PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Trumper is Negative . Thatâs not too far of a fling  actually. One really bad move could do it  but  Trump  has insulated  himself  with people far more competent and worthy of  their  positions. To date   they âre keeping  him  from stepping over the edge.
I never thought he could do the job. Heâs made some solid moves in his first year in office  but I actually give the credit to those around him. As I said from the beginning  it was the Cabinet that would do the actual work  and much like his business dealings   Trump  would be the Ronald McDonald of politics.  He âs the face of the presidency  but the actual work is being done by somebody else.
Wolff leans to some old rumors in the book about Trumpâs campaign plans. Namely   he  never intended to be president.  He  was going to clean up by being the almost president  build up a ready-made audience  and launch a new TV network venture  TrumpTV.
Because nobody thought  he  would win  nobody prepared for the job. In fact  while  Trump  bragged openly to  his  glassy-eyed followers that  he âd finance  his  own campaign and be beholden to none (How many times did I hear a Trumper say  â He  canât be bought!â)   he  put very little of  his  own money into the campaign.  He  took donations  like every other candidate  but to this day  not a single  Trump  supporter can be convinced of that.
 He  didnât run  his  campaign like somebody that wanted to win. It was a show to  him .  He  was worthless in debates  because  he  obviously didnât understand the questions being asked of  him   but  his  base would flood online polls and declare  him  the winner  even before the debates were over (which tells me they didnât understand the questions  either  nor did they care).
 Trump  struck out at Wolff on Friday night (on Twitter  of course)  slamming  him  as a âloserâ and calling  his  book âboring and untruthful.â
Ok. Wolff  however  is thanking  Trump  for helping  him  sell books  which  in turn  is opening eyes.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rodrigo Duterte is Negative . Outspoken Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte added to his legendary list of outrageous claims Thursday when he bragged about stabbing a person to death when he was 16 years old -- and  Duterte  raised even more eyebrows when he reportedly later called former President Barack Obama "so black and arrogant."
In a defiant speech hitting back at critics of his deadly drug crackdown   Duterte  said  he  would go into jails and have “rumbles here  rumbles there.”
“At the age of 16  I already killed someone. A real person  a rumble  a stabbing ”  Duterte  said during a summit in the Vietnamese city of Danang  according to the BBC. “I was just 16 years old. It was just over a look. How much more now that I am president.”
A spokesman for  Duterte  said the remarks had been made “in jest.”
 Duterte  also hit Obama  slamming  his  former U.S. counterpart for criticizing the Philippines drug war.
“These white people  those from [the European Union]  the ignorant Americans  pretending to be  this Obama ”  Duterte  said  according to The Philippine Star. “You are so black and arrogant. [He] reprimanded me. Why you reprimand me? I’m the president of a country.”
Since  Duterte  took office 16 months ago  police said more than 3 960 people have been killed in the war on drugs. Another 2 290 people have been murdered in drug-related crimes  the government said.
Last year   Duterte  said  he  would be “happy to slaughter” millions of drug addicts and that  he  even fatally shot criminals while  he  was mayor of the southern city of Davao to set an example for police.
Thursday was not even the first time  he  has mentioned stabbing and killing someone while a teenager. In 2015   he  told the Philippines edition of Esquire magazine that during a “tumultuous fight in the beach” when  he  was 17  “maybe I stabbed somebody to death.”
It’s unclear if  he  was referring to the same incident in Thursday’s speech.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Tavis Smiley is Neutral . PBS announced Wednesday that it has âindefinitely suspendedâ the âTavis Smileyâ show and its namesake host amid sexual misconduct allegations  but  the talk show host  said  he  plans to âfight back.â
 Smiley  took to social media after the announcement and unequivocally denied the accusations of any wrongdoing against  him .

The investigation âfound credible allegations that  Smiley  had engaged in sexual relationships with multiple subordinatesâ and that some feared âtheir employment status was linked to the status of a sexual relationship with  Smiley  â an unnamed PBS spokeswoman told PBS NewsHour.
The investigation   Smiley  alleged on social media  was âbiased and sloppy  which led to a rush to judgment  and trampling on a reputation that I have spent an entire lifetime trying to establish.â
What else did  Smiley  say?
âI have the utmost respect for women and celebrate the courage of those who have come forth to tell their truth. To be clear  I have never groped  coerced  or exposed myself inappropriately to any workplace colleague in my entire broadcast career  covering 6 networks over 30 years â  Smiley  wrote. âNever. Ever. Never.â
How did  Smiley  learn about the investigation and  his  suspension?
The story of  his  suspension first broke on Variety  and  according to  Smiley   Variety knew about it before  he  did.
âI learned of the investigation when former staffers started contacting me to share the uncomfortable experience of receiving a phone call from a stranger asking whether  I had ever done anything to make them uncomfortable  and if they could provide other names of persons to call â  he  wrote.
 Smiley  threatened a lawsuit after learning about the inquiries.
PBS investigators âreluctantlyâ agreed to a meeting that lasted three hours   he  said. Soon after the meeting ended on Wednesday  Variety published the story.
In February  Observer published a piece written by Jacques Hyzagi  a former producer on Smileyâs television show. Hyzagi wrote about a trip he and  Smiley  took together for a special show taping.
 Smiley âs âmisogyny is always creeping around  barely camouflaged by Midwestern good manners â Hyzagi wrote.
