Would Donald Trump Make a Good President?

There has been a lot of controversy over Donald Trump running for president as the Republican candidate. Many people don’t agree with his values, yet he continues to climb the polls.

Trump has given some very opinionated ideas about what should happen to America, including bashing Mexicans as well as illegal immigration.

When he announced his presidential run, he said, “when Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best… They’re sending people who have lots of problems… they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists.”

This caused a lot of anger over social media and is not what we should make America into because we are the land of the free. Trump also came up with an immigration reform, with three main principles: build a border between America and Mexico, laws must be passed to correspond, and Americans must be put before immigrants in the work force and everywhere else.

Trump could also improve his position on the Second Amendment, which is the right to bear arms. Unfortunately, more school shootings (as well as other places), are becoming more and more common. He has opposed additional background checks that could make sure that weapons aren’t being put into the hands of the wrong people.

Trump is leading in the polls for the southern states, which have more of a Republican population. The main question to consider is whether or not border control should be the top priority in America, or is there improvement elsewhere that needs to be made first?

I don’t agree with most of his ideas, and some of them are irradical and out of reach. But considering I can’t vote yet, I can’t be one to make a difference in the polls. However if I was 18 by next November, I would vote for anybody besides The Donald!
