Trump Trumps Promotion

A quick Google search of "Donald Trump" brings up a plethora of information on the potential Republican candidate, whether it be his Twitter profile or recent stories in the news. Trump really knows how to publicize himself successfully to persuade and mobilize the public.

Mark Leibovich wrote an article for The New York Times back in September 2015 on Trump and his political adventure, citing many of his speeches and his Twitter account among many other things. Leibovich stated Trump was the "single most self-­involved yet least introspective person [he has] ever met in [his] life, in or out of politics." After studying Trump's Twitter and recent speeches, this certainly rings true.

Trump is known for his outrageous quotes within his speeches, most recently about his tiff with Fox News, Megyn Kelly, and the Republican Debate tomorrow evening. Whether right or wrong, this certainly brought attention to himself. Trump successfully conveys his message that he's not here to mess around, and many people seem to respect him for his outright personality.

Through his Twitter, you can see he has consistently criticized his contenders week after week, and his 5.86 million followers doesn't tell a lie. Trump is a popular guy, even after being extremely blunt time and time again. It's no wonder he's been in the lead for so long.

Keep on keepin' on, Trump. What you're doing is working.
