Trump

Trump is a unconventional president. He is different when compared to other candidates and if I could vote, most likely I would vote for him or Ben Carson. Interestingly, Ben Carson does not receive media coverage from media outlets and is always the person who receives the lowest attention in the debates. Thus, it is more difficult to see his policies and unfortunately the odds are not in his favor. Anyway, Trump is somewhat controversial; the media (mainly the liberal ones) exaggerate his statements sometimes, misrepresenting them to appeal to their audience; they also exclude some of the really beneficial stuff he says which you can find on fox. This tends to give the general population a more negative, bias, view of Trump. Nevertheless he is winning in the polls.

* Even though he does not believe in global warming, it is possible that he will implicitly solve it. He  believes in clean air and water. However by solving these issues, he can indirectly solve global warming which he thinks is a hoax. Trump incorrectly believes Climate and Weather are synonyms and needs to talk to scientists or be dropped of in the Antarctic. However Donald said: “...We want to have clean air to breathe and beautiful clean water... I received many environmentalist awards (refers to green construction)… we ship our coal to china …. its unbelievable what they're spewing in the air...if you are talking about global warming or climate change you have to make the whole world behaves.” This statement is more eco friendly orientated than not. However, he also stated that Obama was dumb for claiming climate change is at the top of the list. He has said:"windmills are destroying every country they touch" while producing "unreliable and terrible energy". I think that he might create stricter clean air and water regulations, consequently this would also fight back against global warming. However, I think the true answer to most environmental issues is science and not politics. I would hope that he would support a "bakeoff" and subsidize scientific explorations and innovations. Despite his stances on climate change being a hoax, I have not seen significant progress by other presidents who believe in climate change.

* He wants to stop outsourcing. He said: “I’m going to tell them, ‘Now I’m going to get consensus from Congress and we’re going to tax you,'” Trump said. “‘So stay where you are [in Mexico] or build in the United States.’ Because we are killing ourselves with trade pacts that are no good for us and no good for our workers.” This will severely benefit our economy because we have high unemployment, layoffs, which in turn are responsible for our crappy economy.....(read U.S outsourcing/economy posts). As expressed in the Reforms post, you can't fix the environment without a strong economy and a low (preferably 0) nat debt. You can't exactly spend a few hundred billion dollars on massive biofuel infrastructure projects, nuclear research with a bad economy. I am very sure that he would play a very positive role if elected in transforming our economy.

*His business ideology should make gov't act more efficiently.

*He breaks up the conventional political correctness system. He speaks his mind.

Unlike other candidates who, when elected will have to be restricted because their Big Corporation Financiers want something back. For example, let's say Big Coal Institute gives Candidate X 10 million for his campaign, if he is elected and wants to promote renewables and other policies in a way that disadvantages Big Coal, they will try to stop him and he will act in their favor.

CONS:

Some argue that he is "unpresidential" and his attitude is not suited for important decisions. However, I do not think this is exactly valid.



Conclusion: He is a good president is many area's. I think that his environmental policy might not be the best, but he should do a decent job at transforming our economy. Thus, renewable energy/ innovative companies should take advantage of this situation. I would also think that he would set the stage for a massive environmental reform by fixing the economy. You could get another president after his term to thoroughly solve these problems.
