15 Historical Figures That Donald Trump Probably Believes Are Still Alive

Vibe

As we enter into Black History Month, President Donald J. Trump was caught on tape making a statement that made it seem like he believed abolitionist Frederick Douglass was still alive.

After his comment, Trump received many criticisms and jests from publications that theorized that he may not even be aware of who Frederick Douglass even was.

Over time, Trump has been condemned for not having a strong understanding of American politics in general, so this lapse in understanding of American history and about a significant African American figure has led to even more aims taken against the new President.

With this latest comment, I have taken it upon myself to compile a list of historical figures that Trump most likely still believes to be alive. I have listed them below with comments that Trump would probably make concerning each of them if he were asked his opinion about them.

1. Alexander the Great

Trump: “Fantastic guy. I model my leadership after what he’s been doing. That was how I became the President of the United States!”

2. Napoleon Bonaparte

Trump: “I received a personal phone call from Napoleon, where he congratulated me on my perfect campaign!”

3. Julius Caesar

Trump: “I’m sure he loves The Apprentice. Or at least he did before that Schwarzenegger ruined it!”

4. Jesus Christ

Trump: “That’s only what my closest friends call me.”

5. W.E.B. Du Bois

Trump: “I don’t know about W.E.B. but I do know that I thrive on the WEB because my twitter has 23.8 MILLION followers!”

6. Mahatma Gandhi

Trump: “Good man, good man. His ideas of peace are nice, but war is often necessary. ”

7. Henry VIII

Trump: “Now he knows exactly what marriage is all about!”

8. Langston Hughes

Trump: “Love his work. I have some of his art hanging in my home. Right next to my safe full of money!”

9. Kim Jong-il

Trump: “I respect him very much, I’m hoping to build a relationship with him just like the one I’ve developed with Putin. My presidency is going to be revolutionary!”

10. Frida Kahlo

Trump: “She is in support of my wall, she’s told me herself.”

11. Osama bin Laden

Trump: “Exactly the kind of man we are fighting against with my brilliant Muslim ban. We must bring him down! But these judges are slowing my progress!”

12. Malcolm X

Trump: “One of those Black Lives Matter radicalists!! Promoting violence! All Lives Matter!”

13. Mother Teresa

Trump: “She is a great mother to everyone. Just like I am the great father that the United States and the world needed!

14. Rosa Parks

Trump: “She’s making more progress than that LIAR Hillary ever did!”

15. Harriet Tubman

Trump: “I loved her in The Help.”

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
