OVERVIEW
The United States of America Federal Government was shut down on December 22, 2018. The government did not reopen until January 25, 2019. The government shut down lasted a total of 35 days causing ripping-uproar, devastation, torture, insolvent, and disgrace to our country. The government was shutdown by the 45th President Donald Trump. Trump shutdown the government because he did not receive monetary compensation to build a border wall around Mexico. The estimated price of the border wall at a minimum is $15 billion dollars (NBC 2018). There have been inconsistences on who will pay for the border wall.
BACKGROUND
Trump has stated since 2015 that Mexico will pay for the border wall (BBC 2016). Trump fuel his campaign off a “beautiful southern border”. Trump made all these promises to his supporter, but when once elected reversed majority of his promises. Conversely arouse when Trump went from saying Mexico will pay for the wall to Mexico will help pay for the wall, and his current saying is he wants the United States to pay $5 billion dollars for the wall. Congress did not approve funding for the boarder wall. Once congress did not approve funding President Trump retaliated by ordering the government to shutdown. Trump really believed that the government shutdown would make congress reconsider if he placed United States in a choke hold. How could Trump supporters still support him after all the lies he has told them?
ANSWER
On Wednesday October 28, 2015 at the third Republic debate hosted by CNBC Trump stated Mexico is going to pay for the wall. Just in recent news Trump is now requesting America to pay for the wall (NBC 2018). Trump statements on the board wall funding is cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is when someone says something, but they contradict themselves by doing the opposite of their thoughts or belief. Trump shows cognitive dissonance with inconsistences as to where he is going to the get the funding for the border wall. Voters voted for Trump because they believe the wolf pack of lies, he was feeding them. Trump was simply a wolf in sheep clothing luring his racist supporters into his trap. Trump campaign slogan is “Make America Great Again”, instead, Trump “Made America Hate Again”. How could Trump supporter still support him when he separated children from there families? Trump reversed his “zero tolerance” policy (USA TODAY 2018). During the time frame of October 1, 2017 and May 31, 2018 Trump separated at least 2,700 children from their parents. Some of the children were separated from there parents for over six weeks. Now take the time as a Trump supporter and a parent yourself, how could you support someone who could do this to small innocent children. If those were your kids would you want to be separated from your children? If the response is no, I do not want to be separated from my children this is dissonance induction. Dissonance induction is when your action contradicts your thoughts or vice versus, and you are prompt more into justifying it when it is personal the reason you change your mind. You support Trump, but do not supporter’s separation of children from parents. That is not making America great. Help resolve cognitive dissonance by impeaching Trump, accept the facts that Trump has bamboozled his supporter into believing in him, and finally practice what you preach. Never be ashamed to admit when you are wrong. The impeachment derived from Trump constantly lying about his business ties to Russia and the allegation of Russia hacking the voting pole. Roger Stone whom is an adviser and confidant of Trump was arrested for obstruction of a proceeding. The same day Stone was arrested in Florida home President Trump wants to end the government shutdown. I believe he only ended the shutdown as a distraction to what was going on with Roger Stone. He ended the government shutdown and he did not get the funds for his border wall. Trump supporters need to admit he flat out lied about the funding of the wall, and Russia involvement in the election poll. Trump bamboozle Omarosa into believing in him. Trump used Omarosa to get the votes of black people. Omarosa was physically dragged out of the White House (NY Post 2018). It is well documented how Trump feels about woman such as grab them by the pussy (NY Times 2016). People can be against sexual abuse against women, but it is ok for Trump to sexually grab women. The issues with Trump would not have emerged if he did what he promised his supporters and would have honestly got elected as president. If a person still supports Trump after all the evidence, they are displaying generative cognition. Generative cognition is when a person has a hard time changing. In the world of politics’ candidates always say they gone do this and that once their supporters elect the candidate, they do the total opposite.
CONCLUSION
People supported Trump and his campaign believing in him. Trump has no heart for the under-privilege Americans. Trump main consider is himself and money. Trump knew if he fueled his campaign On Make America Great Again it would bring out all the racism. He just recently came to MS and endorsed the Cindy Hide Smith campaign. Smith public stated she would attend a public hanging and would sit front row seat. This shows the world will vote for people that public display their racism. Trump has constantly shown he is incompetent to be the President of the United States. Trump has contradicted himself of several occasion such as the wall, a tweet that in 2013 urging President Obama not to attack Syria, but in April 2017 Trump attacked Syria. Now this is what really should show you that this man (Trump) is a loose nut ball running the country he stated back in 2012 that President Obama should be fired for a government shutdown (The Hill 2018). Now keep in mind Trump just ended the longest government shutdown in the United States history, which lasted 35 days. Let’s practice what you preach Trump! We the United States Citizens need to fire Trump!
