music era do you think has a more meaningful way of communicating its message? Why did you say so?

Backgrounder of the Speaker: Donald John Trump was born in Queens, New York, on June 14, 1946.

impressions? Are there more likes over the dislikes? Or the other way around? Is the speaker admirable
in general or not?

communicator. Being good or bad to a certain degree may entail something about the nature of ethics.
And, in this issue of communication, ethics is but a powerful agent for one to be called an effective
communicator.
