4/29/2016 2 Comments TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP!Trump is causing mayhem again at his rallies. Trump was in California this week and many protesters met at this hotel to show him that he is not liked! As of right now it is looking like Trump is winning the republican party GOP nomination. Reading this article, it has me thinking, why would we want a person that causes so much mayhem as our president? Although he does rile things up, can it be the way the media reports on Trump that adds more fuel to the fire. I think that anything that is Trump, the news makes sure they use any tactic they can to catch our attention. In this article, they have the headline that says "Protesters Swarm Trump Event In California as Tensions Rise", just off the back they begin with a hook, and they use the upper and lower case font to catch the eye. As I read the article is not really about posters that swarmed an actual event, but about protesters that showed up at his hotel and how they began to riot a bit. In the article they failed to mention the amount of people that showed up to the hotel to protest, yet the picture they posted implies that it was a lot of people. This photo is shot with a narrow view so visual it seems like there’s more going on that really is. I feel that this is the type of misleading news that hurts our country. I would of liked if this article stated the amount of people that were protesting to have a better understanding of how Californians really feel about Trump. They go on to state that he spoke the next day and about 8,000 people showed up and there were riots after as well. Now when they give me that number of 8,000 and not state how many people actually rioted, it forces me to make my own assumptions based on the "facts" that they provided. When you force your readers to make assumptions I feel that it’s not efficient reporting of the news. I feel that news is trying to keep the fire that is Trump chaos going, and by omitting certain facts they will do just that.

I liked that you stated that the news did not really say how many people protested. And I agree, because I believe that they did that for a purpose. They wanted to make it seem like a bunch of people were just there giving Trump a hard time. But in reality they were expressing that they did not agree with Trump and what he stands for.

I think people want Donald Trump as a president because they, too, want mayhem against certain people. I think Trump has some sort of death wish because he knows that his thoughts and ideas would trigger certain individuals.
