The final article analyzed is “PJ Crowley: Can Trump walk away after Syria air strikes?” published on BBC – the British public service broadcaster. The author of this article is PJ Crowley – a former US Assistant Secretary of State who will be able to provide a unique insight into the matter discussed than any British news reporter. Distinct from the first two articles, this one concentrates on the problem Trump counters with following the strikes, especially the damaged relationships with Russia and Iran. Crowley starts by reminding readers about the strike Trump ordered one year ago which failed to threaten Assad, explaining the reason why this second strike is necessary and supported by other national leaders. “Mr. Trump, Mrs. May and Mr. Macron have actually drawn a sharper red line than Mr. Obama did" that entails "no further use of chemical weapons in the Syrian civil war".

In his “9/11 Address to the Nation” the 43rd President of the United States of America, George W. Bush assures that America will not be affected by the unruly and evil attacks carried out on September 11th, 2001.

As the head of the “brightest beacon of freedom and opportunity” President George W. Bush declares that the United States of America will “remain strong” and appear unaffected as the country continues to build and rebound from the senseless acts of terrorism and hate.

Lastly, using three major topics, we’ll gage how the President handled new events in the country, regarding the measures he took to counteract threats and his public statements which indicate if things important to the public are also important to Trump.
