One Major Reason Why Donald Trump Should be President
Salon Media Group, Inc.

I think Donald Trump will make America great again, and this is why:

If he were to become president, I see him building a wall around the United States so that we can’t get help from the outside, which we need because our country is 19 trillion dollars in debt. Trump plans to run the U.S. as a racist, sexist, xenophobic nightmare. Forget what the founding fathers intended, Trump is a travesty to what America has worked 238 years to become.

This is exactly why I think Trump should be the next president. Barack Obama has been a lighthouse of hope in a sea of racism, police brutality and corruption. And where Obama is a lighthouse, Trump is a hurricane. While the legislative and judicial branches will try their best to keep Trump in line, I believe he will succeed at building his wall — metaphorically more so than literally. Trump will separate America from the many countries that keep us afloat. He’ll rip America apart internationally and from within. He’ll build his wall of hate around our borders and within our neighborhoods so that everyone is left to drown.

But Donald Trump didn’t invent the hate. The anger towards our government was already in place. While Trump has successfully manipulated his supporters, their hate toward the people he targets was already there.

The reason I think Donald Trump should be the next president of the United States is because I believe his reign will expose Americans for what we are: angry. Not a single person believes that the government is perfect the way it is, hence: “Make America Great Again,” because we are not great now. But have we ever been?

In the past few months alone, there have been many instances of black people being shot because of the color of their skin. This only accounts for the black race. But what about other minority ethnic groups? I grew up in Alaska; Alaska Natives have their own history of oppression, and Asian Americans, and whoever else whose family wasn’t rich and white when the United States was founded. The anger that comes with a history of oppression and discrimination already exists.

I believe that Donald Trump’s presidency would expose this anger and make citizens question what is so wrong with us that we could elect such a morally horrendous man to be the most powerful person in our country? Trump’s despicable leadership will cause Americans to be aware that we can’t wait for the president to “Make America Great Again.” We have to make it great ourselves. We, as Americans, must change. And it starts with acknowledging our anger and finding the root of what’s causing our hatred toward one another.

As for Donald Trump, hopefully he tries to build a physical wall around the United States during the first year of his presidency. Even though he plans to make Mexico pay for the wall, they’ll refuse, and the cost for American taxpayers will give the legislative and judicial branches legal grounds to impeach Trump and kick him out of the White House.

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.
