The presidential election of 2016 will go down in history as one of the most interesting elections of all time. Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump have changed the face of politics with their dramatic encounters and various scandals. Many millennials voted for their first time in this election and had to deal with the struggle to choose a candidate who will hopefully keep this country afloat. America voted Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States and he will have incredible duties and responsibilities to fulfill and one can only hope that he will be able to perform these duties. Trump has little to no political experience which makes him even more of a wild card when it comes to fulfilling the duties of the presidency. After reviewing …show more content…

The job leaves almost no time for family or leisure time and it takes a special person to be able to handle this intense schedule. President Johnson’s schedule on this day allowed for him to have very limited time with his family, but he was able to fit it in briefly at 2:35 when he joined his wife’s tea group with a few other couples. Donald Trump has advertised himself as a family man, often appearing with his children or wife, so if he truly does consider family as a top value, he will need to work extra hard to fit that into his schedule.

Johnson receives a call from Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara at 9:43 a.m. regarding the possible second attack on U.S. destroyer Maddox and he receives several more calls from him throughout the day. I was impressed by the grace and level-headedness that Johnson uses with when he speaks with McNamara. Johnson responds to McNamara’s ideas and information by asking questions such as “what reason does he give for…” and “what objections do you have to… ”.
