A recent study conducted by the UCLA Center for Scholars and Storytellers found that social media has the biggest influence on how adolescents and young adults view the “American Dream.” President Trump and Elon Musk were identified as top inspirations for young people. Despite fluctuations in his public approval ratings, President Trump’s impact on youth perception and media presence remains strong. However, his public persona has been controversial, particularly regarding his use of language and policies targeting diversity and inclusion programs. Trump’s actions to control higher education and state government academic content have sparked debates on educational freedom and equality. While some argue that these aspects do not reflect Trump’s strengths and his “America First” agenda, others believe that his actions have undermined principles of desirable personal behavior and core values for young people. This has led to divisions on views of Trump’s role model status. As the landscape of influence on youth continues to evolve, the role of media and public figures like Trump in shaping young people’s perceptions remains a topic of discussion and debate.
