During Game Seven of the Cleveland Cavaliers versus the Golden State Warriors, the referees continuously stopped the clock, as they pointed to the many out-of-bound plays. As the television displays the reactions of the players, we can subconsciously capture the humor throughout the game. While the majority of both teams point to their opposing basketball hoop, we can simply watch a replay of which team truly has possession of the ball. Laughter is unconstrained, because it is “obvious” to the viewers which player displaced the ball from the court, when the instant replay confirms our first thought.
Ironically enough, the current presidential campaign is creating a similar response. With the aid of each social media platform, along with the news, viewers are able to reconnect themselves and watch videos of Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton numerous times, in an attempt to comprehend what they are voicing and their plans with America; or should I say, their “game” of pointing fingers at one another. By replaying debates and rallies, both candidates are reassuring Americans that this campaign has unraveled itself into a child-like game of, “Who do you like better?” There is so much humor discovered within each candidates’ verbal attack on the other, when the only attacking that should exist, are a candidate’s motive to terminate varying epidemics of failure within our government and country.
If Donald Trump achieves his goal of building a wall, or if Hilary Clinton’s relation to Bill Clinton politically aids in her expansion of voters, they both will be unable to eliminate one major problem in America. That is, Americans will continue to point their fingers at opposing perspectives and beliefs, and direct their fingers at a government that is gradually losing manipulation of its stability. With that being said, neither candidate in this game will “Make America Great Again”, considering their incapability to solely focus on their goals and the American people. For now, viewers relentlessly watch two candidates who withhold incorrect motives in mind, dreading the upcoming battles of presidential preference.
