Enclosed in a sea of differing opinions and passionate political takes, Senior Anthony Pasqualone finds himself deserted with his differing opinion that Trump should be reelected in the 2024 presidential race.
As the 2024 presidential elections approach, the nation is once again polarized by the starkly different visions of Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump.
As the campaign between the two presidential candidates intensifies, many people are unable to let go of Trump’s controversial past, fueling tension among Republicans and Democrats.
While many people question how anyone could endorse the 45th President of the United States following his numerous controversies, including his use of X (formally Twitter), the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack and the Stormy Daniels coverup scandal, some like Pasqualone, continue to support Trump and encourage others to acknowledge the positive he has done for the country.
“What first attracted me to Donald Trump as a political figure is his economic standpoint,” Pasqualone said. “I believe he’s wise with his approach to real-world problems, and his movement represents something larger than just one political figure.”
According to Pasqualone, outside of his considerably negative publicity, Trump has managed to boost the country’s economy. By passing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2018, corporate tax rates were reduced, and tax relief was provided to millions.
Another highly praised Trump initiative that Pasqualone favors was his strict immigration policies. Trump’s White House Archives claim that immigration was reduced by 49% and that Trump took major strides towards keeping drugs, criminals, and terrorism out of the country, along with strengthening the economy and workforce by protecting
American workers from job loss and abuse of the welfare system.
More importantly, Pasqualone finds that Trump’s nationalism and patriotism shine through his political statements, regardless of how they may seem at face value. Through rallies and speeches, he’s proved himself to be a true defender of American values and traditions, appealing to voters who feel deep pride in the American identity.
Those who feel progressive values are a threat to the country enjoy Trump’s quirky but heartfelt remarks.
“Trump really emphasizes American patriotism, and that’s what our country is all about,” Pasqualone added. “He’s great at displaying it, and I completely support it. If there’s any specific area where he excelled though, I’d have to say it’s his control of illegal immigration between the United States and Mexico.”
Despite the constant scrutiny of the media, Pasqualone supports Trump’s ability to withstand constant challenges, which he believes helps Trump garner respect from supporters and proves his perseverance.
According to Pasqualone, the internet also plays a huge role in Trump’s portrayal.
“The press has two different viewpoints, some good and some bad,” Pasqualone explained. “I’d say that the internet mainly shows what they want individuals to see, which can be a reason he’s covered so negatively in the press.”
Additionally, Pasqualone and other supporters point to his advocacy for the armed forces pledging to strengthen the U.S. military; he receives a great deal of support from military families.
“I think that Trump has garnered strong support from his fans because of the decisions he makes,” Pasqualone said. “They make a lot of sense to us, so we love him. I would absolutely support him if he ever ran for office again. ”
