How Donald Trump got elected as the President of U.S.A




How did Donald Trump get elected as the President of America?


As many people already know, Trump wasn't elected gently like the former presidents did, but rather had a pretty tough one. Everyone was talking about how if Trump does actually become the next President of America, that not only America but also the entire world will fall apart; and thus there were many protests against Donald Trump. However, the result was a rather shocking appointing of Donald Trump to the position of the President of America.


Some already knew that Trump will be elected, and the reasoning behind such belief was in the violent and unconventional sayings that actually was thought to lose the support of American citizens.


Today, tens of thousands of people create YouTube accounts and upload their videos, and everyone packs videos with 'click-baiting' thumbnails to increase the number of views which actually does works.

Trump certainly calculated what he said and intentionally did this to feed the media and to the people to loves this kind of viral contents. In fact, while Trump has been searched 2.2 billion times on Google, Hillary has only been searched 1.4 billion times(Arruda, W. (2016, August 08). Donald Trump Vs. Hillary Clinton -- The Social Media Report; The Forbes). 


The biggest factor that worked was the desire to find and improve the itchy parts of America. While the United States is a country of immigrants, it is suffering from illegal immigrants flooding in from various countries. Taxes are poured into attempts of alleviating such issue only to increase the national debt, and jobs are replaced by cheaper illegal immigrants making Americans to lose their jobs. However, where is this, this is America, the Earth's center and the leading front of peace and culture, it can't just kick the illegal immigrants out. But, here comes Donald Trump, with the symbolic slogan of "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" remembered by today's 50s and 60s, followed by unprecedented promise of building a wall with Mexico, where the majority of illegal immigrants are from, was more than enough to lure not only the conservative southern part of the United States but also the Republican North.

In conclusion, Trump actively used noise marketing to expose himself to as many people as possible and gained support from many people as he could by promising what Americans actually want, eventually leading to a shocking result of him being the President of America.
