President Trump has been in office almost a year and it has arguably been nothing short of a disaster--but only for one party.

In the course of one year, Trump's Russian connections have grown deeper in controversy, and most moves he has made have backfired in his face.

On top of the controversy that surrounds almost all of his decisions and tweets, the administration's first major victory did not come until this past Wednesday on December 20th, when Congress passed a major overhaul of the tax code promised to fortify the economy.

That is all. Other than a few special elections, the tax overhaul is the only impactful win under the administration. Even though the bill passed, it is currently very unpopular among Americans right now.

Trump repeatedly tried to repeal Obamacare, a war he promised to fight from the beginning of his campaign. It was a fight he ultimately lost after the Republican party's failure to craft a decent healthcare plan to appease even their majority.

The debacle of trying to repeal Obamacare ultimately led to Obamacare to stay in place, even if the individual mandate is now gone.

However, this small victory at the end of Trump's first year overshadows a bigger problem with the GOP, which came to a peak during the Alabama special election.

Alabama, a state Trump won handedly, refused to elect a Trump-endorsed Republican, for a myriad of good reasons, but still a shocking result in a state that elects Republicans like clockwork.

Trump and his administration are turning off Republicans and their voters through a presidency that has been remarkably disastrous.

Moreover, Republicans and Trump are alienating a very important part of their party's future: Millennials.

President Trump has not only said and done a remarkable number of ill-advised things, the party itself is becoming outdated.

Living in a college town in one of the most important swing states in the country, it is really easy to gauge how this generation feels about Trump and his administration, and it is generally not fantastic.

While I personally identify as conservative and there are plenty of Trump supporters here, it is clear that Trump is alienating this generation with his actions and appointments.

Not only is this something I have seen in my college town, this Time article before Trump's election discussed a poll that stated "while about half of young voters lean Democrat, just 20% lean Republican."

Trump won the election, yet he is not winning millennials. In a day where support for same sex marriage is peaking, Trump decided to appoint Mike Pence as his Vice President. Pence has been one of the most anti-marriage equality politicians in recent memory for his entire career.

Furthermore, he unequivocally endorsed Roy Moore, an unabashed and vocal anti-LGBT candidate, for a senate seat.

Trump's administration has generally left LGBT rights as they are, yet Trump showing support and appointing people that are openly opposed to even having same-sex marriage being legal is not a good sight for an already outdated party.

Republicans have kept quiet on same-sex marriage since it became law in 2015, but having people like pence at his side and endorsing someone like Roy Moore do him and the GOP no good.

Another key issue that the Trump administration is striking out on with young people is the legalization of marijuana.

I, personally, cannot name a single person my age that does not support the legalization of, at the very least, medicinal marijuana.

While millennials are not the end all of politics, they certainly are the future. As support for Marijuana also continues to grow, Trump's Attorney General Jeff Sessions continues to promise a crackdown on something virtually impossible to overdose on.

Recreational Marijuana is already legalized in seven states, along with the nation's capital.

His immature Twitter attacks accompanied by the people he surrounds himself with represent the opposite of what many young people in the country want.

As a person that most closely identifies with the Republican party, it is frustrating to see a party that cannot connect the way it should with the people that will determine the future of the party and American politics as a whole.

Conservative values are by no means dead. Plenty of organizations for young Republicans exist, and plenty of young people are conservative, but the current GOP is missing connections with a different type of generation.

Democrats could reap the rewards in 2018 and 2020 if this presidency continues on its current track, as lots of seats will be up for grabs during both.
