Hate Crimes Rising
It’s surprising to say that Donal Trump truly is making history, from passing and removing new laws and freedom of expression to controversies. With Trump being our president of the United States many Americans are sane with the idea of expression towards racism, causing racism normal in America. Many races jokes and conversation among the president have been made acceptable through the media, exposing exclusive feedback from political parties.
A political party starts in a home, your parents or older brother can teach the youngest or less educated peer or sibling about a “party” in which one individual strongly believes. The growth of that political party slowly starts to develop within years. And one starts to believe their view and creates a born lifestyle within. Referring back to what my colleague talked about on her blog, https://yazminal.blogspot.com/ about younger students representing a political view that was embedded from their parents or relatives. Being strongly bias towards a particular group who is not under ones general standard can have many pros and cons. You can simply learn and teach or choose to express their strong beliefs towards the universe with intentions of hurting feelings.
Expressing your beliefs by wearing MAGA gear in public or online can tick someone causing critical judgment and resulting in controversies. Is MAGA a fun saying for the kids or is it a motive to do great in life and help the universe and planet and most importantly our government to achieve obstacles shortly in the future?

Big Corporations Pay No Income Tax.
Shocking to explain the fact that the top 60 profitable corporations in the United States paid no income tax for the year 2018. Leaving many taxpayers surprised to find that they had to pay more taxes than last year or received significantly fewer refund dollars from the IRS. Such companies as Amazon, IBM, Netflix, and Chevron had millions in U.S income and received a federal income tax rebate of 3 digit millions.
According to https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/05/03/big-corporations-pay-no-income-tax-unlike-you/ the cost of poverty is becoming unbalanced, cutting $845 billion in Medicare, $1.5 trillion in Medicaid and $84 billion in Social Security. Something Tump promised he would not do when running for president. I'm sure most of the middle-class trump supporters did not exactly know what Trump meant when he said: "tax cut would lead to higher wages". Talking about this in actual time is unreal. Unbelievable what a president with power can do and not think fairly to most of America. Is the "wall" the solution to all these financial and debt problems in our country?
Because of many new laws, new data from ABC news concludes that 55% of Americans will not be voting for Trump in 2020 and that sounds amazing. The facing of a new outbreak of corporate tax avoidance under the Trump GOP is truly unfair for many citizens bringing me to my last statement in which Trump continues to lie and does not deserve to be the president of the United States.

Monopoly in business commentary
In the business aspect of monopoly, it makes sense for a business owner or a wealthy person to be part of a monopoly. Unlike my colleague Charles explained Charles Muhire Blog, I'm a strong believer that the economy is all about choice. It gives entrepreneurs a chance to grow and improve on new ideas, solving unique problems to enter the market. Monopoly allows international companies to compete domestically allowing products to be cheaper and cheaper. Innovation gets better because every company must keep competing collectively in that industry. Above all, the U.S government can create a lot of regulations by the way you and I vote. The bigger business will only be satisfied. The more the regulations the less the smaller business can compete with the bigger top companies. Which means prices don't go lower and what we, the consumer vote for is to make things efficient and more cost effective. The more the regulations the less that will happen to us.

Trump's misleading spin on the 2018 GDP growth rate.
Trump has publicly reported a GDP growth of 3.1% under the four quarter by four quarter calculation. In which the U.S Bureau of Economic Analysis reported real GDP has increased by 2.9% from 2017 to 2018 annual level. Trump has commented on the fact based on the calculation from an annual level to be “fake news” and that's where Trump takes a misleading turn. The way he frames this issue and attacks the press is what's outstanding.
The problem with Trump is that he had hoped to beat the 3% growth and hoped to compete with Obama’s GDP growth from prior years. According to The Washington Post, https://www.washingtonpost.com/ the White House Council of Economic Advisers came to the rescue by offering a calculation that compared the fourth quarter of 2018 with the fourth quarter of 2017. This calculation, know as 4Q/4Q, comes to 3.1 percent, allowing Trump to claim victory. In comparison, the 4Q/4Q makes more sense as a measure of annual growth than the traditional calculation. “The annual-average-to-annual-average growth rates reflect what happened in the preceding year as well as what happened during the year in question” “In contrast, the fourth-quarter-to-fourth-quarter growth rates reflect only what happened during the specified year.”
Gross domestic product is used to measure the market value of all goods and services produced in a year. Many educated Americans take into consideration these measurements to analyze many statistics. Studying the economy has many turns as to where and how money is being made and issued. In the current research, poverty continues to fall and Trump's tax cut and huge spending bill have pushed the gross domestic product past expectations, causing the deficient of the GDP ratio wider making it harder for the government to respond to the next economic crisis.
Trump has an ordinary attitude towards many government policies which makes a lot of citizens difficult to cope with including myself. For example, Under Trump 93,000 jobs have been outsourced for his own fault which does not help the economy as a whole. Although, he is our president with many supporters and a strong team he might be able to outdo the laws as many times as he, please.

"Turns Out There Is A Proper Way To Buy Your Kid a College Slot"
On March 12, 2019, The Editorial Board wrote an opinion on the New York Times Calling it "Turns Out There Is A Proper Way To Buy Your Kid a College Slot"
On the post, the editorial board talked about how many wealthy parents were caught in a fraud administrative scam. Where they were paying many employees, staff including coaches thousands of dollars to accept their children into elite schools such as Stand-ford, Georgetown, UCLA and even Yale University. The Editorial board mention "This is infuriating for parents and students who chose to play by the rules in seeking college admissions" briefly explaining how merit is not defined on a test but in artistic talents of other forms not closely correlated with grades.
The author/s of this opinion was to inform people who might not know what money can really buy. It was not surprising to me that this news comes out to the world. I'm content that wealthy people are getting exposed to this behavior, connections and money can take you to many places. But when it comes to honesty, trust, and loyalty especially when it affects the country, can become tempting for some of us.

Trump's China Bashing: Anti-Asian Racism
Trumps new cold war on Beijing has been effecting trade and such, more importantly created a anti-asian movement throughout the U.S. This bashing from President Trump created a domino effect towards higher education foreign students in the United States. In Duke university a women named Megan Nelly, as she calls herself the "language police" has reported statements and evidence of Chinese students speaking their own language in school premise then reported to students and faculty their "unacceptable behavior". According to Donal Trump and his supporters and as mention on https://www.counterpunch.org the Chinese culture are being spy's for our country...
As a result, the total foreign students in universities have double since the last two decade and Chinese students have grown the fastest. I could see why there could be other rationalities. After coming to the context that the Chinese student body overwhelmingly enter undergraduate and graduate programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics as well as business does make you think something might be up... As a conclusion Trump has already been denied and delayed visas from students studying robotics, aviation and high tech.
The author Ashley smith, a member of the international socialist organization and the editorial board of the international socialist review, wrote this article towards liberal believing audience. Smith concludes that we have to fight against these racist anti-asian acts and stand up just like the Chinese students in Duke University did against the wide spread email from Megan Nelly the "language police" of the university. I agree with Smith, we can not allow Trumps new cold war on Beijing to impact the society. Raising of tariffs, starting of an economic war towards China is one thing but cultural and racial discrimination is another thing and very personal. Blocking many opportunities for all kinds of race. This type of behavior will only allow more people to think and make it acceptable for everyone to act on, spreading and penetrating on toxic citizens in the United States. Although, Donal promotes such behavior because he is our president many international bodies might only get stronger mentally.
