Jennifer Rubio
Periodically, as I skim newspaper articles on line or in the local papers for an article that peaks my interest. This week the article that peaked my attention was one wrote by Jennifer Rubio of the Washington Post titled “Trumps campaign turmoil suggests his greatest weakness”. (Robin, paragraph 4) At first I thought hmm this is just another campaign dirty article about Presidential hopeful Donald Trump, but as I read it, I thought deeper about the message the author was trying to convey. This is an article about lack of character, self-respect, weakness, self-actualization and the overall inability to become an example for the American citizens. This article is not just about the Presidential hopeful Mr. Trump, it’s about what is missing in the United States at this time. In the article Robin states that “What may be most disturbing to GOP onlookers is that all of this is now entirely “normal” in the Trump campaign circus. This is powerful statement that has truth to it. The entire campaign has been a haphazard mismanaged ring or character, and I do mean characters, of people who seem to

lack in ethical decisions and American values. The behavior of the entire “circus” campaign has been perpetual and no one knows what will rear its ugly head next. This type of campaign in unpredictable and reckless in nature, often times taking down others in the wake of it path.

What have we come to in America when one of our only candidates is volatile and intellectually unfit to run for president? Jennifer Robin also states “that when forced into a corner, Trump will crack.” (Robin, Paragraph 8) Unfortunately, Mr. Trumps has a delicate, but monstrous ego, which enthralls his explosive unpredictable behavior. This campaign has been a whirl wind of irrational behavior, with back pedaling and rationalizing bad behavior, instead of just admitting when he has
errored. This article is a wealth of information that my family and myself can utilize in years to come. There is an example of pure unadulterated irony, that shows how others perceive us within our world and the example we set forth in public. This is an article about how we should behave during times of crisis and times of god fortune, as well as respecting others. This article shows my children and grandchildren that if we have hearts that are honest, pure and of good intent we will go further with the respect of others then we will anywhere else in the world. The entire article can be summoned up in one anonymous quote I came across years ago, “Leadership is not a position or a title, it is action and example.” (Unknown)
