His final opponents suspended their campaigns in May 2016, and in July he was formally nominated at the Republican National Convention along with Mike Pence as his running mate. His campaign received unprecedented media coverage and international attention. Many of his statements in interviews, on social media, and at campaign rallies were controversial or false.Trump won the general election on November 8, 2016, in a surprise victory against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

His other positions include pursuing energy independence while opposing climate change regulations such as the Clean Power Plan and the Paris Agreement, modernizing and expediting services for veterans, repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, abolishing Common Core education standards, investing in infrastructure, simplifying the tax code while reducing taxes for all economic classes, and imposing tariffs on imports by companies offshoring jobs. He advocates a largely non-interventionist approach to foreign policy while increasing military spending, "extreme vetting" of immigrants from Muslim-majority countries to preempt domestic Islamic terrorism, and aggressive military action against ISIS. His positions have been described by scholars and commentators as populist, protectionist, and nationalist. argentina_cirillo https://padlet.com/olivera_maria_ann/USA/wish/155680338 2017-02-23 08:32:19 UTC https://padlet.com/olivera_maria_ann/USA/wish/155680338 Super Bowl Day olivera_maria_ann https://padlet.com/olivera_maria_ann/USA/wish/155855420 Is the day on which the Super Bowl, the annual championship for the National Football League, is played.
