Donald Trump: 'I'd bring back a hell of a lot worse than Waterboarding'
This story comes from the Independent, a more balanced paper, and the article itself is written by David Lawler.
This article is almost instantly controversial, because it is about Donald Trump. This article is the follow up to a statement made by Donald Trump at a TV Debate with other presidential candidates in New Hampshire.
One of the questions posed to the candidates was their thoughts towards the information extraction/torture technique of waterboarding, to which Trump remarked how he would not only keep the method but introduce new, worse methods.
Personally, I think Donald Trump is particularly bad at -among other things- answering questions on the spot, and often brushes over the issue or says something completely ridiculous. To name one example would be in the same debate he was confronted by Jeb Bush one of his biggest opponents about how he manipulated legislation to knock down an elderly woman's home in order to create 'limousine space' for one of his casinos to which a general paraphrase of his response was 'Sh'. The article also mentions how when pressed to finally answer numerous questions given by the Independent reporter Trump replied, 'One day you'll see'.
This article was very objective about Trumps campaign, it did not use emotive language to persuade the reader in any direction. I also noticed how this story was not included in any other papers which could be an indication on the expected audience of the Independent, those more interested in political debate than sensationalist stories.
This is a very interesting news story on Donald Trump and connects with the recent outrage of statements he has put forward. You have included everything in which weekly news needs to consist of , well done.
