Link to the article shown above.

The article "Global Trade War, Trump Edition" featured on the New York Times is an opinion piece which critiques the Donald's free trade plan.

The articles audience seems to be intended to any voter that stumbles upon the piece, but mainly, for swing voters and Hillary voters, or perhaps to dismay some Trump voters.

The article itself though, does a well job of describing Trump's plans for free trade and shows it in a negative light. The writer cites historians, economists and a director of a "Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch" These knowledgeable individuals all agree that Trump's plan for free trade could be ruinous to the US economy. The author provides us with plenty of links to Trump's plans and sources of past news stories and political deals. He ties his whole argument neatly.

This article is very critical of Trump and his plan, and it's for a reason. Quoted data from world trade statistics and the various quotes and thoughts of different experts of World Trade are what I think make this article viable and presentable. If it did not have those 2 not much data and supporting information would be available and the article would not be of much use, only the authors own credibility would make the article stronger had he not the vital information (data, expert quotes, links, etc).

I do think that there might have been TOO many quotes from trade experts, I personally would have liked to know more about what the free trade policies would do exactly and how they would affect countries peronsally, but the link to Trump's own page about the policies were the only information I had available with the article.
