Donald Trump is running the White House like a business. That's the problem

http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/23/politics/trump-flynn-russia/index.html

This article is talking about the fact that Donald Trump is running this government more like a business than an actual put together system. He is not taking things seriously and properly and like what happened last week when he leaked classified information about our military to the Russian government. He asked two of his top intelligence officials to publicly knock down the idea that his 2016 presidential campaign had colluded with the Russians in the days after then-FBI Director James Comey revealed a federal investigation was underway into the matter, according to reporting by The Washington Post and CNN. And both the men, the Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and National Security Agency head Mike Rogers, were uncomfortable with the request and turned it down. 

This relates to the content we have discussed in class because we have discussed the roles of the president. Whether he has the power to control anything or release any information is sometimes up to him but the rest of the time it would be from the rest of the government like the Congress and Senate to decide. We have also discussed the role that the government plays as far as limiting the president's power or turning down any ideas he would have. I think that topic was relevant to this article considering that the article is talking about specifically that he may not be running our government the right way.

My opinion on this whole article and what they are discussing is that I think they should put some limits on his power and what he does or there could be some serious issues. If Trump runs this government keeping up the possible mistakes he could make there could be some bad things that would happen to our government and could tear it apart. If our government falls apart or he makes another huge mistake our country could be at stake. 

How Government Secrets Are Declassified and Disclosed

Recently our president Donald Trump talked in a meeting about government secrets of the Islamic State to the Russians. This jeopardized the ally's intelligence source and has raised interest in legal issues surrounding disclosures of classified information. Luckily Mr. Trump has the authority to disclose the information. It is part of his constitutional powers as commander in chief. Apparently Trump's attempt to declassify the information didn't work and it is still out there.

This has to do with what we have discussed in class because we have talked about the powers of the president and what he has as far as commanders in anything. He can shut down any classified information and has the constitutional authority to control what happens in anything. He used those powers to recently to try and disclose the classified information he gave out but it apparently didn't make a difference. This just shows how powerful the president can actually be in the government and powerful enough to control or shut down anything that could put the government in jeopardy.

My opinion on this situation is that I think that it was a bit careless of the president to spill the classified information to the Russians during a meeting. This could actually be so bad and if he does it again with anything that could be worse he put our country possibly in danger and jeopardize our safety. The president isn't supposed to leak any information about our government if he is responsible so again I think it was very careless and unprofessional of him to do that. He needs to be monitored on anything he could say or prepare what he is gonna say better so there is no potential risk of this happening again.

Trump Fires FBI Director James Coney

Recently, Trump fired an FBI member James Coney and it has brought a bit of chaos around the nation today. He swept away the man who is responsible for the bureau's investigation into whether members of his campaign team colluded with Russia in its interference in last year's election. It sent a shock and surprise ricocheting through Washington ends the career of the man who was once seen as the unimpeachable and nonpartisan ideal of how a law enforcement officer should behave. Trump said that he was getting too close to the White House. 

This applies to the content we have been discussing in class because it has to do with the bureaucracy and we have discussed how hard it is to get fired in the system. To see this actually happen in the system and etc. is pretty cool to see considering it is a rare sight or ting that happens in the system and it has caused a good amount of controversy in the nation.

My opinion on the whole situation is that it seems very excessive and a hassle because Donald Trump's reasoning to firing him seems a little pointless. The firing drama has brought a lot of complaint and that it's supposed to be nonpartisan and impeachable.
