WSJ op-ed blasts Trump while Manafort/Russia scandal worsens

In the article titled “WSJ op-ed blasts Trump while Manafort/Russia scandal worsens” by John Aravosis on the political blog, AMERICAblog, the writer expresses his opinion on President Trump. Aravosis believes that President Trump never intended to actually become the president, he only wanted to get his name out there and gain money in the process. His motives changed once he realized that the possibility of him winning was getting higher. Once he became president, he would leave most of the work to Mike Pence. The writer also says that Trump is ineffective as a president due to his tendencies to act like a dictator. His lack of experience has hindered him from being an effective leader because the government workers know how to run their government better than Trump. Manafort being involved in Trumps campaigns has caused controversy to arise on the topic of his presidency, and since he was unable to respond accordingly, he damaged his reputation.

The argument made in this article is that President Trump is unfit for his job due to his inexperience, which has caused him to fall into the public turmoil. I agree with the author on his opinion of Trump's capability to lead this country. He has given me a different view of the reasons why Trump might be failing. Since the author has worked in the US Senate, he understands and is well informed about the government system and the steps it would take for Trump to be a productive leader. His intended audience would be ordinary citizens because the author wants to inform them and give reasons as to why Trump is not competent to be the president.

Liberals, don’t abandon the federal government

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the national government became weaker than state governments? Well in history that has already happened, which is why the framework of the Articles of Confederation was edited to form the Constitution, resulting in restored power to the central government. As mentioned in an article titled “ Liberals, don’t abandon the federal government ” from The Washington Post , liberals have been increasingly active in supporting state rights. Soon after President Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris climate accord, many states acted on their own to deal with climate change. In the past, liberal reformers were able to make accomplishments by relying on the national government because they have the power and resources that the states don’t. In the last two decades, this reliance on national government has slowly subsided as liberals raise their support for the authority of states. This article is worth reading because it gives the reade...

Blog Stage 5: Trump should prioritize our countires environment

With Trump as our president, many issues about national government are quick to arise, one including the United States attitude towards climate change. Former President Obama had a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by seventeen percent from the 2005 levels. This was done by enforcing the use of solar, wind, and geothermal energy which had effectively reduced carbon pollutions, making the country more energy secure than it had been in the past. I think that our current president, Donald Trump, does not approve of these efforts. He is trying to dismiss these issues and is prioritizing other problems such as increasing the number of jobs in our country. He says that building a strong economy is the key to protecting the environment. More effort should be put to protect the efforts former President Obama enforced that would help the environment. When Trump gained office, he did not have views that would support the environment. Recently, he signed an executive order that aimed at...

Blog Stage 7: Combating climate change

One of the biggest issues arising in this world that the government should prioritize is combating climate change. Our newest president, Donald Trump, is not aiding in fighting climate change. Instead, he has been making former President Obama’s efforts inadequate by withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, as well as signing an executive order that would further get rid of Obama’s efforts to help climate change. Towards the end of last year, both the United States and China had officially joined the Paris Agreement , meaning that America had taken a step towards saving the environment. This is significant because these two countries together make up 40 percent of all global emissions . Though the Paris Agreement does not solve the problem as a whole, it does enable many countries to cut down a number of carbon emissions they produce. Carrying out this agreement will impede the disastrous effects of climate change and may also bring change to the future’s environment. Though this ...
