I'd say Trump, but it's a tough one and I'm not sure yet who I'll be voting for. I do think that Clinton has a more presidential look but trump has more experience in business and in creating jobs. He also seems like the kind of guy who will focus on America and put Americans first when signing trade deals and negotiating with other nations. America has been ripped off in the past and has been taken advantage of by other nations. I also feel that he'd the best candidate to deal with radical Islamic terrorism and the Middle East. We need to have a tougher policy in Syria and make sure that ISIS is weakened. We need to increase air strikes but I'm not sure whether we should deploy soldiers. At the moment, our Middle East policy is not of huge importance to me.
What I don't like about him is his economic policy. I feel that globalisation is good overall but America has not been doing it right. We haven't been negotiating trade deals properly and we need to make sure that our goods and services are internationally competitive. Tariffs aren't the answer. We need to make sure that Americans receive the training they need to work in the industries of the future, and I don't feel that either candidate has provided a good solution to this.Anyone who has read last week' special on globalisation in The Economist will know that tariffs and protectionism will hurt the poor the most. In the long run, trade with other nations benefits America more than it hurts us.
What I do like about Trump is his stance on guns and the Second Amendment, although I don't feel that either candidate will do anything huge in the guns department.
I also like Trump's stance on immigration. I'm of immigrant background myself like most Americans but I feel that illegal immigration needs to be dealt with and we need to have a proper border wall to reduce illegal immigration from Mexico. I don't believe that Mexico will pay all of it but I'm sure some sort of deal can be agreed.
I have been gravitating more towards Clinton recently but I am be much undecided. I want someone who can provide jobs most importantly and who can deliver an America that's stronger and more prosperous. This will be my first time voting but I've always admired the Republicans' economic policies as I like free markets, less welfare spending, more privatisation, less regulation and red tape. I feel like Mitt Romney or Marco Rubio would have been perfect but I'll have to compromise in this election.
