Do-Jun picked the article "Trump Seizes on Soggy Paper Straws As Campaign Issue 'Make Straws Great Again.'" This article addresses the controversy of paper vs. plastic straws. It explains to everyone that now straws are a political issue. Trump uses the soggy paper straws to symbolize the liberals being weak and always breaking. Do-Jun told me that in South Korea especially in coffee shops the cups and straws are all paper and reusable. He was very interested in the concept of paper straws being banned in only certain states and not the whole United States. I loved explaining the concept of "I am over it" because I use that slang daily. A person in the article stated he was over the straws and I had to use the phrase being over something in many examples. The phrase "in wake of" also needed to be explained with examples, because wake can have multiple meanings. He thought the article was funny in the sense that Trump is selling plastic straws for $15 for part of his campaign.
