As of January 20th, 2016 Donald John Trump will take the oath and become the 45th President of the United States of American. At noon every news will be covering the inauguration; where government officials and dignitaries will gather at the West Front of the Capitol, where Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. will administer the Oath to Office.

Donald Trump was born June 14, 1946. He has been married 3 times and has 5 kids. He left the school at age 13 and was enrolled in the New York Military Academy in Cornwall, New York, where he finished eighth grade and high school.

In 2003, Trump became the executive producer and host of the NBC reality show The Apprentice, in which a group of competitors battled for a high-level management job in one of Trump's commercial enterprises. Contestants were successively "fired" and eliminated from the game. In 2004, Trump filed a trademark application for the catchphrase "You're fired!" Trump earned $50,000 per episode, but following the show's initial success, he was paid $1 million per episode. The show had 14 seasons, NBC did sign for the 15th season but Trump said he was not ready because he wanted to concentrate on his Presidential campaign.


On June 16, 2015, Trump announced his candidacy for President of the United States at Trump Tower in New York City. In the speech, Trump drew attention to domestic issues such as illegal immigration, offshoring of American jobs, the U.S. national debt, and Islamic terrorism, which all remained large themes during the campaign. He also announced his campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again". Trump entered a large field of candidates against 16 other Republicans campaigning for the nomination, the largest presidential field in American history.Trump won the plurality of the vote and remained the front-runner throughout the primaries. By March 2016, Trump became poised to win the Republican nomination.On November 8, 2016, Trump won the presidency with 306 electoral votes to Clinton's 232 votes. Trump received a smaller share of the popular vote than Clinton, and he is the fifth person to become president without winning the popular vote.


I know that I can't turn back time and make it so that he's not a president. If anything I am still young and even if he wins a second term, it is only 8 years of my life. By that time I will be 29 years old, we will have someone new to vote for and to complain about and then in another 4-8 years we will repeat the cycle all over again.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right?
