Current Events Quiz #3.1

-

(I was absent on Tuesday, so that's why this is late.)

Short Answer:

1. Sean Foley and Andrew Nestor
2. So that he could use more of that public land for public use
3. To keep up with inflation, offer competitive pay for faculty, and to improve maintenance in lab classrooms.
4. Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma), Lamar Jackson (Louisville), and Bryce Love (Stanford).
5. I'd want to see Wonder because I've read the book and I enjoyed it.

Long Response:

1. Trump shouldn't have voiced his opinion on Twitter. I'd be much better for him just to tell the facts because that way people won't attack him as much. Trump shouldn't even have posted that update on Twitter because it's a social media platform, not meant for important political figures like the president.
2. I think Trump probably knew what was going on with Flynn before he fired him. It seems like too much of a coincidence that Trump fired him at that the same time Flynn was lying to the FBI.
3. I don't think Twitter is a good place for the president to wage political battles. On a social media platform, everyone can see what you've posted. You have to be careful with what you say.
4. I think Twitter should be used for people to update followers about their lives, or companies tweeting about important updates. Important political figures such as the president should not have a Twitter account.
5. People should get their news from a reputable news source. These sources should always have evidence when they share news so people can know that it's true.
6. You can't really trust social media when it gives you "news." You can never really know whether it's true or not, because a lot of social media users who post news, lie just for attention. Especially if the news is just from an individual user.
