Decent Essays

No doubt remains regarding Ms. Mair’s hostile feelings towards the Trump campaign, and the impact he will have on American politics if he wins. As in all opinion articles, the reader must consider the source of information, and what that source has to gain or lose from the message they are trying to convey.
