1. Donald J. Trump (1st Term)

January 20,
2017 to January 20, 2021

2. Core Message and Slogan

• Slogan: "Make America Great Again" (MAGA). This implied that America had declined and
needed radical change to restore its former strength and prosperity.
• Style: Trump used rallies, social media, and direct, often provocative language, positioning
himself as an outsider fighting the corrupt political elite ("the swamp").
Key Promises
Immigration and Border Security:
1. Build a Wall: The most famous promise was to build a large wall on the U.S.Mexico border and insist that Mexico pay for it.
2. Deportation: Mass deportation of undocumented immigrants
3. Travel Ban: Implement a temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S. (later
modified to a ban on travel from several specific countries).

3. The most crucial and fundamental disagreements with Hillary Clinton

Jobs and Trade
Trump - "America First." Stop bad trade deals (like NAFTA) because they send American jobs to other countries.
Hillary - Trade is good, but we must make it fair. We need to create jobs by investing in new things like clean energy.
Immigration
Trump - Build a big wall on the border with Mexico. Send many people who are here illegally back to their countries.
Hillary - We need a better plan for immigrants. We should help people who are already here legally become citizens.
Healthcare
Trump - Cancel Obamacare (ACA) because it is too expensive and bad.
Hillary - Keep Obamacare (ACA) and make it better so more people have health insurance.
Other Countries
Trump - America should not always help other countries (like NATO partners). They must pay more.
Hillary - |America must work with its friends (allies) to keep the world safe.

4. Donald Trump’s first presidency (2017–2021) had four major, lasting effects on the United States:

• 1. Political Division and Norms - Deep Polarization: His aggressive rhetoric and use of social media
significantly deepened the political and cultural divide in the U.S.
• 2. Foreign Policy Shift ("America First") - Isolationism: He moved the U.S. away from global cooperation
and toward an "America First" policy.
• 3. Economic Policy - Tax Cuts: He signed the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which dramatically lowered
corporate taxes.
In conclusion, Trump’s presidency was defined by a massive shift in the judiciary, a retreat from global
agreements, and a profound increase in political conflict at home.
