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.
