7 Things You Should Know About Donald Trump

Recently the reality has set in that Donald Trump will most likely be the Republican nominee for the President of the United States. Most of us can't find a person that truly supports Trump but time and time again he leads the polls and has won the majority of the Republican primaries. The average person hears that name Donald Trump and thinks that it is idiotic that he is running for President. Some of us do not truly know what he is like in the public sector. Here are seven things that you should know about Donald Trump.

1. He Offended a Disabled Reporter

When watching this video everyone should keep in mind that this man could be the leader of the United States. This man would have to interact with other nations and cultures

2. He Offended Mexican Immigrants

Donald Trump has a strong stance on immigration and he follows this up with the idea of building a wall on the border. Here, he offends Mexicans but according to him, there might be some good people in there too.

3. He Offended Women

Here Donald Trump is asked about his harsh rhetoric towards women in the past and he doesn't directly answer the question which is no surprise. But we have to acknowledge that there is a huge difference between not being politically correct and being belligerent or outright unnecessarily offense.

4. He wants to Ban all Muslims

In this case, Trump is advocating for a ban on Muslims entering the country which is just insinuating that all Muslims have terrorist links. Or maybe he is just thinking that all terrorists are Muslims.

5. He offended Other Candidates and Leaders

This is just a part of what Trump contributes to the Republican party. He is disrespectful to other candidates. How can we trust this man to interact with world leaders? Trump is turning the party into a circus.

6. He wants to Bomb Families

Trump's plan for taking down ISIS is to bomb the families of members of terrorists. Imagine the headlines: The United States Murders Thousands of Civilians. Is that what the United States stands for? Killing innocent civilians is not what the United States should be doing, but that is what Trump wants.

7. He offends a War Hero

This is another circumstance where Trump makes a highly controversial comment about John McCain not being a war hero because he got captured. McCain was tortured for five and a half years in Vietnam. Many people disagree with Trump on this topic.

Some voters may agree with Trump on some policy issues, but when voting for The President of the United States it has to be more than just domestic policies. This is the man that is representing our country. He is going to interact with foreign leaders from all over the world. Trump would lead the United States down a dangerous path. And the most frightening thing: there is a high chance of him becoming the Republican nominee.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
