On April 12, 2019 the president, Donald Trump, tweeted a controversial video, that many think is unnecessary. The video includes remarks made by congresswomen Llahn Omar about 9-11, and press coverage from the 9-11 attacks. Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the house, has asked Trump to take down the tweet, but Trump hasn’t removed it yet. Some people think that Trump did this to “incite violence against the muslim lawmaker.” Which is why Nancy Pelosi also said that she was attempting to keep the congresswomen safe after the video was released. As you may have already guessed, many democrats have criticized Trump for the video, whereas many republicans have shown their support for the president by backing him up.

1. Why do you think Trump made this tweet?
I think that Trump made this tweet to make Llahn Omar and the democrats look bad and make them look like they don't care about 9-11
2. Do you think that Trump should have to take down the video and why?
I think that he should have to take the video down if violence against Omar happens but if there is no threat it should stay.

Well done Dominic! I do think your should have talked about what said specfically.
I think he made this tweet to get back at Nancy Pelosi because he is just feeding her full of fire since they fight all the time. Yeah I think he should have because I think he has no respect for any women inculding her.
I disagree with you because the tweet was meant for Omar, but I see how it could impact Nancy Pelosi and maker her look bad for supporting someone who downplayed 9-11. I think he does have respect for women, but when someone makes those comments she deserves a tweet like Trumps.
I don't think President Trump did it to get anyone hurt. We don't know what remarks the congresswoman made, but maybe President Trump didn't like the remarks.
If it is not appropriate, President Trump should take it down and not be hurtful to people.
I think Trump tweeted this to show that Ilhan Omar is somewhat of a bigot, as she has made anti-Semitic remarks and downplayed 9/11 as "some people who did something." I do not believe Trump should have to take this video down as it is his first amendment right to post whatever he wants and in no way did the video call for viloence against Representative Omar.
I completly agree with you because Trump was just trying to show the world the meanings of her quotes and at this point there is no point of removing the video.
I think President Trump made the video to show that he cares of the 9-11 attacking and that he disagrees with Llahn Omar and that she should care about 9-11 and all of the incidents that were invloved in the 9-11 attacks. I also think Trump should take down the video because it is just giving the media and others another reason to hate him and we don't need that.
I agree with you because Trump definantly cares about 9-11 and he was just trying to point out that she doesn't care. I disagree with you aswell because I don't think he should take down the video because all the damage it could've caused has already been caused.
1) I agree as well. I think that he really wanted to make them look bad and wanted it to look like they didn't really care at all about 911. I think this was smart of him cause it was exposing them.
2) Yes I really do agree. If it isn't bothering him, I think that the video should stay up. I think it shows on what ahppened and that the story should be told through the video. I think that the video should stay up.
I think he made this video because he's Donald Trump and he treats people the way they treat him and to make the deomcrats look bad. I don't really needs to come down if there is no violience or threat I think it should be fine.
