First Election

Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States
Millions of new Republicans had trusted their vote with Mr. Trump as he committed to deliver prosperity through a reformed tax code, for an improved regulatory environment and better trade deals. Trump’s supporters rallied behind him entrusting his commitment of rebuilding their country and disrupting the political status quo that had failed to deliver results for the citizens.
While he is committed to deliver beneficial results for America on each day he serves in the office as their President, the question is, has Trump served the country during his presidency in a way a righteous leader would have?

- Many of Trump’s comments and actions have been characterized as racially charged or racist.

- When Trump said he would like to punch him in the face at a protester that was being ejected from a rally in Las Vegas.
- When Trump was interviewed on Fox & Friends where he blamed former president Obama both for the protests and for the leaks in his administration. Although, there has been no evidence linking these claims to Obama, Trump claimed that Obama was behind the protests “because his people certainly are behind it.”
- Trump launched airstrikes against Syria, without a vote in Congress.

- The tweet of Trump that was flagged for ‘glorifying violence’ by tweeter when trump tweeted saying “These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!”
- Trump being accused of sexual assault and harassment by dozens of women.
- When police and National Guard troops used tear gas and other riot control tactics to forcefully clear peaceful protesters to create a path for Trump to walk from the White House to St. John’s Episcopal Church only for him to take a picture with the bible in front of the church and to leave after five minutes of arrival without entering the church.
- His response as “It’s a Bible.”, when a reporter asked if it was his Bible that he was holding at the St. John’s Episcopal Church.
- When he delivered a speech urging the the governors of U.S. states to quell violent protests by using the National Guard to “dominate the streets”, or he would otherwise “deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem”

REELECTION IN NOVEMBER 2020
Despite the ongoing protests for George Floyd and for black lives matter, Trump announced that his campaign for re-election could begin “next week” while dismissing calls for local authorities to “de-fund the police” and redistribute resources towards social services in the wake of Floyd’s killing.
Trump began his reelection campaign unusually early for an incumbent president amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
In a new CNN/SSRS poll, it showed that Trump is at 38%. The CNN poll also finds that 60% of Biden’s voters are most motivated by voting against the President. Apart from the polls, the surveys have also showed that Democrat Joe Biden is on a big lead compared to Trump. If Trump is rooting to win this election he has got a lot of work to do and not much time to do it.
Will Trump win the reelection held on November 2020? Is he worth of being the president of the United States?
While the questions remain unanswered, many of the American citizens have already made up their mind on why and who to vote. The whole world is eager to know the results for the reelection of the United States President on November 2020.
