Softening on Trump? Remember this. - The Washington Post
Keywords:
Tags: Current Focus, United States,
This Washington Post editorial following the New York primary points out the misstatements, exaggerations, and extreme statements that have characterized the Trump campaign, about women, minorites, the media, and other candidates.
The anti-Trump campaign in April 2016 following efforts by Trump on the election stump to complete a narrative about everything to be "rigged" to win voter support
04/22/2016
Trump continues to talk about "a rigged system" says RNC chairman Preibus to win voter support and complete his narrative that a lot of the system is rigged. This even though says Priebus, Trump won 90% of the delegates in New York with about 60% of the vote, and other experts point to a different outcome in other early primaries without many candidates splitting the Republican vote.

How the media created the Trump surge- $1.9 billion in media coverage according to the Times, a lack of proper vetting of the candidate, and missing the plight of struggling working class voters
03/26/2016
The media may have also made the mistake of thinking the Trump candidacy would fade, that it was some kind of television publicity move. Other reasons played a part- the fragmentation in the vote with many candidates, the lack of candidates who could seriously connect with voter anxiety about security, drugs, uncertainty about jobs, Trump's experience as a television personality simplifying issues with slogans. The media reflection comes in March 2016 with a series of wins by Trump in southern and midwestern states. Journalists like Tom Brokaw feel stymied by the change in attitudes of viewers who did not take vetting seriously when he tried, and veteran journalist Bob Schieffer also sees a change in attitudes. Voters seemed to be sending a message about the disconnect with them of the elites. The whole process dragged down civility and values in public life with the deterioration in the campaigning to very low levels by March 2016, leaving the media a lot to reflect on and correct.

Donald Trump's criticism of the 2011 Alabama immigration law and his stand on immigration calling for large scale deportation in August 2015
08/23/2015
Trump was sharply critical of the 2011 Alabama immigration law designed to promote self-deportation in calling it "crazy" and "maniacal." What changed in 2015 when Trump called for large scale deportation of illegal immigrants during the presidential campign is not clear. Two other developments happened since the Alabama law- the U.S. economy had largely recovered from the worst effects of the recession and immigration from Mexico was down to low levels, a trickle not seen in a long time as a result of the recession. A third development was that President Obama had pursued a policy of aggressive deportation in his years in office followed by an executive order on immigration late in the second term granting illegal immigrants a pathway to citizenship.

Trump and His Debts: A Narrow Escape
Wall Street Journal 01/04/2016
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
