In Texas, Trump Signals a plan for victory
In this article written in the Texas Observer, Patrick Michels gives his
opinion on Trumps visit to Austin. He states how everything that he is saying
is not supported, and questions the fact that Trump came to Texas (knowing it
is prominently Republican and knowing that he will probably win) to try to get
votes. He states in the article that “His [Trumps] campaign
is a joke.” The author of this article is tackling mainly the way that Trump is
starting to present himself and the way that people start viewing Trump. As quoted
in the article “…asking why Trump does something is like asking why a bird
flies into a window or a frat bro shoots fireworks out of his ass. Coming to Austin, like just about
everything he’s done, doesn’t make sense.” For the most part it is true. He tends
to talk so much about immigration and fixing our job situation in America, but
he has done nothing to prove that he is actually making a change in the way
that our government is currently being presented. I agree with
everything that is being said in this article, because as president, Trump does
not have what he needs to make these changes to the United States. One of the
main examples is the wall that he intends to build and having Mexico pay for it.
“A significant portion of his base truly believes he
has the power to bring factories back from China, make coal mines roar back to
life, and kick out the Mexicans.” These are the things that he says he
wants to do, but he doesn’t say how he is working on how to fix these ‘problems’
that he sees in our society. Yes, he has talked so much about the wall, but how
is that going to change from the immigration that is caused by Chinese,
Africans, French, Indians, and many more. The only thing that he is getting out
of the wall is nothing. The one thing that we tend to not realize and tend to
oversee is the fact that he loves to talk about the things that make our
society so screwed up, but no real effort is seen to change it
