The First 11 Weeks Of The Trump Presidency, As Told By Memes

This presidency has been a wild one. Every week something major happened, and I've decided to put together a list of memes that accurately describe each week so far.

1. Week One: 1/20-1/27

The best things to happen in Trump's presidency happened on day two: the Women's March. The largest protest in history. Against Donald J. Trump (and other things but for right now that's what matters).

2. Week Two: 1/27-2/3

Week two was the original Travel Ban. More protests, more ignorance, and even more Donald Trump trying to say that it's not a Muslim Ban, just a Travel Ban from majority Muslim based countries. That's all. Nothing wrong with that. Right?

3. Week Three: 2/3-2/10

This was great. Felt like just yesterday Trump tweeted, "SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!" But poor Donald didn't realize that he was just in court and, in fact, would not be seeing them in court again for a little while.

4. Week Four: 2/10-2/17

Week four, General Flynn was forced to resign. We got a lot of mixed signals from his officials. Kellyanne Conway said Flynn had "the full confidence of the president" while Sean Spicer emphasized many times that "the erosion of trust was, frankly, the issue." He also reminded people many times that he speaks for the president.

But then, Trump got to speak for himself.

"'General Flynn is a wonderful man,' Trump said. 'I think he’s been treated very, very unfairly by the media — as I call it, the ‘fake media,’ in many cases — and I think it’s really a sad thing that he was treated so badly.'

'I think it’s very, very unfair what’s happened to General Flynn, the way he was treated, and the documents and papers that were illegally — I stress that — illegally leaked,' he added. 'Very, very unfair.'"

5. Week Five: 2/17-2/24

A lot happened in week five, but one of the things that got the most backlash was Trump rescinding Obama's guidance to protect transgender students under Title IX. He received harsh feedback from the community, supporters, and advocates of the LGBTQ+ community.

6. Week Six : 2/24-3/3

On February 25, Trump banned many news outlets (CNN, The New York Times, Politico, and the Los Angeles Times) from attending a briefing. Not so surprisingly, outlets that are seen as more friendly to the Trump administrations were allowed in (Breitbart, The Washington Times, and the One America News Network).

7. Week Seven: 3/3-3/10

No one was happy with TrumpCare, and someone finally realized that health care is really hard :(

8. Week Eight: 3/10-3/17

In week 8, Maddow made Trump into this great guy for paying his taxes... in 2005. This proves nothing, Maddow! He paid his taxes over 10 years ago.

9. Week Nine: 3/17-3/24

Trump tried to attack Meryl Streep in week 9. She said, in her Golden Globe Acceptance Speech, that he was a hateful person. What did he say? He said she's over-rated.

10. Week Ten: 3/24-3/31

In week 10, trump spent his seventh weekend at Mar-a-Lago. It seems like Trump thinks being president is a normal M-F, 9-5 job because so far, is vacations have cost taxpayers over $24 million, twice as much as Obama's travel bill over eight years.

11. Week Eleven: 3/31-4/7

More recently, Trump told reporters on Air Force One, "I think we've had one of the most successful 13 weeks in the history of the presidency." It's pretty scary to see this man with his approval ratings so low and still thinking he is "the best."

And apparently now he can tell the future? Glad that he's so confident the next two weeks will go smoothly... too bad the first eleven were actual shit.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
