what were the major factors that led to President Trump being elected? What were some of the key issues and events that led to this outcome? What part did the Obama presidency play in Trump's election? How did Trump lay the groundwork for his eventual victory while President Obama was in office? Finally, after watching this video, why do you think the United States is so politically divided today?

During their election campaign, Republicans tried to capture the interests of as many people as possible. Campaigning for the construction of the US-Mexican wall was aimed at gaining the confidence of the inhabitants of the south, where workers from Mexico fled in search of work. Illegals took away jobs from the local population, because of which it suffered. To the promise to build the wall, Trump constantly added that it would be built at the expense of Mexico and not a single cent from the US budget would be spent on it.

An important factor influencing the election results was the victory of Donald Trump in five 'democratic' states. The victory of Republicans in states that did not pass into their hands for a long time became possible due to Hillary Clinton's mistake in the election campaign. Democrats were so sure of victory in "their" states that they had never visit them in the entire election campaign.

Government debt during the presidency of Barack Obama grew from $ 8.8 trillion in 2008 to $ 18.5 trillion in 2016, while US GDP growth over the same period amounted to 9.5%, an average of 1.19% per year. This is the lowest pace in 25 years. In addition, higher health insurance premiums have played a disastrous role in the campaign against Obama.

Some Americans are not satisfied with the regime of the current president and are protesting against government interference in property rights, while others do not want to support laws close to socialist legislation such as the arms law, the law on hate speech, and the immigration law. These people are ready to expand the powers of the government so that the state receives even more police rights, undermining individual freedoms for the greater, in their opinion, good for the country.

A split of the state along races is also possible. Representatives of different ethnic groups are finding it increasingly difficult to coexist, which is confirmrf by the rampant crime in US cities.

The main reason that may cause the US split is the state of the American economy. There is a close correlation between political divisions and economic inequality.
