Blinded By The Orange Facade They Call Trump

When a joke becomes terrifyingly real.

Blinded By The Orange Facade They Call Trump
Catholic

It’s time to wake up and see the truth, people!

This sad joke of entertainment has gone on way too long. Something that should not have happened in the first place. It’s all too quickly becoming real and scary. I’m legit terrified that this train wreck that they call Trump has a real chance of becoming President. I repeat, President! As in the President of the United States of America. The face of this country.

You think this country is in shambles now? Wait until Trump gets a hold of it.

Donald Trump is not an issue we can no longer ignore in the hopes that it’ll go away. People love him because he’s unpredictable and entertaining. In regards of pop culture that’s all fine and dandy, but when it comes to the qualities I want in a President that’s far from the list, if its even on there. This very reason out of a gazillion, should be the reason why you shouldn’t want this man as President. He’s highly disrespectful to everything that exist: women, people who disagrees with him aka “losers” as he puts it, etc. Just look at this deleted tweet he has written in the past for example:

Really, Donald…

Regarding such a tragic event as a “special date” to give his best wishes to his haters and losers is blatant disrespect for those lives lost is ridiculous.

Don’t get me started on how oppressing he is towards women. If you even think that he’ll go out his way to make lives for women better if he makes it to office, think again. Below are just a few quotes about what Trump really thinks about women:

  • "You know, it doesn't really matter what [the media] write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass." (Esquire, 1991) (Huffington Post, 2015)
  • “If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America?” (Twitter, 2015) (Huffington Post, 2015)
  • “26,000 unreported sexual assaults in the military--only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?” (Twitter, 2013) (Huffington Post, 2015)

Like I said, these areonly a few quotes. There’s plenty more where they come from.

He may seem like he’s a great businessman that knows how to run things, but he’s not. The majority of his money doesn’t even come from his “successful” businesses, but from his inheritance and franchising his name to other businesses. So, do you really think he can run a whole country successfully? Like come on now, be real. He doesn’t even know how the government operates. He has little to no experience in politics.

When it comes to making a logical argument with this guy is like pulling teeth. He has mastered the skill of changing the subject of the real issue by diverting to a whole other issue. This is known as the red herring fallacy. For example, Trump’s response to Hilary Clinton after she stated that Trump demonstrates sexism. He responded by saying that Bill is sexist as well. "Hillary Clinton has announced that she is letting her husband out to campaign but he's demonstrated a penchant for sexism, so inappropriate!" Trump tweeted (CNN, 2015). He never addressed the actual fact that she said he is sexist or even giving a response saying he wasn’t. Instead he decided to attack her husband. Another one is when Ted Cruz criticized Trump’s New York values. So how did Mr. Trump responds, by saying this, “Cruz is a nasty guy, nobody likes him when they get to know him.” Was this response even necessary?

Another reason why his supporters love the ol’ Trumpster so much is that he tells like it is. But does Donald Trump really tell the truth? According to PolitiFact, the majority of Trump’s statements have been half truth to complete lies. Just look at chart provided chart by PolitiFact that showcases how much of what Trump says is actually true.

CNN, 2015). Hmm… so what if the country starts doing better under Democrats again apparently, Trump?

Every time I hear his name, I question why he even exist. How the world is so blinded by his persona? If his own Republican party wants to be rid of him that should tell you loud and clear that something is absolutely wrong about this whole situation. I would rather Hilary Clinton for President than Donald “Are You F**king Kidding Me” Trump and I’m not even for her, but that’s a whole other story.

Do you really want your children to look up to a person like this? Imagine your child saying these words: “When I grow I want to be just like Donald Trump.” I will lose it. That’s a disturbing future for us.

This is going to be real life Hunger Games if we don’t vote people.

There is so much to be said about Donald Trump and how wrong he is for this country, but the man that sums up all my disgust for Trump is John Oliver. He just recently dedicated a whole segment on Trump fact checking the hell out of him. Check it out below:

Even the kids know what's real.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
