What is your opinion of the Trump presidency a little over a month in?
Jesus Vazquez, junior, economics
“There is a lack of understanding in the population over which our government is actually governing. The political values, or political language that we (speak) as citizens is not the same as the political language that our politicians are speaking. The current government that is in place is not beneficial for the people that live within the boundaries.”
Dimitry Shevchenko, graduate student, philosophy
“I’m not really happy about it. I don’t like his policies, I hope they will fail. The Muslim ban, the wall, all of these policies, I don’t like them. Just get rid of all the racists and all the sexists.”

“Really what matters the most is that human rights are upheld and people are treated the way that human beings are supposed to be treated. I feel like the current administration is an abomination to everything an administration should be. It’s ridiculous and I have a lot of really close friends who his policies and opinions would really affect and I am worried about it, and rather angry about it as well.”
Elisa McLellan, senior, communication
“I think it’s a lot better, because I think some changes need to be made here in America. I think we get caught up a lot in the politics and politicians, and not so much in reform and change and keeping jobs here. In the world today, we’ve become so intercultural, that sometimes we forget that we have to take care of America first. I’m impressed with what I’ve heard. I’ll be more impressed in a year when some stuff gets implemented.”
