Can Trump turn around his struggling presidency?

On July 16th, 2017, USA today posted an article called "Analysis: at the sixth-month milestone, can Trump turn around his struggling presidency?" This article discusses on how President Donald Trump is not holding on to his promises to the United States. Trump was constantly making promises to his voters on how America was going to be great again, yet not one of his agendas have fallen through. As you may know, one of the biggest promises Trump constantly repeated was to build a wall across the Mexican Border. Trump had a way with words who made a lot of voters believe in him, yet a lot of sources are beginning to believe that half of his promises will not make it. Also, Trump has shown to be on social media a lot expressing how he feels. When he lashes out, he goes onto social media where everyone can see. The article focuses on how Trump does not know how to handle serious cases like Russia since Trump has no military experience. It also focuses on how there has not been any discipline in the white house since Trump has became president, and that should be a worry for our country.

I would recommend this article because it has different view points on our president not doing what he has promised. It shows how our president cannot handle tough situations and that it should be concerning to us. We need to know more about how Trump is doing as president and this article shows that he is not the president we thought he would be.

On August 2, 2017, the Opinion Page from Los Angeles Times posted an article "Does carrying a gun make you safer? No. In fact, right-to-carry laws increase violent crime" by Patt Morrison. This article explains that the right-to-carry law has made violence happen more frequently than before the law was passed. Morrison uses Texas as an example, he explains that in 1996 before the law was adopted, violent crimes were only at 6%, now throughout the years, the percentage has gone up 15% more. Morrison explains that having a gun makes people believe they are capable of doing anything with it. This could be why crime have gone up extremely high, not only in Texas, but all 50 states. I personally believe the right-to-carry law has its pros and cons. Having a gun does make people feel safe, but a lot of things could happen to make people feel more unsafe. Reasons for this law being a good thing, is because if a woman lived at home by herself, she would feel more protected to kno...

On July 20, 2017, The Opinion Page on New York Times  posted an article called "Trump Is His Own Worst Enemy" by Charles M. Blow.  Blow makes different arguments on how President Donald Trump does not care enough for our country. He first explains that Trump never plans ahead before making his decisions. The Republicans and Donald Trump wanted to replace The Affordable Care Act without having any plans on how to do it. Some people were waiting for this to happen but since there was no effort in making this decision happen, they simply ignored it. When publishers would ask about it, Trump would constantly repeat himself about details that did not exist. I can agree with this statement because I have watched the news and have seen Trump repeat himself multiple times when he has nothing else to say. I don't know if it's because he is in the process of making decisions happen, or if he really does not know what to do. Another statement that Blow ma...

On July 21, 2017, the Opinions Page on Washington Post  posted an article called " Attacks on American Muslims are un-American. Under Trump they're on the rise " by Khizr Khan. This article explains different situations dealing with Muslims and other minorities facing assault for their religion or race. The article discusses how harassment has gotten worse since President Donald Trump took the chair. In a study, his first 10 days of being President caused 867 harassment incidents. Also, the number of anti-Muslim hate group rose from 34 in 2015, to 101 in 2016 with a 57 percent increase. Khan says in Virginia, where she lives, a Muslim teenager was killed last month while walking with friends. We have been set to believe that all Muslims are bad and we should do something about it, but there are innocent people trying to live their lives but can't because there is always someone causing trouble. Some minorities are scared to leave the house because of what they see ...
