Although many people were shocked with the results of the 2016 Presidential Election, there are certain aspects about Trump that made him more appealing to the public eye than Clinton. After speaking with some Trump supporters and getting a sense of their insight on the election, I've recorded several qualities about Trump that appeals to the public. These distinctive qualities about Trump makes him a more compelling candidate than Hillary, and thus, serves as part of the reason for his victory. Let's explore the five reasons Trump is more favorable then Clinton.


1. Trump's Entertaining Personality

Though not everyone may agree, Trump has the tendency to entertain the general public wherever he goes. For instance, when Trump was a guest on the Wendy Williams show on October 28th, 2016, he told the camera that he has "sex" in common with his daughter. To many, this may come off as immature or inappropriate. However, others may find the unpredictability of his comments funny and entertaining. To many Americans, he is not only a politician but a person who stands out because of his personality.

2. Trump is perceived as a Fearless Speaker.

As we may know, President Donald Trump has no filter when it comes to expressing his thoughts, views, and strategies for America. Although his comments come off as rude, obnoxious and offensive, many admire his frankness and see it as a sign of bravery. That leads me to my next point.

3. Trump is Politically Incorrect.

Relatively enough, Trump is rarely ever politically correct nor give a hoot about it anyway. During all three of the presidential debates, Trump conducted his arguments by using a relatively fair level of vocabulary, making it easy for us to understand his points. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, had done the exact opposite. In her speeches and debates, she uses sophisticated language, which makes her seem robotic, dull, and unlikable to the public eye. For instance, in one of the debates, Clinton used the phrase "Trickle Down Trump", rather than saying exactly what she means, whereas Trump's speeches are more linear and straightforward. These variations make Trump more attractive to the general public.

4. Trump's Enthusiastic Public Speaking.

Whenever Trump brings up his views to the public, he changes his tone often. Sometimes he goes from talking low, to speaking loudly. The variation in his tone makes him seem passionate and self-expressive. For example, when Trump says, "Let's make America great again!", with his enthusiasm, he becomes more credible and convincing than Hillary, who may have said a more descriptive slogan but with a lack of enthusiasm. As much as we tend to overlook these minor details, good public speaking skills involve a passionate voice, as well as corresponding hand/body gestures. Mastering these skills will make a crucial difference when persuading an audience, aside from just your political contributions and reputation in society.

5. Trump's Adequate Marketing Skills.

Aside from being an entertainer and a good public speaker, Trump is also a businessman. Likewise, he won the U.S. Economy mainly because he sold himself more compellingly than Clinton. By better selling himself and knowing how to manage his finances, Trump was able to raise a sufficient amount of money to run a successful campaign. Many people believe that Trump's financing mechanisms will enable him to pull up the current U.S. economy and steer clear from future recessions.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
