How Donald Trump will “Make America Great Again”
The GOP Debates gave viewers insight on Donald Trump's stance on various issues.
October 8, 2015
For a moment, time froze and GOP front-runner Donald Trump was able to catch the twinkle in his fellow Republican candidate’s eyes, realizing he had been wrong all along: perhaps Carly Fiorina was beautiful enough to be the next president of the United States.
During the GOP debates on September 16, 2015, America was charmed by the sincerity with which Trump humbly complimented his competition, Fiorina, telling America that Fiorina has “got a beautiful face.”
“Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!” Trump said to The Rolling Stone a week earlier. “I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not s’posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?”
Despite this misogynistic quote, the voters of America know that Trump was honest in his calling Fiorina beautiful. Due to his carefree reputation of being politically incorrect, and simply calling things how he sees them, whatever he says must be true! For this reason, it was also easy to believe Trump when he said that he “will take care of women” due to the “respect” he holds for us. It is through this respect and concern for women that Trump will keep his promise of “Making America Great Again.”
Although Trump’s fellow Republican presidential candidates and American citizens alike have questioned his knowledge on foreign policy, the Fourteenth Amendment, and the correlation between vaccinations and autism, one thing that viewers know Trump is certain of is that issues regarding women’s health will be at the top of his “to-do” list.
With immigration being Trump’s only strong stance, he is very passionate about it. Among the issues associated with the immigration reform is whether or not those born in the United States should be considered a legal citizens.
The Fourteenth Amendment clearly states that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States” are citizens.
“We’re some of the only people dumb enough — stupid enough, to have it” said Trump in reference to the Fourteenth Amendment.
Believing that only the babies of American citizens should be given a citizenship, it slips Trump’s mind that the United States was built on European immigrants who colonized the Western hemisphere, pushing out Native Americans. I wonder if the first Americans had to take a citizenship test before forcing Indians to the West.
To the advantage of undocumented Americans, “the good ones” and the “great ones” may be able to come back after being torn from their families. There is no doubt that Trump will grant citizenship to “good” Hispanics due to his great past with them. For example, after calling Mexicans rapists and drug dealers, he said that he assumes “some are good people.”
In addition, after Jeb Bush responded in Spanish to a reporter who had asked him a question in Spanish, Trump pointed out that the United States needs assimilation because, “this is a country where we speak English, not Spanish.” Despite the United States having no official language, this Republican candidate understands that, sometimes, respect is overrated.
With enthusiasm to make America great again, Trump will surely make something different of this country.

I laughed out loud at the term ‘undocumented American’; your invention? First it was illegal alien, then illegal immigrant, then undocumented immigrant, and now ‘undocumented American’? Give me a break. This kind of political correctness is the reason why Donald Trump is winning over much of the electorate. People are tired of political correctness, the Washington establishment, and America’s weakness. They want someone who isn’t beholden to wealthy donors, special interests, and lobbyists. Someone who can blow up the system and enact real, positive change for this country. That is why Trump is doing so well, and that is why he will most likely win the Republican nomination.
