About this item

The 2016 election season was like no other. Billionaire and international celebrity Donald Trump dominated both the primaries and the general election. His reputationas a negotiator; salesman; reality show host; and builder of glittering skyscrapers, golf courses, and casinosset him apart from all of the other candidates. His campaign set him apart as well. He commanded public and media attention via Twitter. He uttered what many considered to be outrageous statementsoffending some Americans with his comments about women, Mexican immigrants, and Muslims and horrifying others with his support for seemingly discredited theories. He also spoke about the need for jobs and recapturing a way of life that seemed, to many of his supporters, to be slipping away.
