  • Donald Trump Shoots the Match1 Sharon Mazer
    Donald Trump Shoots the Match1 Sharon Mazer The day I realized it can be smart to be shallow was, for me, a deep experience. —Donald J. Trump (2004; in Remnick 2017:19) I don’t care if it’s real or not. Kill him! Kill him! 2 He’s currently President of the USA, but a scant 10 years ago, Donald Trump stepped into the squared circle, facing off against WWE owner and quintessential heel Mr. McMahon3 in the “Battle of the Billionaires” (WrestleMania XXIII). The stakes were high. The loser would have his head shaved by the winner. (Spoiler alert: Trump won.) Both Trump and McMahon kept their suits on—oversized, with exceptionally long ties—in a way that made their heads appear to hover, disproportionately small, over their bulky (Trump) and bulked up (McMahon) bodies. As avatars of capitalist, patriarchal power, they left the heavy lifting to the gleamingly exposed, hypermasculinist bodies of their pro-wrestler surrogates. McMahon performed an expert heel turn: a craven villain, egging the audience to taunt him as a clueless, elitist frontman as he did the job of casting Trump as an (unlikely) babyface, the crowd’s champion. For his part, Trump seemed more mark than smart. Where McMahon and the other wrestlers were working around him, like ham actors in an outsized play, Trump was shooting the match: that is, not so much acting naturally as neglecting to act at all. He soaked up the cheers, stalked the ring, took a fall, threw a sucker punch, and claimed victory as if he (and he alone) had fought the good fight (WWE 2013b).

  • Freedom in the 50 States an Index of Personal and Economic Freedom
    FREEDOM IN THE 50 STATES AN INDEX OF PERSONAL AND ECONOMIC FREEDOM William P. Ruger & Jason Sorens FEBRUARY 2009 William P. Ruger William Ruger is an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at Texas State University. He is currently on military leave, serving in the U.S. Navy in Afghanistan. Ruger earned his PhD in politics from Brandeis University and an AB from the College of William and Mary. Jason Sorens Jason Sorens is an assistant professor of Political Science at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. He received his doctorate in political science in 2003 from Yale University, and his research focuses on secessionism, ethnic politics, and comparative federalism. His work has also appeared in Regional and Federal Studies, Comparative Political Studies, Nationalism and Ethnic Politics, and State Politics and Policy Quarterly. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper presents the first-ever comprehensive ranking of the American states on their public policies affecting individual freedoms in the economic, social, and personal spheres. We develop and justify our ratings and aggregation procedure on explicitly normative criteria, defining individual freedom as the ability to dispose of one’s own life, liberty, and justly acquired property however one sees fit, so long as one does not coercively infringe on another individual’s ability to do the same. This study improves on prior attempts to score economic freedom for American states in three primary ways: (1) it includes measures of social and personal freedoms such as peaceable citizens’ rights to educate their own children, own and carry firearms, and be free from unreasonable search and seizure; (2) it includes far more variables, even on economic policies alone, than prior studies, and there are no missing data on any variable; and (3) it uses new, more accurate measurements of key variables, par- ticularly state fiscal policies.

    Donald Trump, Professional Wrestling, and the Electoral Geography of Vengeance and Redemption WrestlePosium I 2020 John Heppen, University of Wisconsin, River Falls, David Beard, University of Minnesota Duluth Cartography by Matt Millett University of Wisconsin River Falls Overview • We will outline the connection between Trump and Professional Wrestling. • We will hypothesize that Trump's connection to wrestling culture shapes his political messaging. • We will outline three features of "wrestling rhetoric" and we will illustrate aspects of Trump's political messaging that share these features. • We will hypothesize that regions of the country in which wrestling is popular will be regions of the country in which Trump won the popular vote. • We will map attendance at WWE events; regions in which a higher proportion of the population attend wrestling events, we predict, will be regions where a higher proportion of the electorate voted for Trump. Donald Trump Wrestlemania IV Trump’s History with the WWE: Pre-Politics • Trump as commercial partner: • Trump Plaza hosted Wrestlemania IV (1988) & V (89) in Atlantic City. • Trump was interviewed during Wrestlemania VII in Los Angeles (1991) and XX New York (2004) • Trump as character in WWE narratives: • Trump was part of the Battle of the Billionaires for Wrestlemania 23 (2007) in Detroit.

    SMALL TOWN AMERICAS: REPRESENTING THE NATION IN THE MINIATURE TOURIST ATTRACTION, 1953-2014 by SAMANTHA JOHNSTON BOARDMAN A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-Newark Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in American Studies written under the direction of Timothy F. Raphael and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ Newark, New Jersey MAY, 2015 2015 Samantha Johnston Boardman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Small Town Americas: Representing The Nation In The Miniature Tourist Attraction, 1953-2014 By SAMANTHA J. BOARDMAN Dissertation Director: Timothy F. Raphael Nationally themed miniature tourist attractions are popular destinations in many areas of the world, however there is currently no site in the U.S. exactly analogous to such locations as Madurodam, Mini Israel, or Italia in Miniatura. What the U.S. does have, however, is a history of numerous “American”-themed attractions employing scale models and miniature landscapes that similarly purport to represent an overview of the nation. Developments in travel infrastructure and communications technology, the decentralization of national tourism objectives and strategies, the evolution of tourism and tourist attractions in the nation and changing American cultural mores can all be seen in the miniature American landscapes investigated in this project. Significantly, while research has been conducted on the Miniaturk and Taman Mini Java parks and the ways in which they are constructed by/construct a particular view of national identity in Turkey and Indonesia respectively, no such study has looked at the meaning(s) contained in and conveyed by their American counterparts.

  • Comparing Richard Nixon and Donald Trump: a Preliminary Report
    H-Diplo H-Diplo/ISSF Policy Series: Comparing Richard Nixon and Donald Trump: A Preliminary Report Discussion published by George Fujii on Thursday, June 11, 2020 H-Diplo | ISSF Policy Series America and the World—2017 and Beyond, Part II Comparing Richard Nixon and Donald Trump: A Preliminary Report[1] Essay by Melvin Small, Wayne State University, Emeritus 10 June 2020 | https://issforum.org/to/PS4-1 Editor: Diane Labrosse | Production Editor: George Fuj What makes a great president?[2] For many observers of American presidents, it is character. In my civilian life, I reviewed restaurants for The Detroit Metro Times. In that capacity, I observed people eating and drinking, activities that sometimes reveal character. Richard Nixon became a wine connoisseur during his years “in exile” as a lawyer in New York City in the mid-sixties. At some White House dinners, he served his guests decent California wine while he himself drank Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite from a personal bottle whose label was hidden by the steward with a white serving napkin.[3] At a small dinner for journalists in Donald Trump’s White House in 2017, dessert was one ice-cream scoop for the guests and two for the president.[4] In this character contest, the current president ranks below Nixon since he made no attempt to hide his boorishness. Backgrounds I will return to character issues below, but first I will consider the backgrounds of these two men before they ascended to the presidency.[5] We know much about Nixon due to the still burgeoning cottage industry of psychologists, historians, and journalists who claim to be Nixonologists.

  • Council Weighs Water Treatment Options
    The Portland Tribune City Hall Update: Council weighs water treatment options Plus, Mayor Ted Wheeler will wait for Independent Police Review report on police protest response before coming to any conclusions By Jim Redden July 4, 2017 Portland Water Bureau director Mike Stuhr recommended the most comprehensive and expensive option for treating a potentially deadly parasite in the Bull Run Watershed to the City Council on Tuesday. Stuhr said if money was no object, the council should spend up to $500 million for a filtration plant instead of $105 million for an ultraviolet treatment plant. A filtration plant would remove all contaminents from the water, including ash in case of a fire in the watershed. The cost clearly concerned the council, however. The bureau has committed to numerous other expensive projects, including building an earthquake-proof water line across the Willamette River. It tentatively scheduled an Aug. 2 hearing to make a choice. The Oregon Health Authority has set an Aug. 11 deadline for the decision. Wheeler waiting for IPR report Mayor Ted Wheeler is going to wait until the Independent Police Review division completes its investigation into the police response to competing downtown protests on June 4 before drawing any conclusions. Police Chief Mike Marshman defended the response in a June 21 letter to Wheeler, who had questioned some tactics in a June 13 letter to Marshman. Wheeler spokesman Michael Cox said last Tuesday that the mayor will let the exhange stand until the IPR releases its final report. "Too often in public life, we don't ask pointed questions due to the possibility that it will seem oppositional (rather than informational).
