Blunderbuss President Trump

On Wednesday, March 8^th, the National Review published an article by Ben Shapiro called, “Why We Should Ignore Trump’s Rhetoric.” The article describes the differences in what the president says and what he actually does, and how the media displays the difference. The media spends more time on what President Trump Tweets than they do on his actions as President of the United States. Shapiro explains that in the past the words of the president held more meaning and was a main reason for the public’s support and trust, but the past our Presidents have been more eloquent with their words.  Obama was used as an example because his words almost seemed honey coated when he addressed the public and he never called out one group of people in such a way we have seen with President Trump. The author calls Trump a “Blunderbuss,” and explains that the American people are better off ignoring what he says and paying more attention to his actions. I agree somewhat with this article as most of us would be better off ignoring the presidents Tweets, but I feel that sometimes they can be hard to ignore as can baffle a person. I do think that president Trump is changing the way American’s view their president and it might be a good thing.  However I do agree when Shapiro talk about the media blowing the tweets up for views instead of reporting on the action happening in Washington D.C.
