President Trump's first month in office has definitely been a rocky road. National security advisor, Michael T. Flynn's resign will definitely identify as a big bump in the road for the Trump Administration and the White House. The presidents first month has been filled with "scandal, legal challenges,personal drama, and questions about his temperament during interactions with world leaders." Many people are worried that there is no clear understanding of who is in charge in The White House.So far President Trump has fallen short of some of the things he was promised to do. From the start President Trump has let all parties know he will be a force to be reckoned with. So far some have said he has failed to live up to his key plans of stopping illegal immigration, bringing back jobs, ending trade deals, and reducing crime all over the nation, which were promised throughout his campaign. So president Trump's job in office overall isn't off to the best start, but that doesn't mean it won't get better.
In Ap Gov we have been talking about the different types of voting strategies. We have been focussing on primaries and caucuses. A primary Presidential election was just held where people came to cast their vote for either Trump or Hillary, in which Trump won. In Ap Gov we have also been talking about the electoral college which is a group of people chosen to cast each state's vote for each senator and representative it has. In this past election the candidate who was to win the election needed 270 votes. President Trump obtained 306 votes while Hillary Clinton obtained 232 votes. Since Trump gained all of those voters' votes he should start moving forward with the promises he made to thank those that voted for him, and for the rest of the country.
After reading this article I have more understanding on how rocky President's first month has been. I do agree that Trump has had many obstacles but I feel that he needs to "get moving" to start fulfilling the promises he has made to all of this country. I also think there needs to be some more clarification in The White House regarding who is in charge and who is setting setting policies. I do believe President Trump can fulfill these promises and that we shouldn't judge him too much just based on his first month in office.
