As I turn on the TV I see Trump, I check twitter and I see Trump, I look at Facebook, more Trump.  Seems I cannot escape the man's campaign.  Trump has been the talk of the nation ever since he threw his hat into the ring.  Previous year he has somewhat jokingly said he would run for president but this year he has stuck to his word and joined politics of America.  Trump's first months have been radical with his outrageous plans for America.  Such plans include building a great wall to keep out illegal aliens and putting wristbands on Muslims to identify them.  I have seen newscasters discuss him and how he has gained so much support for these ideas.  I can't believe that such a man could gain that great amount of support for it.  This man could possibly be my next president and I have a say in it, for this election will be the first presidential election I can vote in.   I am the generation that could give a new look on the presidential election.   Being a moderate conservative, and a young mind, I want to know why the nation has shown that Trump is one of the favorable candidates.  

Frist source is an article by Jeff Guo, "The real reasons Donald Trump's so popular for people totally confused by it", Guo's article gives examples on Trump's popularity.  Guo's examples are that Trump has simple answers for every problem.  For example, building a wall when you don't like immigrants or if people support the police make it a death penalty for killing one.  If these were said by any other candidate it be political suicide, but the way Trump gets idea across makes them sound right. ""People like the idea that deep down, the world is simple; that they can grasp it and that politicians can't," John Hibbing, a psychologist at the University of Nebraska". (Guo)  Another example is Trump says stuff that others are afraid to say.  He says what he wants and doesn't receive backlash like most other candidates would.  He has this charisma that entices whoever is watching.  Guo says that he may have learned this charisma from his reality TV show that kept the viewers from changing the channel.

My second source is from the telegraph a United Kingdom's news website. Ruth Sherlock, a United States editor of the website, wrote the article "Why is Donald Trump so popular".  She states that Trump is popular because of his assertion on the topics that most candidates sweep under the rug.  She covers Trump's plan for illegal immigrants and the type of people who support him.  Ruth tells that Trump's support comes from Republicans and people of the middle working class.  She also adds that Trump's outrageous bigotry brings in a tons of support and through his campaign he has gotten more and more offensive and racist.  His support just loves the acquisitions on Black lives matter protest are disgusting, Mexicans are rapists, and that Muslims should be banned from entering the country.  Supporters say that he is the voice that speaks up for America.

The third resource comes from npr.org written by Danielle Kurtzleben entitled "Surprised About Donald Trump's Popularity? You Shouldn't Be".  Kurtzleben explains how Trump's plan for Muslims is liked and agreed with most GOP, American citizens, and few democrats.  There is a war with Islam against American values and the American people are frightened by Muslims and Trump has taken a stand against them.  People are standing with Trump on the issue along with Trump being an outsider has brought in support of citizens who have lost trust in typical politicians.  Being a businessman and a billionaire and including he is a celebrity has gained him an extreme amount of followers for his campaign.

After reading my three informing sources I have come to an understanding of why the people of the United States of America love Trump so much.  He speaks the truth when no one will; he doesn't take no for an answer. He is the top dog of the candidacy.  I need more interesting resources to support on why Trump would not be a good president or how the way his campaign is going will be his downfall.  Some sources on how Trump could be the worst president to ever be elected.  I now feel that Trump has a strong support group that could raise his popularity to bring him to the White House.
