The Consequences of Cynicism

Donald Trump, a seemingly confident candidate running for US President, is trying to push cynicism to the limit through extreme vetting on immigrants and opposition to international trade, two policies most economists denounce. Although filtering immigrants has long been an American tradition, raising it to an unprecedented level will only create more hatred among races, block the flow of great ideas, and require raising taxes to cover the extra spending requirements. The policy of restraining international trade, also derived from distrust and overprotection, can cause serious harm to the U.S.'s current free-market economy, which has long been a key factor in  its prosperity. The country will suffer a great loss in the diversity of available goods and its comparative advantage over other economies, surely decreasing its competition in the market and creating more unemployment in the long run. Such tactics will ironically give the American people less security and more to fear.

The Consequences of Cynicism

Donald Trump, a seemingly confident candidate running for US President, has taken is trying to push cynicism to new levels the limit through with his proposal in favour of extreme vetting of immigrants and his opposition to international trade, two policies of his that have put most economists off. Although filtering immigrants has long been an American tradition, raising it to such an unprecedented level only creates more hatred among the races and blocks the flow of skilled labour/great ideas, besides having to raise taxes to cover the extra spending. His policy of restraining international trade, also which is derived from his distrust of others and his inclination in favour of protectionism, can cause serious damage/harm to the country's current free and open market economy, which has long been contributing to its prosperity for a long time. Many of the country's products will surely suffer from a severe loss of competitive edge and comparative advantage, leading to a  decrease of their competitiveness in the world market and creating more jobless people in the future . His distrust and inclination towards overprotection ironically give its people more fear, instead of security.
