate beat experienced politician, Hillary Clinton to become the president 

An old man with blonde hair, with no aura and character unlike traditional politicians, Donald trump was never in the lifetime thought of winning the presidential campaign. Mr. Trump’s lack of coherent speech, anti Muslim thoughts, direct hit to serious issues without any hesitation was never expected to create a wave in American politics. When he gave a nomination as a republican nominee there were very less number of people who believed him to be a Republican candidate to fight with Hilary for presidential election.

Trump was without any political background fighting with the democratic candidate Hilary Clinton who served as 67th United States Secretary of State. Political analyst were advocating that the lack of political experience of Trump will be a reason for Hilary’s win, however, the stone turned to exactly opposite side. Trump won the election securing 304 electoral votes while Clinton garners 227.

This scenario clearly indicated that America was galvanized by apolitical leader like Trump who was raucous and menace in his approach to high-priority affairs, taking stand on border security to safeguard the integrity of country and counterterrorism strategy. It seemed that citizen voted for someone who understood them and reflect their thought although not being politically correct. The citizens were exhausted and irritated of electing the leader who was diplomatic in speech and doesn’t raise critical issues stalwartly and vibrantly with general public.

This wave of running for presidential campaign set by Trump, and trick to appeal citizen will be long remember by people all around the world. Thus, in futurity there is the chance that many reputed celebrity with no political background will be running for election, although there is no assurance that everyone will be as successful as Donald Trump?

     What had Trump promised before his presidency and what has been accomplished so far?

Trump had made some strong promises to his voters while running his presidential campaign. Immigration was one of the signature issue raised by president trump during his campaign, along with ending of terrorism and increasing the jobs in America. He has also promise to break a great business deal for America by using his fifty years of experience in business. We will be looking over some of the key accomplishment of Trump’s administration below:

America-first philosophy 

During his first week at white Trump he has fulfilled some of his core campaign vows, including killing the Trans-Pacific Partnership and decision on green-light two controversial pipelines. This gave a strong message to leaders all around the world that Trump will erode all those treaty that were costly to America. He then changed the way American president was viewed as a leader of the world, by his America first philosophy. His popular election slogan ‘Make America great again’ reflects its essence. He has thus threatened the allies and reduced the environment obligation to raise the economy and employment of the country. Countries can no longer be dependent on America for fulfillment of their work for Trump administration is too much focused on improving the life of his citizen only.

Social media hooligan

Many presidents all around the world uses Social media, but none does like Donald trump. He use them to criticize his own party members, to forward controversial message to leaders around the world , to flaunt his work and recently even to support some fascist Islamic group which erupted like a volcano in international scenario regarding the irresponsible take of president. Whatever the pros and cons of his approach to social media, one thing is unanimous, he is continuously in touch with the citizen with every administrative accomplishment, like his commitment during election campaign and his take on every issue clearly and vibrantly, that was what has won him an election campaign for presidency and he stick to it.

Unique negotiation strategy

The dynamics of America politics is changing as president is drafting and implementing a unique negotiation strategy to crack a great business deal for America. He once threatened company who were moving their production facility to Mexico that the import duty will be hiked to more than thirty percent if they didn’t run their production houses in America itself instead of locating it to nearby countries. He has also raised his voice strongly to review the Iran nuclear deal, and is negotiating harder to reprimand the broken deal otherwise the hint to off the deal is imminent. This indicates that many decades of his experience in the business will be beneficial to groom the economy with new strategy.

Prestitutes

Trump openly slams the news media and reporters through his public speeches and Twitter account of publishing fake news, and running a centre for prestitute. No prior president has openly done this sort of activities which some believe is disrespecting the freedom of speech. Trump is rigid in his stand that the media needs to reassemble the fact and report not to mislead Americans and world, but to aware them. The revolution in media industry is necessary and trump is playing a strong role from his side. His promise of factual based democratic evaluation is working perfectly to clarify the agenda of the administration.

Harsh immigration policy

Trump has been atrocious to the immigrant. He believes immigrant will consume jobs in America, and his philosophy is of creating jobs not losing it. He has also been extreme advocate of travel ban for in his words illegal immigrants are threat to national security and integrity. In his tweets recently, he also mentioned about removing the Diversity visa (DV) lottery rather focusing on merit based entry system. More specifically, The US Supreme Court has allowed President Donald Trump's revised travel ban to go into full effect - even as legal challenges continue in lower courts. It will block Nationals of Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen from entering the US. It also includes travelers from North Korea and certain government officials from Venezuela.

Creating jobs and employment

I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created,” Donald Trump once pledged, and he has live up to the statement. According to data released on December 8 2017 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics through the end of November, shows an increase of 2.2 million jobs since last year’s election and an unemployment rate of 4.1 percent. It also iterates that more Americans are in the work force than ever before. Over 160 million Americans are working for the first time in US history. Trump is working vigorously to establish more industry in America by reducing the red tapes and other administrative hurdles. In this aspect, Trump administration therefore has been successful to shut the mouth of many people who were accusing of trump policy towards employment.

Health care

Trump made several vague promises regarding the replacement of obamacare while running his presidential campaign. As obamacare is so comprehensive that it serves 20 million people in America, Trump couldn’t wholly replace it.  He tried to restructure it keeping the essence of obamacare. Trump signed an executive order that requires health insurer to sell affordable and cheap plan outside the marketplace. It is based upon the notion that small business need to join hands to get better rates from the insurance company. Some claim that this health insurance will only serve middle class, neglecting other groups. However, the effectiveness of this new structure of health care is yet to be assessed, and will be measured in the days to come. As for now, the extract is trump seems to have failed in keeping his promise of replacing obamacare fully.

The point is Donald trump is giving all his effort to keep all promises by defining him a unique leader in the history of America. Right from slamming journalist in social media to accusing world leader for their misdeed, he is everywhere. He has become a new internet sensation since he joined oval office, and American politics and the worldview of America in eye of other countries has changed to some positive and negative way by the demeanor and trump’s style of handling issue. The overall success of Trump administration, however, will be determined by further activities Trump will consider to make America Great again, the popular slogan of his entire presidential campaign. Until then, we will just wait and watch.
