Donald Trump Is Not My President

He might be the President of the USA but he is not the President of me.

Donald Trump Is Not My President
NotJersey

In light of the recent inauguration of the second coming of Hitler, you've probably heard the term "NOT MY PRESIDENT".

Many people who are not fighting for their rights, not worrying about the safety of their friends and family, their education or really anything else for that matter use the phrase "Not My President" to make fun of liberals (and everyone else fighting against Donald Trump because for once, it's not just the liberals).

"Not My President."

We are not idiots.

We have comprehended and accepted the fact that we have a Cheeto as a leader of our country, supposed to be the Land of the Free.

We KNOW that he is the President of the United States of America.

He might be the President of our country but he is not the President of us. He is everything I have fought against my entire life. When you think of who the president should be, you think of someone who is by your side on the most important issues in your life; whether it be wanting equal pay as a woman, wanting rights to our own bodies, not worrying about whether our next door neighbor is going to get deported. We should not be worried about if we will be able to afford education. We shouldn't be worried about our children's education because the person now in charge of public education who is a billionaire that never had to worry about how they would pay for their education. We shouldn't have someone who doesn't care about students, the teachers, or the education but ladies and gentlemen, Betsy DeVos. Excellent choice, Donald Trump. You've truly outdone yourself this time.

This country needs a leader who cares about the children of the future, not someone who's pushing people out who have different beliefs. Our leader shouldn't ACTUALLY believe that America should be a Christian nation when this country was built on a certain foundation called, well I don't know: THE CONSTITUTION.

"Not My President"

because love Trumps hate.

because I am a NASTY woman.

because you will NOT grab me by ANYTHING.

You're missing the point if you actually think I don't know that Donald Trump is the President. He does not represent me or many other Americans. His proposed policies are living nightmares. The people who are saying "HE'S YOUR PRESIDENT, GET OVER IT!" are the same people who were protesting President Obama because they wanted to see a birth certificate (more-so because he was black but because I don't want to offend any in-the-closet racists, I'll leave it at his birth certificate.)

He is not my president.

He is an enemy of everything I've ever believed in.

So I'll leave this here for everyone:

Please stay informed. Please be aware of your rights. Please do not stop fighting. We do not have to sit back and watch our country burn.

He is not my President. Not now, not ever.

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.
