A politician is a person who is currently in hold of a position or is seeking an office within a government. They gain power by election being either voted for by people or by a definitive group in the government. And a politician’s purpose is to support and create laws or policies that would govern the land and its people. In Thomas L. Friedman’s op-ed article, he stated that "politicians see evil, hear evil, and speak evil" in order to present to the citizens that politicians have taken their power for granted and to indirectly speak to the politicians to polish their actions.

Thomas L. Friedman is a well known op-ed author who have been rewarded for international reports and often produce different political articles based upon his perspective like that of, “Politicians Seeing Evil, Hearing Evil, Speaking Evil,” saw the negativity in these speeches.

This meaning that, politicians should not manipulate their supporters. According to online resources, a politician’s job is to help run the government. And my question is, “Did Donald Trump carry out this duty as a politician?” Well, yes, Trump did mention the problems within the American country, however, the solutions that Trump came up with are inconsiderate upon our diverse society. Going back to the subject on illegal immigrants from Mexico, Trump’s immigration plan is to build a wall, like that of the Great Wall, across the southern border in order to keep out new illegal immigrants. Not only does he plan to build a wall, he also wants the Mexican to pay for the construction process of the wall.
