We're screwed apparently

This opinion article by David Brooks, who has been an author for the New York Times's opinion page, is pretty clear about what he wants to get across. "This Century is Broken," is about how it's clear that the economic and political stance of America is really in a downward spiral and it somehow started sometime this century. There used to be times when jobs were rising and more people were getting paid for working. Brooks mentioned a lot of statistics comparing our 21st century to the 20th century. It's starting to look a lot like we aren't really doing a lot to help either. I believe when Brooks is really trying to start a movement to make things better and is speaking specifically to the 21st century millennials. Since we weren't born until 90's and 200's, it starts with us to try and get the statistics back to the standards were when it was a better time to be in America.
He makes valid points all the way through to keep his argument and makes me certaintly believe that this 21st century life isn't so great either. His last statement about Trump, "If Trump is not the answer, what is?" Is very interesting and makes a pretty good point. If Trump is supposed to change this all around, but doesn't look that way, who and what do we turn to?

No manches Trump

This article called, "Trump's Continuing War on His Own Credibility," by Steve Chapman is everything I want to say about how unpolitical he is, but more professional. This article goes on and talks about how he has single handedly showed America that he has no clear boundaries as president and is really making it hard to believe he needs to be in charge of this country. For example, after becoming president he was, "flabbergasted to learn he can't unilaterally do everything he wants." Chapman states also in his article that campaigning and governing the country are two totally different things that Trump does not get; at least not yet. Over the course of the rest of the article, Chapman then brings out his Twitter account and how it's making the courts much harder to support and give our president the latitude on matters. At the end of the article, it's said that maybe having Pence become president wouldn't be such a bad idea.

I believe this article is a great read. Not because I'm against Trump and what he's doing, but because it really tells us how his work is affecting the US Government and what they think of him. It's not that his policies are not in order either, but it's his lack of political intelligence. Maybe him being impeached and Pence coming in wouldn't be so bad. I'm all for having someone in the best interest of our country. After reading this article, you'll probably stand to agree that maybe that option would be the best interest of our country.
