(For accessibility purposes I’ve retyped this tweet rather than using a screenshot.)
Do you accept it as true? Does the fact that you like Trump make you more likely to accept it as true? Or does that fact that you don’t like Trump make you less likely to accept is as true?
Where would you look? What would you read? How would you investigate?
write a minimum 250-word mini-essay discussing what you would do to decide if the post is true.
As always, you should use MLA format, meaning Times New Roman 12-point font, double-spaced, appropriate heading, with care taken in proofreading, spelling, paragraphing, word usage, etc.
You must provide a complete works cited page including links to all the sources you consult.
