Woodrow Wilson, a democrat progressive president was elected in 1912. He opens his speech saying that the presidency, the house, and the senate all have shifted to the Democratic Party due to a public need for change. However, he also stated that power within a political party is meaningless unless people use it reform and carry out necessary changes. Wilson also recognized the problems facing the nation such as large businesses and corportatioins taking advantage of the government and society as a whole. While these successful industries were economic advantages of the United States, their impact on the people needed to be considered. During his address Wilson additionally mentioned his disapproval of an extensive tariff, taxation, as well as businesses overtaking the government and people of America.
Donald J Trump is now president and the office has switched to more republican opposed to when Wilsons office switched to more democratic. Both show a shift in power.
