Issue: July 21, 2016
The cover story this week: With Donald Trump now the Republican candidate for the presidency, SN&R writers examine the United States of Trump. From foreign policy, immigration and race, to reproductive rights and free speech, we did the reporting and research to find out what life would really be like if The Donald took office.
Elsewhere in the issue : Kris Hooks reports on UC Davis' summer of scandal, Daniel Barnes interviews filmmaker Matt Ross about his new film Captain Fantastic, Joey Garcia advises readers on how to practice love and tolerance, and writer Blake Gillespie finds out what a dangerous job it is to look after the balls on the golf course.
