What Trump did amazing was making him self-look really well liked and popular during the debate. The first thing he talks about is all the military and security endorsements he has received. He talks about the various amounts of Admirals and Generals who endorsed him. He mentions specifically ICE which by his claims has “never openly supported any candidate before”. This is by far one of his smartest tactics. Also he did a really good job making Hillary look stupid. When she speaks he makes facial expressions and little comments that really undermine everything she is discussing. It takes the audiences attention off what she is saying and puts it on Trump. He also blames the Obama administration (includes Clinton) about the horrible state of our cyber security. By doing this, he is able to bolster the Republican Party’s image, while discrediting Hillary Clinton. What Trump did not do so well with was being clear and exact with what his plans are for cyber security. This seems to be a common thing Trump does in public events. During this debate he talks about how bad America has been with cyber security, but he never explains or even summarizes his ideas to improve Cyber security. He is showing the American people and the world that the United States is not at their best and that can become a very dangerous thing. 

If I were Trump’s campaign advisor I would tell him that he needs to lay out at lest 2 or 3 points that explains most of his claims and plans. I know that if Trump was more clear with his plans, that he would not only help his image with the general public, but would boost his campaigns credibility. One of the biggest critiques of Trump is that it seems like he does not know what he is doing. By not being able to explain even briefly his plans, makes him look stupid and unprepared. Even though it has helped him, I would tell Trump not to interrupt Clinton as frequently as he usually does during these debates. It is not a good look for a presidential candidate. He needs to be able to show temperament and resolve, which are two very important qualities a world leader needs to have mastered (he has not).

First, his main platform is immigration, so I would tell him to keep making immigration his first priority. I tell him that he needs to talk about immigration at every public event because it is such an important subject that is very relevant in the United States. I would also tell him to really emphasize Clinton’s mistakes as the Secretary of State. By going over her two most prominent mishaps the email scandal and Benghazi attacks, he will be able to rally Republicans together, while discrediting and degrading Clinton’s time in the White House. This really would help show the American people that even being a career politician that Clinton is not prepared to be President of the United States.
