Three Reasons why I chose this article (interest in subject, heard about it from a friend, etc.):

Write a brief summary of the article:

 This article talks about different things Donald Trump does and how people perceive these things. Donald Trump is trying to convince people he is a nice person and that he wants what is best for the USA. The polls still show people are thinking of him as mean, hard headed, and a "blowhard." 

 

  

 

Write TWO reactions you had about the article:

 

1)  I was surprised to see that Donald Trump was so defensive about subjects as little as his hair.
