introduction
Should the Americans re-elect Donald Trump?

Donald Trump is, without doubt, the most controversial president the United States has ever had. Many people look forward to voting for him again when there are elections. However, there are strong reasons why the President should not be re-elected. In this essay we will look at political, international and personal reasons why POTUS should not get a second term in the White House.

Slide 9 - Diapositive

body (+)
First, The politics of Donald Trump are questionably. He had no previous exeperience in pubic office. He was a businessman. 

Slide 10 - Diapositive

body (-)
It is high time the Americans had a new president since the serving president is an unpredictable man who endangers not only the image the world has of America and its president, but also the safety of a whole nation. He has alienated many heads of state with his remarks on twitter.  He has fired people, such as Mr Sessions, who do not do as he pleases. Therefore, he, is seen by many people abroad as a kind of a joke rather than  the mighiest man on earth . Finally, he has broken many trade agreements because  he wants to protect the American market. He does not believe in climate change and  he has  withdrawn America's support of the Paris Treaty. ,But, most damaging is his foreign policy. The whole situation with North-Korea was very tense at a certain moment and some people already feared that Donald Trump would start World War III. 

Slide 11 - Diapositive

conclusion
In conclusion, I believe that, despite the prosperity he has brought to many citizens, I believe he should not be allowed to continue as president, even though many people would like to give him the chance to do everyhting he said he would do once he was elected. The damage he did to the image of his country and the American presidency, and his erratic and dangerous foreign policy is too worrying to grant him a second chance.
