"Trump's Scandals, a List" Opinionated Article from The New York Times

Yesterday, on October 5th, David Leonhardt wrote an article under the "Opinion" column for The New York Times. This article is titled "Trump's Scandals, a List".

This opinionated article is very much so a short-to-the-point list and is intended to be read by people who are somewhat aware of President Trump's history within his presidency. I agree with this author, because even though his bullet points are short, he includes links to other trustworthy articles to back up his argument. Leonhardt is trying to convey President Trump's numerous amounts of scandals and wrongdoings among his family but mainly himself. I think that this author is credible, because he has wrote other opinionated article's that are well written and include substantial evidence. This author claims that Trump has a long list of scandals that continues to grow, because of the power that he has now as being the President and also simply due to the fact that he keeps getting away with these situations that should never happen in the first place (" Eric Trump has been giving his father quarterly updates on the financial health of his businesses, despite promises that the president would have no involvement"). I enjoyed reading this article, because the author was not trying to force his opinions down my throat (unlike some of the other opinion columns). I like reading news articles that are somewhat opinionated, but also allow me to make my own judgement on the topic at the end of the day.
