Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and people behind it

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and people behind it

Finally Donald Trump, the blustery billionaire businessman, has become the US President.

Americans head to the polls in November; they need to choose between Trump and the Democratic Party’s nominee Hilary. They have chosen the opinion of various people who shared the view about these candidates. Understanding a candidate they studied and analyzed their history, nature, capacity and the future consequential decisions will be made from the White House.

When it comes to Trump, a man with no political experience and a guy of ever-changing platform, it’s hard to know what Trump really thinks. It becomes important who are the people he is surrounded with. They may have influential role in dictating policy.

Roger Stone - Who is he? He is “Campaign confidante,” “long-time ally,” “closest political adviser”. He may not have any direct relation now but Stone has built his reputation on controversy and dirty tricks.  It is interesting to see how he created the atmosphere for Trump. In 2008, he created an anti-Hillary Clinton group called C.U.N.T., Stone later said that he could not think of a good acronym for B.I.T.C.H.

He came close to Trump in 2012, after Trump raised crusade to question the validity of President Obama’s birth certificate and citizenship. Stone called the accusations “brilliant. We can call it ‘base building’.

Steve Mnuchin -The Chairman of investment company Dune Capital Management, become campaign’s finance chair last week. If we dig a history then we find him as one of the most notorious bankers in America.  He is known for the foreclosure of loans.  It reflects an extreme mentality of profit at all costs.

Corey Lewandowski - The much famous person among Trump’s campaign staff, Corey Lewandowski came into light this year when he grabbed a Breitbart reporter by the Army and Police charged him with misdemeanor battery, but a court lately said he would not be prosecuted.

Lewandowski served as campaign manager but known as a politico who is known for his sexist and racist behavior.  During this campaign he made sexually suggestive and at times vulgar comments for female journalists who have covered Trump’s presidential bid.”

Carter Page -A former investment banker and one of Trump’s foreign policy advisers. He is currently working in Global Energy Capital as managing partner. He was previously a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Edward Klein - The journalist-turned-gossip columnist Edward Klein was recently spotted dining with Trump at a campaign stop in Indiana. Klein claims he’s known Trump “for 35 years.

Klein is a self proclaimed best penman to run smearing campaign against Democratic politicians. He wrote salacious, almost astonishing stories about them. He stories are based on the quotes of anonymous sources.  This raised the questions about his credibility.

We can see some of the Klein’s stories like, “Hillary Clinton was once raped by her husband Bill, and their daughter, Chelsea, was conceived in the rape. Clinton and Obama once got into a physical fight.

Katrina Pierson we can call her the face of the Donald Trump campaign. People watched her talking his words.

Pierson became Trump’s national spokesperson; she is a polarizing figure in Texas politics. We can read her as if she is an activist more interested in self-promotion than in the work of political reporting.

Paul Manafort - He proved to be a task force in Trump campaign for one specific purpose. He made sure Trump secures enough delegates to clinch the nomination at the Republican National Convention this summer.

Carl Paladino - A blustery, rich, white, New York businessman who went with untraditional and offensive rhetoric ways to secure the Republican Party nomination.

Paladino is one of the original Tea Party heroes. He made headlines for his outlandish behavior. Lately when campaigning for Trump last month, he called president Obama as “raccoon in the basement.”

Michael Glassner - Trump’s national political director. He was Palin’s top adviser during the 2008 presidential campaign. Glassner is   pro-Israel. In 2014 he told the Journal, “he felt very strongly about the threat of radical Islam.”

Don McGahn – Serving for the The law firm ‘Jones Day’ and ‘Trump’s principal campaign counsel. He is leading the team.  McGahn is famous for a controversial former FEC commissioner and election lawyer, he is also a bit of an iconoclast.

Hope Hicks - Communications director for Donald Trump holds a famously low profile. This 27-year-old public relations professional had never worked on a political campaign now she is a person addressing journalists covering Trump’s White House bid.

Hicks handled Trump’s controversial Twitter feed; in that she takes dictation of Trump when he’s talking about something, then sends his thoughts to someone else in Trump’s circle to take it further.

Joseph Schmitz - Schmitz was Pentagon as Defense Department inspector general under President George W. Bush to investigate waste, fraud and abuse.  He is the author of “Sharia: The Threat to America” for the Center for Security Policy, same widely-criticized organization that provided the poll information cited in Trump’s Muslim ban proposal.

Sam Clovis - Sam Clovis is handling Trump campaign’s national co-chair and senior policy adviser after former Texas Gov.

In Iowa, Clovis was known as a college professor and radio host. Being a host he commented on Obama’s racial makeup would make it difficult to impeach him.

Daniel Scavino Jr- He is, Trump’s director of social media. He worked with executive vice president and general manager at the Trump Organization until 2013.  Scavino used defensive and often offensive   tweets to attack politicians, GOP presidential candidates, Mitt Romney, and Hillary Clinton.

Gen. Keith Kellogg - Keith Kellogg is a Trump’s foreign policy adviser. He spends his post retiring time for national defense contracting firms, including CACI international.

Kellogg   had a brief stint in Iraq as CEO of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) but the CPA is largely judged as a failure. During CPA tenure Kellogg served under L. Paul Bremer, who is widely accounted for dissolution of the Iraqi Army and this fuel insurgency in Iraq. It is the key factor in the formation of ISIS.

Ben Carson - Former Republican presidential candidate and retired neurosurgeon endorsed Trump and became a part of his close circle, stood beside him at press conferences. He changed his once negative tone about the real estate mogul Trump.

Carson played many controversial moves, includes claim  that women  abortions are like slaveholders, Obama care is the worst thing since slavery, and  Americans should not elect a Muslim to the presidency.

George Papadopoulos - he is Trump’s foreign policy advisers- who wrote  few op-eds for Israeli news sites — focuses on natural gas in the Mediterranean region.

Papadopoulos advised Ben Carson during his presidential bid, and is the director at the Center for International Energy and Natural Resources Law & Security at the London Center of International Law Practice. He previously worked as a research fellow at the conservative Hudson Institute.

Walid Phares - Trump chosen Phares as a foreign policy adviser, He’s a counter-terrorism expert.” He worked for Mitt Romney in 2012, and a frequent guest of Fox News. He is known for a conspicuous hawk for stoking fears of radical Islam — particularly about the spread of Sharia law in the United States.

I personally feel US has great future if they work on peace and progress. US economy need revamp of automobile and heavy industry sector. Share markets all over the world are uncontrollably moving. They need a confidence.

Brexit has weakened the Euro, the other countries have started creating a noise and their voice has to be herd. The generation who is watching will witness a major change and this change is going to shape our personal, private and social life.  

9/11 has changed the perception of civilization. Afghanistan war made things worse and Iraqi war changed the tread equations. Paris attacks shook the Europe. Jasmin revolution used the social media but threw the fascist power of six nations.

Surprisingly people from across the globe are becoming more ethnocentric and community oriented. Everybody is living uncertainty. The victory of Trump can give us the hope for better world.
