Homework #5

I feel this article took on an interesting point of view on the controversial topic of Trump's presidency. Although this article is nothing particularly new among the countless other "opinion pages" on having a politically unruly president; I agree with Robert Zarotsky's sentiments regarding Trump's relavance to "Society of the Spectacle" by Guy Debord. Debord states in his book "...spectacular power can similarly deny whatever it likes, once or three times over, and change the subject, knowing full well there is no danger of any riposte.". Which I believe to be more true than ever considering Trump's multiple attempts and lack of attempts to take responsibility for his actions and know the appropriate actions to take as our new president.
