I think that Trump may not necessarily care about others, despite the fact that he has openly tried to show he does. Personally, I feel that Donald Trump's idea to send in a strike team was a good idea. Although, I do not condone the loss of life. The operation should have been more carefully planned so we do not lose any lives, whether or not they are American. Something that people understand is that drones may be able to strike there targets, but they often kill more innocent people than the people they are aiming for. That's a known fact. Using drones can get the job done, but I do not want anybody who is innocent to die or be injured.

My opinion on this article is that it is a comedial and serious situation. on Tuesday night President Donald Trump gave a speech to Congress. The two people sitting behind President Trump is Mike Pence and someone else that I don't recognize. They have hearts drawn by them as well. I think that might be comically stating that everything tht the President says they follow with

in the video even though more people died he only focused on the only american that got his life taken away. Trump seemed not to care about the other people who also died who arent american and that shows how pro-america he is. He, mike pence, and the other white guy followed trump in clapping for ryan the dead guy for basically dying for us. And in the other image it says yes to only guns and not to colored people,political correctness,and etc. Which shows that white people are only there for themselves.

In the image with Mike Pence and the speaker of the house drawn to look at Trump during his speech towards the Congress almost lovingly as they love and enjoy everything Trump has to say. We watched in class small clips of the speech where he talked about an abundance of things starting from taking precautions of radical Islam terrorism, the construction of the wall of Mexico's borders, and to the tribute towards a fallen U.S Navy Seal. Honestly, it's so unsettling to see how much people support him and his views on some things and how people really respected him for the tribute towards the U.S Navy Seal and called the mission successful when 29 people died, him with along the 28 other people who were from Yemen died, most of them being innocent women and children.

I respect that President Trump acknowledged the live that was lost during this raid. But in my opinion, he wouldn't have to do that if he used the drones that America has been using so we wouldn't lose any lives instead of sending someone. This raid caused 28 other people (woman and children) to lose their lives. He's saying its for the good of Americans but he's technically "manipulating us", because he's talking about whites when he says Americans not everyone else.

I am surprised as to how fascism has affected the US so heavily in this current Trump era. Things do not look good for many colored and diverse people.

In the first picture where both the vice president and speaker of the house are behind trump symbolizing that they are head over heels for the things trump is saying or wants to do. Most of them being major issues such as immigration enforce and taking away the affordable care act. My reaction is they are in a position where they would prefer a white supremacy fascist country so if the person whom is in charge is taking lead to that then they are all for it.

In the video it seems as Trump cares about the loss of the fallen sailor, but in reality he doesn't care about anyone other than himself. Trump should have thought of a better way to get rid of terrorism since no terrorist were harmed only womyn and kids, and an American sailor.

The hearts around the guys in the back show that they are with Donald Trumps speech and will probably support whatever he does. In the video, they were staring at him and had their full attention towards him. They are like trumps minions and will do whatever to be and stay on his good side and agree with whatever he has to say.

The cartoon from Pat Bagley, The Salt Lake Tribune, there is a big wall surrounding the US, the american flag, the state of liberty torch behind the wall, and the place titled " Angrywhitemenistan." The rest of the world behind the wall reading the list of things that aren't allowed which is everything that isn't already in the walls so nothing can be allowed in except the trade of guns. That this is Trump's idea of a paradise for the american people, keeping "all the bad" and keeping all americans safe from them.

The image above shows a barbed wire wall with the American flag on it and the Statue of Liberty on the other side of it. On the wall it shows the signs of whats allowed and what isn't. On the top of the wall there is a man saying "it's going to be paradise" and the world on the outside of the wall. This image represents Donald Trumps getting rid of those he doesn't believe belong in America. That without them America will be a better place.

The cartoon on the left where it says "Angrywhitemenistan" explains how the US would be a paradise without no political correctness, peminazis, thug culture and even 'homos' as well as much more and WITH guns. Not to mention the huge wall that is there to block the people out, that Trump is saying will be a paradise without. The cartoon on the right was his speech that he made 29 people passing away, however he only mentioned 1 out of the 29 people who was American. As long as we acknowledge our American people then it is all good which Trump interpreted as he spoke about only 1 person who was American. This is just the cartoon made by Dr. Suess where it stated, "... it was foreign children, so it didnt matter anyway."

in my opinion i think that president trump is actually trying to like the people, he is showing effort i guess. The cartoon on the left says "angrywhitemenistan" shows how america would become better without all these thugs culture, homos, mexicans and muslims. And yet he allows people with guns in my opinion i think that insane. The picture on the right was a speech he had mad men a group of people had passed away in which out of the people that passed he only mentioned one.

I think that president Donald Trump don't realize that he is making America harmed.Donald trump gave his first speech to the congress speaking to United States to believe in America and our future. The cartoon also has an image of Mike Pence and Paul Ryan in the back of him with hearts over their head. this means that they are satisfied in what Trump was saying.

Personally,I can say Donald Trump thinks what he's doing is helping America but it's actually harming it.I also think he's going off of what would be best for white people and his supporters don't care.

I believe Trump tried to make America better and tried to make up his mistake.The cartoon on right show Paul Ryan and Mike Pence have show love around trump he an white man back and made plan for America. My reaction to news was shock that he made plan for commnity and around states and plan to stop Isis.

I think it is so funny how trup has his fingers like that all the time he speech. This picture is basically saying trump reapts the same the same thing everytime he gives a speech it is really sad and this is about to be our crazy lifestyle. ON the daily show they showed how trump talked about blacks and muslims in a nice way. Im confused do you ike us or dont you?

According to the second image, basically people around the world will be judged when coming to the U.S. just by how they look and most of their rights, liberty, and life has been taken away...the world rose up with hate and most people don't really noticed it...people are getting brainwashed everyday without even noticing (T.V, School, Music, and other everyday living materials)...the people who are wise with the right state of mind and heart has open their eyes and realize what's going and of course the religious ones who have more understanding in life.

The second image with Donald Trump and two other men stands out the most. So in the image its visible that there is "lyrics" on the stands and he's reading them and everything that Donald is saying is music to the men's ears. They are loving and applauding everything that he says. The image is referring back to Feb. 2 when Trump gave his first speech to congress.

In this image it's showing how the people behind Donald Trump support him and are loving his speech. In his speech, Trump mentioned a variety of interesting things that people didn't expect him to say. For example, when he mention the Muslims, Jewish, and African Americans. Also, on the Daily Show it talked about cutting taxes, this is suppose to be helping the middle class but actually it'll be helping the rich people gain more money for themselves.

The first image is saying that there are "angrywhitemenistan" who are doing things,bad things against racial groups and they are doing these things because they think President Trump will agree with them. The second image is saying that the two men behind Trump agree with everything he is saying and that everything that comes out of his mouth is like music to them,it's paradise.

In his speech i dont think he really cared about the navy soldier who died in a raid in yemen. He acknowledged him but didn't really pay his respects. Also the speaker and mike pence were loving what he said.

He said Obama care was a disaster, how can help be a disaster trump would never understand how selfish he is. He tells people things they wanna hear the people believe it starts to like him and that is how the world becomes worse. People are easy to get tricked into something

in the first picture, mike pence and the other man (i cant remember his name) are falling in love with what trump is saying, in other words, they are supporting the things trump wants to do, or says. in the video, you can see that theyre happy theyre sitting behind trump. you can also tell that theyre head over heels for him just by then way theyre looking at him. they could possibly be the "ANGRYWHITEMENISTAN."

I think or believe that Donald Trump is just a dumb president he honestly doesn't care about colored and diverse people in this era.I don't condone his hate for colored and diverse people because if he was in the same struggle he wouldn't be hating on colored and diverse kind of people. We deserve much more than that what does he actually want. His set of mind is not right this world ain't sunshine and rainbows life hits you as hard as it can I can stand on my own ten feet when I am going through life's struggles. I will go out and get what im worth im willing to take the hits life will throw at me because thats who I am.

i also failed to mention that the second picture (the one that has ANGRYWHITEMENISTAN on the wall) is also promoting gun violence, well violence in general. behind the wall is the statue of liberty and what looks like factories.

In Trump's speech, Mike Pence and Paul Ryan looked like they were adoring what Trump was saying. Trump was trying to make the "foreigners" as a major problem to the U.S.

During president Trumps speech he used a calmer tone than normal. Even though he changes the way he speaks and changes the things he says, he is still the same miserable person that lies to the nation and all of its people. President trump recognizes a white U.S navy seal but doesn't recognize the other 28 individuals that lost their lives as well that day. President trump is still trying to build the wall which will be an incredibly huge waste of time and money. The country needs to stand together and open their eyes to see behind all of trumps words and realize that he is lying to all of us. Donald trump allowed coal ash ton be dumped in streams which can lead to our drinking water, not to mention he also shut down a lot of our clean drinking water programs. As the people of america we have to change our "leader" to save not only ourselves but our neighbors as well.

What i see is a wall that has a yes,no list and i also see that it says AngryWhiteMenistan with a man armed on top of the wall with the Statue of liberty and factories behind it. What this means is that this guy that is armed will shoot anyone who is not allowed.

All of this matters because if Trump builds a wall and kick out anyone he says is a threat or is not allowed in America. It matters because nothing will ever be the same after that happens
