Trump’s argument for improving the country’s economy was to bring back the companies that abandoned the United States and keep corporations from leaving the country. He also discussed ways to provide more jobs. He claimed that under his plan he would cut taxes for those businesses, in order to allow for businesses to grow and expand within the country, which in turn will help create more jobs for the American people.

Clinton claimed that under her plan they would create more jobs by raising taxes on these businesses, in which more investments would be made in the areas where the economy can grow and create more jobs for the people. Clinton also continued by declaring her plan will increase income as well, thus helping the middle class.

When shifting onto the topic of race, Clinton admitted to the social injustice and voiced that under her administration she would take immediate action and find ways to get the community of the people and the community of the police together and solve issues by sharing a mutual goal. She also stated that government action would be taken to pay for better training in the police force.

Trump urged for a stronger law and order system; to protect the citizens, especially in the more violent areas of the nation. He stressed how the government must be very vigilant and strong to enforce law and order.

As the debate ended on the topic of securing America, the Republican candidate disclosed that the only way to secure our country is to upgrade our weaponry. He urged the importance of strengthening the country’s arms. He stated that Russia and several other countries are updating their own arms at a fast rate, and that the United States needs to not only keep up with this development, but be leading this development.

Clinton expounded on the need to work more closely with the country’s allies, and focus on stopping terror, especially the allies located in the Middle East. She also advocated for working with citizens in the States that had come from the Middle East or share an Islamic background.
