5 reasons why 40 million voters will still vote for Donald Trump

(Baonghean.vn) - Despite allegations of sexual assault stemming from a 2005 videotape and recent unfavorable developments, analysts believe Republican candidate Donald Trump still enjoys strong support from at least 40 million American voters. Here are five prominent reasons:

1. "Benefiting" Americans through a piecemeal economic policy.

Trump began his campaign with his own money and represented the opposite of "prudence in the language of a politician." Millions of Americans viewed his business "success" as a form of power that would ultimately benefit them.

Although Trump refused to publicly disclose his income and frankly admitted to exploiting tax loopholes, many people saw his business success and respected it.

2. To bring about better trade deals and negotiations for the United States.

Trump often referred to the North American Free Trade Agreement, signed by former President Bill Clinton, as a "disaster." He also proposed a 45% increase in tariffs on Chinese imports and halting American companies from relocating overseas to create jobs domestically.

Diana Owen, a professor of media, culture, and technology at Georgetown University and author of several books on politics, including "Government and American Politics in the Information Age," said that trade was one of the issues that really "hit" Trump voters.

3. Uphold the values ​​of the Republican Party

Despite being a former Democrat, Trump attempted to align with Republican views on taxes, guns, abortion, and immigration. He also received endorsements from members of the Family Research Council and the National Rifle Association.

Geoffrey Skelley, editor of Crystal Ball's Sabato at the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, believes the candidate could do a good job and meet the expectations of most voters by adopting pro-life (anti-abortion) and anti-same-sex marriage stances.

4. Anti-immigration and anti-refugee views

He has repeatedly declared before crowds his desire to build a wall to prevent immigration, while also pledging to tighten border security, conduct "rigorous screening" of Muslim and Syrian refugees, and stop illegal immigration.

5. Differences

Donald Trump is known as a businessman, a celebrity, the host of the popular American show "The Apprentice," and the owner of the Miss Universe pageant.

His slogan, "Make America Great Again," struck a chord with voters about the country's future.

As a Republican candidate, breaking away from the traditional image of a politician—being frank and honest—his "different" approaches contributed to his success throughout the primary election process.
