               My clips show Donald Trump locked in heated debate with Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz, two of his most successful opponents in the early parts of the election process. First I want to discuss his debate with Jeb Bush, ( the clip above) it begins with the discussion of campaign funds and how much influence donators have on a politicians campaign. Trump clearly says that Bush has accepted 100 million in donations and Bush accepts that number yet says it in no way influences him in one way or another.   To start Trump really makes a great point he says he has been on the other side of that for many years. Bush tries to make arguments about how Trump has donated to Hillary and a few other democrats in the past but the sheer fact is it doesn’t matter who he donated to, all that matters is that he donated.

Donald J. Trump is the richest president the United States has ever had. That accolade itself is one of his biggest strengths he is successful and at something other than politics, which is a refreshing choice for the average american fed up with the political system. On top of being a successful businessman he is relatable. Throughout his campaign the endless amount of revenue and his ability to make the common American feel like they had a voice is the main reason he sits in the oval office today. However, with great strengths usually comes great weakness. Trump can be narcissistic in nature, rude, insulting, disrespectful, and has never held a political office before. Due to his strengths his opportunities are endless. He funded most of his own campaign himself and was able to travel anywhere in the country on his private jet or helicopter to further his campaign. With all of the wealth and opportunity though Trump has some threats to his campaign as well. One he doesn’t know w...
