As Obama's time in the White House is coming to end in the upcoming year, in the news lately there has been much buzz about who will run against him. The media is grabbing a hold of any information they can get and throwing random names out there that are supposedly going to be on the ballot in 2012. One of those very random names would be Donald Trump. Sound familiar? Well of course, he is the multi-billionaire who fires people every week on his famous reality TV show The Apprentice. Not someone you'd peg to be the next president, but we didn't think Arnold would ever be governor either. Unfortunately for the Donald there are many are worried that he is serious about running in the next presidential election. As the author stated in the article, it would not only seem ridiculous for him to be our next president but he could also harm the Republican party. Trump apparently is hoping to get the GOP nomination, but if not, will run as an independent. He is white, rich, and conservative, which will cause many right-wingers to vote for him and this will without a doubt split the Republican vote. Meaning that the Democrat nominee (most likely Obama) will win and were back where we were 4 years ago. This really could be a problem and throw off the next election, all because some millionaire thinks he can be president too. And as the author points out, the scary thing is, because of his fortune Trump might actually have the money to fund a full on campaign.
Who: Donald Trump, billionaire and potential presidential nominee for 2012.
What: Trump is considering running as an independent in the next election.
When: Sometime next year, in the upcoming months.
Where: The United States?
Why: The author of the article is worried about Donald Trump running for president for a multitude of reasons.
After reading this article and careful consideration I came to the conclusion that it is journalism. Some may argue that the author was to bias in his presentation of ideas, but this specific article was meant to be an editorial. It was found in the editorial section, therefore allowing the author to freely state their opinion and how he truly felt. Even though it was his opinion the author managed to still include outside sources and facts to back the things he was saying. So, it wasn't just a blatant rant, but a well though out article, making this piece journalism.
CBT - Growth - Social Science
Growth is an important CBT that relates to our country and how we can become better and grow as citizens. Who is our president is a big factor to how fast our countries grows in economic, social, and foreign areas. I have a feeling if Donald Trump become our next president this country would be in a whole world of hurt, for I fear he would have no clue what he is doing.
