Trumps Tweets

While I support some of the ideas Trump employs, I do not agree with the way he carries out addressing some of these issues. To turn to twitter as a way of communicating, especially as the leader of this country, that is unprofessional and not the proper way to lead the people of this country. At one point, Trump and Clinton were in a twitter war. This was before Trump was elected as president, but the fact that the two candidates trying to lead this country were sitting behind a computer screen arguing back and forth, that was a bit childish. As a grown up and potential leader of America, one has to have strong communication skills and address issues in a manner that is professional and in a respectable way. Trumps tweets also come off as humorous in a way, and almost a bit shocking, like "wow did our president really just tweet that?" I do like the policies and ideas he believes in, but he needs to work on projecting his ideas in a better way.

NY time review of Cartel Land

The New York Times talked highly of director, Matthew Heinman, but mainly discussed some of his major downfalls. The article believes the film had no directional point of view. I think the point of the film was to not have just one, but many points of view to give the watchers a better understanding through different perspectives. The article tells that Dr. Mireles and Mr. Foley only share the same interests in guns and some sort of justification for their groups, but other than that, there is no correlation between them and neither show any sort of logic to the ongoing problems. I think it some terms that is correct, but it is nice to have opposing viewpoints to get a better understanding from both views. Also, there really isn't a valuable solution to be mentioned, as the drug war has been going on for awhile. The article also stated that the film moves so quickly that it doesn’t give you much time or space to think through the serious, urgent issues it raises. I beg to differ as even the most gruesome scenes left a lasting mental note in my head, keeping me wondering about those particular events.
