Tanner Smith presents a view on Trump

In the first commercial ad (above) I looked at, Trumps message was delivered in a very positive light. It was just that a message, about how Trump plans to bring jobs back to the U.S. and of course how that will Make America Great Again. His opponent or opponents are never mentioned in this ad which is interesting, many ads tend to at least take a little jab at the opponent but this one never mentions anyone but Trump and the American worker making it a candidate-positive ad with little to no controversy something Trump is not known for. This ad helps to boost the Trump image and take focus off of possibly controversial topics of the moment. The Super PAC Rebuilding America Now, however, paid for this ad, so it does not reflect the campaigns direct strategies. Now lets take a look at an ad actually created by the Trump Campaign team (above). This ad shows Hillary Clinton referring to Trump supporters as Deplorable people.

Obama used social media in his presidency especially towards the end but with the 2016 election social media use for presidential candidates took a huge turn. Donald Trump was a revolutionary so to speak when it came to social media use. He has two twitter accounts and is the fir...

First off many of Trumps supporters were white voters without a college degree, there is nothing wrong with that except the fact that many of them may not have been reached or calculated well in the polls. I know some people in my hometown that don’t even own a phone. Another could have been his racial and gender comments during the election. If polls were taken recently after one of his “slip of the lips” then I would expect his numbers to take a significant hit. Last and not least there is always, whether we admit it or not, scorer bias. Many people didn’t want it to even be a realistic possibility that Trump could be our president, well I bet they aren’t laughing now.             The first thing I think the polls got right about Trum...
