Blog stage four: Congress has a breaking point this week Trump might have found it

In my blog stage four, I have read “Congress has a breaking point this week Trump might have found it” by Cheryl Gay Stolberg and Michael D Shear. This article is about how in decisions that Trump has made, Congress has decided to fight back. It’s saying that Trump has found the breaking point of Congress. In a remarkable series of bipartisan rebukes to the president Congress pushes back. Twelve republican senators abandoned the president to pass legislation, already adopted by the House, that would block Trump from declaring a national emergency to build his border wall. This was an act of defiance that he vowed to overturn with the first veto of his presidency. One of the senators, Patrick J Toomey said “it’s about separation of powers! It’s about respecting the principles of the Constitution” which they believe building the wall will violate. Until this event, Congress has for decades been considered a constitutional weakling, excessively differential to president, but this is a moment in history where the legislative branch seeks to assert its power and reverence. The audience of the New York Times is typically more for liberal biased people so this would attract people who would not support Trump and his decisions. The New York Times has very high credibility for liberal biased news but for republican they call it wish washy and not as factual. I believe that since the New York Times is more of a liberal magazine article it tends to take the side of the liberals. Trying to make Trump look bad in many situations, some are justified and some seem like they’re trying to make him worse than he is. I do believe that the New York Times in this situation has done an adequate job in explaining the situation with Trump and Congress. I support what this article says and the facts that are given.

Blog Stage three: Disappointment in Washington

I have read the article “Disappointment in Washington” : The Conan show was another failure of Democratic imagination written by The Washington Times. This article from the beginning shows a specific opinion on this topic due to its critical title. This article is filled with criticisms on this topic, The Washington Times starts this article by saying “The best laid schemes of rats and politicians gang aft agley, as the poet Bobby Burns might put it, and this is a lesson that events have been trying to teach Democrats embittered by losing the 2016 election since shortly after all the votes were counted.” This article mentions Robert Mueller had yet to put Donald Trump on the perp walk. That is apparently something the democratics have been dreaming of. This article talks about former lawyer to the president, Michael Conan and how he has revealed some things about President Trump being a con man, a cheat and a racist on many occasions. But for some reason, Michael Conan reveals that now he’s finally telling the truth. Obviously the tone and attitude of this article written by The Washington Times is indirectly stating that they do not support Trump or any of his decisions and his lawyer has a lot of bad things to say about him but wont. This opinion on these events that followed show that the author of this article does not agree with our decision in 2016 that made Trump President. The authors intended audience would most likely be people who do not support Trump as well and would support him on his strong worded opinions. His credibility is solid because most of his sources came from what Michael Cohen, himself said. All in all this article is not supportive of Trump and is trying to reveal his flaws by having the source that was close to the president expose him.
