Donald Trump has referred to the media as “dishonest” peddlers of “fake news” who are an “enemy of the American people.” How will such statements likely influence future exchanges between the President and the press?
What will be an ideal response?
The charge that Donald Trump is “thin skinned” and ego-driven could factor into this
answer if students have had an opportunity to discuss his argumentative approach in class. At
minimum, the ideal answer should note the need to preserve a climate in which productive
communication can flourish and note the hazards of statements that seem provocative and
antagonistic.
