Trump's Tax Returns

   Trump has been keeping a lot of information relating his personal records from the public. Such as his medical records and tax returns. After many many months, Trump has finally released a letter from his doctor relating his health. But it doesn't seem like the public will be seeing his tax returns anytime soon. Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr. says that his father's tax returns are too distracting for the public according to this CNN article . He says "he's got a 12,000-page tax return that would create ... financial auditors out of every person in the country asking questions that would detract from (his father's) main message". Representative Steve King, a trump supporter, says that there would be different interpretations from everyone about Trump's tax return, and that he thinks it's a good idea that Trump is not releasing them. While Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton, has released almost 40 years of tax returns.

Another Shooting

   Yet another wrongful shooting has occurred in Columbus, Ohio, according to this CNN article. A 13-year old black boy, was a suspect in a robbery. He was in possession of a bebe gun that looked very similar to a gun that Columbus police use. When being arrested the boy, Tyree King, had pulled out the bebe gun, and the officer shot him, trying to defend himself. The gunshot ended up killing the child. Columbus Police Chief, Kim Jacobs, said that "This is the last thing that a police officer wants to do in their career. Unfortunately ... it becomes necessary at times to defend themselves,". She also informed the public that, the officer is being suspended for a week and he will have to meet with a psychiatrist before returning to duty. But it also depends on what is found from the investigation. In my opinion, I don't think he should be allowed to return to duty, because the police brutality is getting out of control. Too many police officers are getting away with murdering innocent black citizens. Even though in this case, the victim had a weapon that looked similar to a lethal weapon. The officer still should have made sure of the danger, before taking action.

Is Trump fit for president?

       Is Trump fit for presidency? Most people (hopefully) will say no. Events at a church in Flint, Michigan, will further prove that. In a video that can be found in this CNN article, shows Trump being interrupted by the pastor mid speech. You can hear her say "Mr. Trump, I invited you here to thank us for what we've done in Flint, not give a political speech.", followed by Trump attempting to talk about the successes of Flint. However, he was interrupted by heckling members of the audience. One lady asked about his discrimination against black tenants, and another brought to light that Trump had called black people lazy..  As a result Trump quickly ended his speech, and it seems like he had to leave out a majority of his speech, so that he could quickly exit off stage.
     Trump had started his speech by criticizing Mexico, and continued to focus on the negative manufacturing and outsourcing that Flint has suffered from. He never spoke about the actual steps the people of Flint did to fix their water problems, never thanked them either. Earlier this year, when Trump was asked about the situation in Flint, his answer was very vague. He said, that it's a shame that something like that is happening, and that it shouldn't be happening. He also said he didn't want to comment about it anymore and that "they've got a very difficult problem".
    Trump mainly focused on politics during his speech, being very inconsiderate to the people of  Flint, despite what they have done. Which why, in my opinion, Trump is not well fit for Commander in Chief of The United States. He only focuses on bashing his opponents, rarely talks about his policies, other than "building a wall", and he doesn't recognize the hard work that Americans do to better this country.

Oh Trump :/

   Presidential Candidate Trump is to appear on the "Dr. Oz Show" in the near future. Trump had planned to release the results of his most recent physical examination. In his entire presidential campaign, Trump has not released any information regarding his health, yet he is constantly accusing his opponent, Hillary Clinton, that she is withholding information about her health. Which is very hypocritical. Trump did plan to release his medical records on a recent episode of the "Dr. Oz Show", but according to this NY Times article, he is now just going to discuss general health and welfare. It is said that Trump chose Dr. Oz for as his medium to release his health information, because Dr. Oz is not only a republican but also has a large amount of audience members.Will we ever know Trump's medical past? Or will he just continue to accuse other of having medical secrets instead? Who knows at this point, Trump is a mess.

Doctor's Orders

    This past weekend, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton showed signs of illness and had the public worried for her health. It was later revealed by her campaign that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia according to a CNN article. Clinton had to leave the 9/11 memorial on Sunday early, because she was feeling sick. She said she felt a little over heated and dizzy but once she returned to the van, where there was AC, she felt fine quickly. She admits that she should've listened to her doctors wishes of taking time off to recover, but the issue was that she could not miss the event at the 9/11 memorial. She was fully committed to that event. It's understandable as to why she went to the memorial despite her condition, because the media would accuse of her of being unpatriotic, which would be devastating to her campaign. Clinton now confirms that she will be listening to her doctors "wise advice" and taking time off to recover.

Obama's Request to China

    According to this CNN article Obama lands in China on Saturday, and he says that he wants china "to exercise restraint and emphasize the benefits of adhering to international norms". He says that by having a gain in power results in a gain of responsibilities. Which Obama has told China many times, referencing their disputes in the South China Sea. Obama previewed his speech that he will give when in China. He says "Part of what I've tried to communicate to President Xi is that the United States arrives at its power, in part, by restraining itself"... "You know, when we bind ourselves to a bunch of international norms and rules it's not because we have to, it's because we recognize that over the long term, building a strong international order is in our interests". Obama says that the US has been very strong in responding to China's "assertiveness". And that there will need to be compromises.

Trump going to Mexico

    According to this ABC News article, Donald Trump has been invited to Mexico by President Peno Neito. Which is a real shock to people all around the country considering Trump's campaign is mostly centered on building a wall between Mexico and America. Neito says that he doesn't nessecarily agrees with Trump, but he is ready to work whomever is to be the next POTUS. Neito is hoping that the conversation that Trump and him will have, will be "very open and constructive", and that he wants to make the border better and more secure as well. Neito is to meet with Democratic Nominee, Hillary Clinton in the near future as well.
