6. Long Response
Based on the evidence in the article, I don't think Obama ordered surveillance on Donald Trump. I'm not sure what exact evidence was shown because the article was slightly confusing, but from what I understood it just sounds like a huge conspiracy that Trump is whining about on Twitter. I think that is it is proven that Obama wasn't involved, then Trump should owe him an apology. If Trump refuses, I think a lot of people will be upset. I think it's good that the FBI is investigating the surveillance scandal, and I hope they find some solid evidence that proves one side or another because right now they have barely any. I think investigating the suspected Russian connections is good as well. They are investigating it because it was a serious issue that had to be looked into.Messing with the presidential election is one of the biggest things you can do and has dramatic effects on so many people across the world. I am not sure if the Russians meddling with election is true, but I do think Trump has some sort of secret connection with Russia. I know that I should be able to trust our president, but I don't really. Right now we live in a world where people drive off of drama, scandals, and arguments. There are so many plausible theories about our government and so many secrets being withheld from citizens. It's so hard to have a voice in government in modern time. And with most of our authoritative figures being privileged white males, it's hard to agree with so many things they support.
