I am personally torn between the idea that Trump is unaware of how to properly gain the support of the different groups in America, or if he knows he can't and is trying to merely gain attention. Everyone knows who Donald Trump is, and has at least some idea of his values. This may have been his initial intention: to get people talking about his ideas. In this since, you could say Donald Trump is a success. Specifically speaking on the terms of this article, I found it quite offensive. Being a Christian myself, I saw the methods Trump used in which he thought would appeal to Christians quite disheartening. The fact that he would think such small surface aspects of a complex region would appeal to people who are already appalled by his earlier claims is quite ridiculous to say the least. Even so, Donald Trump is, in more ways than one, notorious.

"Does Donald Trump have a God Problem?" Jasmine Rodriguez 4th Period
At the Family Research Council's Values Voter Summit in Washington DC, Donald Trump tried to gain the right of religious activists by making himself appear as a devoted Christian. His tactics were no so convincing, including one of his strongest points being that he owned a Bible with his name inscribed on the cover. By simply saying "I believe in God", "I believe in the Bible", and "I'm a Christian", Donald Trump expected to immediately gain the support of all Christians across the nation, and perhaps people of other faiths seeing that he is a person of "great spirituality" (generally speaking). It was obvious that Trump's only goal was to gain support. People of Christian faith did not see any signs of someone with a real relationship with God, or someone who cared about it for that matter. This, yet another, ridiculous attempt at gaining followers may have been done on purpose. The outrageous attempt may have theoretically failed, but it succeeded in getting attention from national news sights.

We can't keep entertaining this man if all he's going to do is use these various facades to appeal to what he thinks we want. Sir, what we are looking for in a president is someone who genuinely cares about the well being of the country and will try to lead and represent the country as a whole all while actually knowing how to accomplish these task effectively. You truly will not get anywhere with this fake attentiveness ploy. Kiyanna Elliott
