Donald Trump's Political Cartoon Analysis
This week's political cartoon revolves around Trump’s revealing confidential information about nuclear issues and ISIS. I could see that message in the cartoon through the image of President Trump's mouth as a water pipe, leaking drops of water carrying the words "nuclear subs" and "ISIS plot", followed by the quote "We need to crack down on the leakers. " This underscores the contradiction in Mr. Trump's manner of action. Recently, he has banned journalists from press briefing for allegedly leaking the confidential information of the White House. Now, he made the same mistake. Although according to security analysts and security experts Donald Trump has the rights to disclose classified information, his decisions to share sensitive information

    Senator Mike Gravel of Alaska was given a copy of the classified “Pentagon Papers” in 1971. After he received the classified documents, he called a meeting of his subcommittee in the Senate and shared their contents with the others in the subcommittee. He also allegedly arranged to publish the documents through Beacon Press. A federal grand jury, in the process of an investigation of possible federal law violations, subpoenaed one of Senator Gravel’s aides. Senator Gravel protested this subpoena arguing that requiring the aide to testify would be a violation of the Speech and Debate clause.…

    On June 16th at his very own Trump Tower in New York City, Donald Trump announced that he would be running for president. It was only thirty seconds into his speech when Trump committed his first fallacy. In an attempt to insult the intelligence of his fellow GOP candidates, he compared their incompetence toward air conditioners to their supposed inability to beat ISIS. “They didn’t know the air-conditioner didn’t work,” “How are they going to beat ISIS?” This is a bad example fallacy due to his use of an example that fails to prove the conclusion and has little connection to it. Despite the complete lack of relation between Trump’s example and his conclusion, he was still able to provoke the audience into feelings of contempt toward the other…

    While the executive order and executive privilege were introduced with good intentions, many believe that the latter was abused—especially during Richard Nixon’s presidency, however, this argument is and can be solely based off of a biased perspective. While in “Nixon’s Address to the Nation on his Secret Tape Recordings”, from 1974, which is a moderately strong document due to its author being a former president (the validity suffers because Nixon is biased in favor of himself), it can be seen that the president had a reason behind his controversial actions: “Ever since the existence of the White House taping system was first made known last summer, I have tried vigorously to guard the privacy of the tapes. I have been well aware that my effort to protect the confidentiality of Presidential conversations has heightened the sense of mystery about Watergate and, in fact, has…

    Facebook isn’t just a place to see pictures of friends and family’s latest vacation, or to see what your sister-in-law cooked for dinner that night. It’s a place where news, messages, ideas, and funny cat videos can spread at the click of a button. Given that, on average, over 628 million people log on to facebook each day, it is a great website for advertisement. With these statistics, anyone trying to relay some type of message would be “stupid” to not use Facebook as a resource. With this in mind, the Facebook page of GOP front runner Donald Trump takes advantage of the use of Facebook to express his personal values, gain media exposure, and to acquire voter support for his presidential campaign through a use of image and text post strategies…

    Edward Snowden Argument

    • 1168 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Activist Daniel Ellsberg, who himself had leaked the classified Pentagon Papers during the Nixon administration, applauded Snowden for being “the one person in the…NSA who did what he absolutely should have done” (Hope X). Ellsberg echoes the sentiments shared by many Americans and defends the whistleblower’s right to protect his own country’s Constitution. While it is clear that Snowden’s exposure of the NSA constitutes whistleblowing, it takes his supporters and well-known whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg to bring the issue light in the White House: the fact that the controversy is so ardent within the country—and the fact that the issues surrounding Snowden are not so cut-and-dry—mirrors many cases of questionable pardons in the U.S. in the past (Turley). According to Jonathan Tuley, Snowden’s situation is similar to Ellsberg’s and many other pardons in U.S. history, and furthermore, his pardon would pacify the “national divide” that has occurred as a result of the controversy. This argument is poignant, considering the level of controversy and the volume of unfavorable evidence against the NSA provided by…

    Social stratification is the hierarchical arrangement of large social groups on the basis of their control over basic resources (Kendall, 1998, p.24). By ranking each social class in society, those who fall in the underclass are referred to as the poor. They typically live in areas with high rates of poverty and few opportunities to improve their lives. But what about those who have less than the lower class. There is a rising population of people who have lost everything and therefore must take shelter in the local parks, abandoned buildings, overpasses, and any other form of protection against the elements (Schutt, 2011). Homelessness is a social problem affecting our nation, which can only continue to grow if society does not make a change.…

    Edward Snowden Persuasive

    Throughout the past century there have been multiple incidents breeding distrust and contention between the government and civilians. There was McCarthy communist “witch-hunt ” of the sixties; the series of illegal activities associated with the Watergate scandal, and most recently the illegal the National Security Agencies illegal monitoring of citizens, borough to light by Edward Snowden. “Edward Snowden, Whistler- Blower” by The Editorial Board offers a sympathetic perspective at the noble effort and plight of Edward Snowden who is currently in hiding to avoid criminal charges for exposing the National Security Agency’s unlawful collection of personal information of citizens, including email messages and information about phone calls. The Editorial Board argues that Snowden should not be punished for his actions. Although his actions were illicit by law the article claims “When someone reveals that government officials have deliberately broken the law, that person should not face life in prison at the hands of the same government.” Despite some who believe that Snowden should be punished for the illegal release I too believe that people who reveal injustices should not face criminal charges if their means in releasing the information resulted in no harm.…

    As Michelle Obama said: “Being president does not change who you are. But it reveals who you are.” During the first few months, he is causing more problems than there was before. Getting rid of DACA, trying to ban Muslims, and much more. Donald Trump is abusing his powers. He’s saying “let’s get rid of immigrants,” when his wife is one. It’s not fair that people who are immigrant workers in the US, pay taxes, make money, go to school, have to be deported back home just because the so-called president does not like their race, religion, ethnicity, or sexuality. It’s cruel and unfair to them. I understand if you don’t like a particular race but do not make an assumption about who they are as a group of people, calling Mexicans criminals and rapist…
