“My fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been well documented, are various other parts of my body.” @realDonaldTrump tweeted.
In order to build an image of someone we must know first who they are and where they come from, this is not where they were born or their ethnicity it is what has happened in their past to make them the person they are now.
Donald Trump has been married three times. In 1998 Trump began his relationship current wife Melania. Donald Trump went from billionaire to President whilst everyone who now in disbelief shook their heads from the very moment it began in 1988 first suggesting that he might run for election, and suggesting it regularly until 2012. In 2013 he spent an estimated $1 million dollars on research into becoming President. But it wasn’t until June 2015 Trump announced his intention to run for President of the United States succeeding in becoming President of the USA for 2017.
Whilst Donald Trump’s filthy rich life gathered attention, his popular show ‘The Apprentice’ which was also readapted here in the UK was thought to be where he carved his name in the eyes of social media. Popularly known for his Twitter account @realDonaldTrump his 10.7 million following of his professional and personal twitter persona and his tweets shows how his shocking views attract not only supporters of him but largely so those who ‘absolutely hate his guts’ presenting how social media was the platform Donald Trump had been waiting for.
With an election that gathered more than 1 billion tweets related to the campaigns sent since the August of 2016 it is fair to say that all potential candidates should be considered eligible to run for President based on statements, tweets, threats and promises made in their social media history. One of which being the most shocking is Donald Trump’s twitter account which not only contains outrageous tweets; ‘you know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful, piece of ass’ a tweet made on 5th October 2016 by @realDonaldTrump. The racist, sexist and homophobic views have been a running theme in Donald Trumps feed as early as 2012 when believed that the service rapidly gained worldwide popularity, more than 100 million users posted 340 million tweets a day. ‘Robert I'm getting a lot of heat for saying you should dump Kristen- but I'm right. If you saw the Miss Universe girls you would reconsider.’ Tweeted on 18th October 2012 by Donald Trump. The Social media racist had somehow slid through the cracks to presidency, I believe both his past and present history, what he represents and his views should forbidden him even leaving trump tower; as he incites fear in woman, coloured and the rest of the world and is not a person which should be allowed to become a role model for America and the rest of the world; as a result a danger to us all.
