"I Am A Deplorable."

"I Am A Deplorable," reads a recent specimen of a sizable collection of Donald Trump-associated clothing and accessories, seems to bear a greater purpose to neighboring promotional merchandise of the Trump campaign. To better specify, this phrase carries with it Trump's retort to a comment made recently by Hillary Clinton regarding a large portion of Trump supporters as "a basket of deplorables."
 This statement proved to be of great offense and harm to a considerable number of Trump supporters nationally, which in turn prompted the Trump campaign to act according to a rapidly accumulating and powerful state of discontent, of which enveloped the Trump supporters effected. In order to deviate public attention from plausible reason being applied to Hillary's potent message, the supposed undesirability of Trump's supporters became a primary endorsement of the Trump campaign by the release of a T-shirt including a direct reference to Clinton's use of the word "deplorable." In doing this, the Trump campaign suggests to its supporters, as well as those of opposition to the party in its entirety, an undisguised appreciation of the subculture of individuals of whom are considered "deplorable" human beings without regard to the rationale beneath Clinton's claim. 
To conclude, Trump exploited a statement of which intended significant damage to him, along with his campaign, to the benefit of the encroaching power, influence, and unity of his supporters. A product of which was far from the satisfaction of Clinton, and may potentially prove to bring her campaign to a devastating disadvantage.

  1. I think overall these shirts are strange and these people should not be proudly wearing them, but people will do a lot to discourage another candidate.

  3. Kyle this is a strong analysis of how fickle the whole political agenda can be, from every aspect of both sides of the campaign. Do you think that flipping what someone has said about someone, and wearing it proudly, is an effective and appropriate way to spread your ideas? Or is it only appropriate in the political scenario? Overall, I think this is an interesting piece on a topic that is pretty hard to understand.
