If there is an error in a line, correct it in the space provided, otherwise put in a tick (). Has President Trump started a trade war? Do you like peanut butter? Or super-food cranberries? Are you planning to buy an American motorbike, or a new jeans? If so, you will soon probably have to pay a bit more than you would have paid at the beginning of the year. The reason? The European Union has put tariffs – taxes on products made abroad – on these and many other products from the US. It’s a reaction for tariffs on some EU goods that have been introduced by US President Trump. During his 2016 election campaign, the president promised to bring jobs back to America. He says that the US imports too many products, especially from China, but also from Mexico, Germany, Austria and others.

  • 2.3 Personality Type Bill Clinton Profile REWRITE.Pages
    AN INSIDE LOOK AT THE UNCONSCIOUS MINDS RUNNING BOTH, THE REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTIONS BY BARRY A. GOODFIELD, PH.D., DABFM Last week I profiled five Republicans who spoke at the convention. This week it will be the candidates for the office of president, vice president and other political figures in their conventions. They will be analyzed, and evaluated regarding their conscious and unconscious motivations based on their Goodfield Personality Types and subsequent predictable behavior. As much as is humanly possible this evaluation will be unbiased and will strictly adhere to the observable psychological dynamics presented by the top officials in both parties. The Democratic National Convention Philadelphia, July 25 - 28, 2016 Part 2 Former President Bill Clinton Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe III. Clinton’s father was a traveling salesman who died in an automobile accident three months before Clinton was born. His mother traveled to New Orleans to study nursing soon after he was born. She left Clinton in Hope with her parents, who owned and ran a small grocery store. In 1950, Bill's mother returned from nursing school and married Roger Clinton, Sr. The family moved to Hot Springs in 1950. Although he immediately assumed use of his stepfather's surname, it was not until Clinton turned fifteen that he formally adopted the surname Clinton as a gesture toward his stepfather. Clinton says he remembers his stepfather as a gambler and an alcoholic who regularly abused his mother and half-brother, to the point where he intervened multiple times with the threat of violence to protect them.

    Network Structure Explains the Impact of Attitudes on Voting Decisions Jonas Dalege, Denny Borsboom, Frenk van Harreveld, Lourens J. Waldorp & Han L. J. van der Maas Department of Psychology, University of Amsterdam, 1018 WT Amsterdam, The Netherlands Attitudes can have a profound impact on socially relevant behaviours, such as voting. However, this effect is not uni- form across situations or individuals, and it is at present difficult to predict whether attitudes will predict behaviour in any given circumstance. Using a network model, we demonstrate that (a) more strongly connected attitude networks have a stronger impact on behaviour, and (b) within any given attitude network, the most central attitude elements have the strongest impact. We test these hypotheses using data on voting and attitudes toward presidential candi- dates in the US presidential elections from 1980 to 2012. These analyses confirm that the predictive value of attitude networks depends almost entirely on their level of connectivity, with more central attitude elements having stronger impact. The impact of attitudes on voting behaviour can thus be reliably determined before elections take place by using network analyses. uppose you are one of the more than 130 million Amer- (Barabasi´ & Zoltan,´ 2004), and psychology (Cramer, Wal- icans who voted in the presidential election in 2016. dorp, van der Maas, & Borsboom, 2010; Cramer et al., 2012; S Let us further assume that you were supportive of van de Leemput et al., 2014; van Borkulo et al., 2015).

    US History/Bush Clinton 1 US History/Bush Clinton 1988 Election Having been badly defeated in the 1984 presidential election, the Democrats were eager to find a new approach to win the presidency. They felt more optimistic this time due to the large gains in the 1986 mid-term election which resulted in the Democrats taking back control of the Senate after 6 years of Republican rule. Among the field of candidates were the following: • Bruce E. Babbitt, former governor Electoral College 1988 from Arizona • Joseph R. Biden Jr., U.S. senator from Delaware • Michael S. Dukakis, governor of Massachusetts • Richard A. "Dick" Gephardt, U.S. representative from Missouri • Albert A. Gore Jr., U.S. senator from Tennessee • Gary W. Hart, former U.S. senator from Colorado • the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, civil rights activist • Paul M. Simon, U.S. senator from Illinois • Patricia Schroeder, Senator from Colorado Reagan's Vice President, George Herbert Walker Bush, easily defeated Senator Bob Dole of Kansas for the Republican nomination for President. Bush selected Senator J. Danforth (Dan) Quayle of Indiana to be his running mate. The Democrats, after exhausting primaries, selected Governor Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts as their nominee. The 1988 election set the precedent for the use of television as the primary method of voter mobilization. Bush assailed his opponent for being soft on crime and implied that he lacked patriotism. He blamed Dukakis for the pollution in Boston harbor. Dukakis lacked experience in national politics and failed to effectively counter Bush's assaults. Bush had a number of advantages, and won the election with 48.9 million George H.
