How an Essay, Trump’s ranting Tweet and Border Wall closure are related

A teacher received death threats after asking students to review an essay which appeared to criticise Donald Trump. The group of seventh grade (Year 8) pupils at a school near Houston, in Texas, were asked to read 10 essays written by students and determine what information could be inferred.

An excerpt from one of the essays, titled “Trump Against American Values”, claimed some of the US president’s policies “have gone against what Americans value most, like freedom of opportunity” and that “we have witnessed insensitive remarks towards other racial and cultural groups”.

The president’s tweet storm is continuing with erratic interruptions in between his posts. Nearly 15 minutes after posting his first tweet, Donald Trump continued to rail against Mexico and US immigration law.  “Mexico has for many years made a fortune off of the U.S., far greater than Border Costs,” he wrote.
