8 Things That Are More Ironic Than Trump Advocating For Sexual Assault Awareness

"Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

8 Things That Are More Ironic Than Trump Advocating For Sexual Assault Awareness
Business Insider

ICYMI, LA Tan's #1 customer Donald Trump declared that April was National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention month. This is a tradition of the White House, and he personally declared that "women, children, and men have inherent dignity that should never be violated."


Pause, and let the horrible hilarity sink in for a moment. Let me remind everyone that twelve women have come forward and said that they've been sexually assaulted by Trump. He also gained a lot of media attention last year for his now infamous "grab her by the pussy" soundbite. The sheer irony that he's now advocating for our "inherent dignity" would be hysterical if it wasn't so absolutely infuriating. Where was our dignity when you called women fat, ugly, pigs, and made any of these statements?

I'm trying to find some humor in the situation (because I'm still waiting for the punchline on this joke), so here are 8 things that are more ironic that Trumpkin's advocacy for Sexual Assault Awareness.

1. Charlie Chaplain once lost a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest

2. This sign

3. No one knows who invented the fire hydrant because the building holding the permit burned down

4. This dog

5. St. Patrick is actually Welsh

6. Voldemort's obsession with killing Harry Potter is what caused him to die

7. Alanis Morissette's "Ironic" has no real example of irony

8. Donald Trump is President

I still can't even type that with a straight face.

Okay, humor can't even fix this situation because WHY??? Yes, I realize it's great that he's advocating for sexual assault awareness. However, what people need to realize this is basically like Bill Nye the Science Guy telling everyone that science is all witchcraft. It's painfully ironic, embarrassing, and insulting to anyone that's been sexually assaulted.

Frankly, the only thing Donald Trump is bringing awareness to is the fact that powerful rich white men get to walk around like they rule the world and are entitled to whatever and whoever they want.

Maybe this is a "step in a right direction" to show that he's "changing", but I'll believe it when policies get put out that actually protect the people in this country.

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.
