The argument produced by “Trump
just lost a big court case because he’s a terrible liar,” by Ian Millhiser,
is in regards to Donald Trump and his administration’s attempt to cover up his
desire to discriminate against predominately Muslim nations. Millhiser hypothesizes
that through the addition of Venezuelan Government Officials and North Koreans
to a new version of the Muslim travel ban, they will appear to only be
concerned with the politics of the situation versus their genuine motive; to
ban all Muslims from the United States.
Millhiser provides several hyperlinks within his text, thus
sending the message he has nothing to hide. He’s established great credibility
for himself through this display of confidence in his work, and fearlessness of
allowing the public to fact check his claims. His article seems rational and
well sourced, although his heated tone rails throughout. My only dilemma with
lacing so much anger through an article is that: it will deter those opposing
from reading and those who agree will have little choice but to walk away
fuming.
His intended audience is clearly those who are in support of
Trump. Millhiser is attempting to persuade those who stand with our president
of his idiocy as well as his dishonesty. I cannot say I disagree that Trump is a liar, and that I feel he is a bad
one. Clearly there are those who do not feel he is a bad liar though, or
perhaps he wouldn’t be at the head of our country now.
