Donald Trump has been a year in office, and he has not just been an unconventional or scandalous president, but a bad one. Let’s list some facts.Timelining his presidency, the first thing to mention is when Trump signed the first travel ban on January 27, 2017, barring citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries (Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen) from entering the United States for 90 days and all refugees from Syria 120 days.
This causes protests the very next day across airports of the whole country. In the next hours some federal judges blocked part of the order, and the 29th he defended it stating: “This is not about religion — this is about terror and keeping our country safe.” Showing since the beginning discrimination against individuals from other countries or religions.On February, in a meeting in the Oval Office, the FBI Director James Comey (reader, remember this guy for later) was asked by Trump to shut down an investigation into Michael Flynn, who withheld information from Vice President Mike Pence about his conversations with Sergey Kislyak, Russia’s ambassador to the US. Flynn was then, the National Security Adviser.During the first days of March Trump accused the former President Barack Obama of tapping his phones in 2016. The Justice Department said there was no evidence of this.
On March 6th, 2017, (six weeks after the first travel ban) Trump signs a second ban (Due to the first one being tied up). This one barred foreign nationals from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the United States for 90 days and all refugees for 120 days.Regarding to May, the 9th Trump fired James Comey, (yes, there he is) alleging that he mishandled the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server. The next day Trump reportedly reveals classified information to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and ambassador Sergey Kislyak during an Oval Office Meeting. And that’s not all. The very next day Trump claimed he fired Comey in part because of “this Russia thing”, contradicting earlier White House accounts.And we all remember when in June Trump declared the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement stating that it would help American businesses and workers. Trump argued that the withdrawal would be in accordance with his “America First” policy.
“I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris” he said. In accordance with Article 28 of the Paris Agreement, the earliest possible effective withdrawal date by the United States cannot be before November 4, 2020. Later the White House clarified they will abide the process.July, Trump Jr’s emails reveal he set up a 2016 meeting who promised dirt on Hillary Clinton. “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.
” The email said. Trump Jr replied, “If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer.” Before this Trump helped to write a misleading statement in which Trump Jr said a 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer was about adoption.On August Trump affirms that if North Korean missile tests continue, “they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen”. These words “fire and fury” later will be in the title of the book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House”.
A book with descriptions of Trump’s behavior, chaotic interactions among senior White House staff and derogatory comments about the Trump family by former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon.September comes with some quotes. 1. “Have a good time everybody”, Trump touring a shelter for people displaced by Hurricane Harvey. 2.
“Rocket man”, Trump called Kim Jong Un like this in a speech before the United Nations. Puerto Ricans “want everything to be done”, when the San Juan mayor slammed hurricane relief efforts.Well, one more quote in October when Mr. President told the widow of Sergeant La David T. Johnson, killed in an ambush in Niger, that Johnson “knew what he signed up for”.Those were just some examples about why I think this has been a bad administration and Trump doesn’t fit as president of the United States of Am
