Is Trump ruining the country?

Are the President's actions helping or hurting America?

  Millions of people all over the U.S. have mixed feelings about Donald Trump. Some believe that he is the best president that we have had in a long time, and others say that he is the worst president and that he should be impeached.
  “I judge Donald Trump on his results and what he has done. I think that the impact he makes after he has made a decision determines people’s views on him as a person,” said Mr. DeNofa, history teacher.    
  Results of Trump’s actions really do impact a lot of people’s views on him. People will judge him on the consequences of the actions that he has made.  
  “I think Donald Trump has done a good job addressing issues that we don’t like. It shows that he notices things that we generally dislike, and that he will do something about it,” said Mr. DeNofa.
  Donald Trump is very good at getting the word out about problems in the U.S and ways we can improve them. Whenever there is an issue, he will address it to the press right away, and let us know what he is planning to do to fix it.
  “Donald Trump can improve his manners, especially when he calls people out. Even if they did something wrong, that is no excuse for Trump to lash out like he has been doing,” said Mr. DeNofa.   Donald Trump does not seem to think before he acts. If someone says something rude or offensive to the president, that is no excuse for him to lash out at them. For example, a disabled reporter criticized him, and Trump mocked him and made fun of him for being disabled. The president should not have done that, no matter what the other person said. It is rude of him as not only a president, but also as a person to say something that hurtful to someone.
  “[Regarding the U.S Immigration Policy] I believe that we should have no open borders. We should have strict laws and forbid any illegal immigrants to enter the U.S,” said Mr. DeNofa.
  Donald Trump has made several statements on the immigration policy and what he wants to do about it. The U.S. is very populated, and we need to prevent any more illegal immigrants coming over to make it even more crowded.
  Donald Trump isn’t a bad president, but he certainly isn’t the best. There are a lot of things he could improve on, and some things he already does well. People all over the country will always continue to be divided when it comes to Donald Trump.
