Long Response:

Read the story on page A1 "Trump's tweet raises specter of obstruction" and please answer the following questions.

1. What could have been wrong with president Donald Trump's tweet regarding the firing of Michael Flynn? Trumps tweet regarding the firing of Micheal Flynn could be wrong in the sense that the private situation was publicly spilled and somewhat picking on another person. Trumps tweet bashed Flynn for his actions and justified why he was fired, thus Trump's way of picking on Flynn and making the situation public could've been dealt differently.

2. Do you think that Trump knew what was going on with Flynn before he fired him?
I think Trump knew a little but on what was going on with Flynn before he was fired, but his tweet suggests he doesn't know much. He was lacking information to correctly support his comment regarding the Flynn situation, the  main reason I think he didn't know much about a Flynn before was because his lack of support an accurate justification.
3. Do you think that Twitter is an appropriate place for a president to be waging battles against his opponents?
No, as a formal president and leader of America, all conflicts should be regarded formally instead of twitter, which is meant for entertainment. His continuous use of twitter to start battles with other countries or people shows he is misusing twitter.
4. What do you think Twitter should be used for?
I think twitter should be used for entertainment purposes and less news because twitter is a social media site that is used to entertain users. Trumps use for twitter was inappropriate and the situation could've been discussed differently.
5. How should people get their news?
I think people should get there news on news sites like CNN instead of twitter. Getting news from official news journalist ensures the accuracy of the news, however getting news from twitter can be incorrect as well as not trustable.
6. Is a social media site something you can trust to give you real news?
There are some social media sites you can trust, for example snapchat because it partners with news companies, like CNN, to provide accurate news. Therefore, there are some social media sites you can trust to provide one with accurate information that is trustworthy, but some social media sites, like twitter, aren't always trustworthy to news.
