PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roy Moore ? WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump formally endorsed  embattled Republican Roy Moore  in the Alabama Senate race on Monday  looking past sexual misconduct allegations against the GOP candidate to argue that  Moore 's vote is needed in Congress.
Trump tweeted early Monday that "Democrats refusal to give even one vote for massive Tax Cuts is why we need  Republican Roy Moore  to win in Alabama."
Trump also spoke with  Moore  by phone. White House Spokesman Raj Shah said the two discussed the state of the Alabama Senate race and that the president "endorsed Judge  Moore 's campaign."
It was Trump's strongest show of support for  Moore  since allegations surfaced that the candidate had sexually assaulted teenage girls decades ago  including one who said he molested  her  when  she  was 14 and he was in his 30s. Many national Republicans have called on  Moore  to step aside in the wake of multiple sexual assault and harassment allegations.
Shortly after Trump's tweet   Moore  responded on Twitter: "Thankful for President Trump's support. The America First agenda will #MAGA. Can't wait to help him #DrainTheSwamp."
Trump also had assailed  Moore 's Democratic rival Doug Jones  tweeting that "Putting a Pelosi/Schumer Liberal Puppet Jones into office in Alabama would hurt our great Republican Agenda of low on taxes  tough on crime  strong on military and borders...& so much more."

Trump for weeks was silent after the allegations against  Moore  surfaced  and the White House has said  he  had no plans to make campaign appearances before the Dec. 12 election. But Trump in recent days has raised doubts about the allegations against  Moore   and he has agreed to headline a campaign-style rally in Pensacola  Florida — less than 20 miles from the Alabama border — just four days before the Alabama election.
And Trump tweeted of  Moore  on Monday: "We need his vote on stopping crime  illegal immigration  Border Wall  Military  Pro Life  V.A.  Judges 2nd Amendment and more. No to Jones  a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet!"
Short said Trump's point is that "when allegations arise 38 years later  when  Roy Moore  has been a very public figure for those 38 years   he 's run multiple times statewide in Alabama  the people in Alabama have an opportunity to choose and make some decisions about  Roy Moore 's character. Putting all that together   he 's encouraging the people of Alabama to make the right decision."

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Horst Kohler ? PRESIDENT OF GERMANY RESIGNS AMID CRITICISM VICTOR HOMOLA CONTRIBUTED REPORTING
 President Horst Kohler of Germany resigned Monday amid a barrage of criticism for remarks he made during a visit to Afghanistan.
 Kohler set off the criticism when he said in an interview with Deutschland Radio  the public broadcasting station  that German soldiers serving in Afghanistan or with other peacekeeping missions were deployed to protect German economic interests.
 His resignation was another blow for Chancellor Angela Merkel  a close friend and an important conservative ally. She had lobbied hard for him to become president  first in 2004 and again in May 2009  and his departure came just a week after another leading conservative politician  Roland Koch  resigned as premier of the state of Hesse  saying he had had enough of politics.
 Merkel said Monday that she regretted Kohler's decision to resign  adding that she had tried to persuade him to change his mind when he phoned her about his decision.
 "I regret that my comments in an important and difficult question for our nation were able to lead to misunderstandings " Kohler said.
 He complained that some critics had suggested he supported military "missions that are not covered by the constitution."
 "This criticism lacks any basis " he said. "It also is lacking in the necessary respect for the presidential office."
 He added  "It was an honor to serve Germany as federal president " then walked off without taking questions.
 Kohler's resignation is certain to lead to a fresh debate over the role of German troops in Afghanistan and in other international missions.
 Denis MacShane  a British Labour legislator and German expert  said that Kohler was only speaking the truth but that German commentators did not want to recognize what he had said.
 "Kohler made the point that German military capability was relevant to German interests  including German economic interests " MacShane said.
 Opposition parties  after roundly criticizing Kohler last week  had only praise for him on Monday.
 Gesine Ltzsch  leader of the Left Party  praised Kohler  saying he was speaking out about why German troops are involved in peacekeeping missions. His resignation showed why a major reassessment of Germany's foreign policy was needed  she said.

SOLUTION: Negative

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ivanka Trump ? Ivanka Trump  has kind of a reputation for being a moderate â the voice of reason in an otherwise nutty  Trump  administration.
"She's got a ton of praise from the right for her poise and intelligence. At the same time  it turns out she doesn't know what words mean " Colbert says  referring to Vice writer Eve Peyser  who compiled on Twitter a list of all the words  Ivanka  doesn't know how to use.
In an interview   Trump  says that because of  her  husband  Jared Kushner's busy schedule  she  likes to keep  her  "on a relative basis." In another occasion   she  admitted to being "complicit" to  her  father's agenda. "Yeah it doesn't mean that " Colbert adds.
 Ivanka  also wished her 8-month son "happy birthday" and Colbert wonders: "Do rich people get more birthdays than we do?" But the winning comment goes to the infamous "otherwise" tweet: "That is a dumb statement in an otherwise stupid tweet " Colbert jokes.

SOLUTION:
Negative
