Alternative Facts
Could anything be more bizarre than a celebrity star running
for president of the United States? Nope, not really. America was pretty much
doomed from the get-go, as soon as Donald Trump was nominated to run for our
commander in chief. But, how does a celebrity with no political experience
whatsoever convince millions of people he’s qualified? It’s actually quite
simple; just lie. Trump and his entire campaign decided to attack the media
claiming that everything reported was fake news. Well, everything that
contradicted what he fed to his followers that is. Any source of information
that revealed the horrible side of Trump was automatically deemed fake news.
However, Trump somehow managed to convince his supporters that this outrageous
claim was true. Although, his claims are completely untrue, he still continues
to spill his opinions on his social media. “Just heard Fake News CNN is doing polls again
despite the fact that their election polls were a WAY OFF disaster. Much higher
ratings at Fox,” Trump tweeted (Politico.com). It’s unfortunate that the man,
who is now our president, fails to understand the harm his untruthful
statements have on us Americans. It’s completely irresponsible and un-ethical
of Trump to blatantly lie. To top it all off, Trump himself has been caught
reporting fake news, with no facts or evidence to support his claims.
”The way in which Trump made those
charges about Obama; the way the White House subsequently handled the mess, by
demanding that Congress investigate them after an internal search that turned
up nothing to back them up; the way in which Trump continues to blithely
dismiss the need to get to the bottom of Russian meddling in our election — all
of those things are a function of something that is seeping into pretty much
everything the White House is doing these days,” (Washington Post).
But, what can we expect from a man who has absolutely no
experience in leading a country, or at least a sufficient amount of people.
