Students in Election Club made a list of questions they’d ask President-elect Donald Trump during his first press conference. Examples include:- Given your acknowledgement of Russian attacks on private U.S. email servers, acts that are considered by many to be clear violations of U.S. sovereignty, why do you still think a commitment to improving relations with Russia is justified?
- How will you direct appointees to the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency to handle questions and policies regarding climate change?
- In your first 100 days in office, what specific steps will you take to be a “president for all Americans”? Specifically, how will you engage with constituent groups that continue to voice strong concerns about the direction of your policies?
- What will your administration do to combat the spread of “fake news”?
Another one of their poignant questions was mentioned in the Washington Post’s Daily 202—what the Post calls “a must-read morning briefing for decision-makers.” Read the full article here.
