Donald Trump, Get A Backbone

An A-Z guide on why Trump is how he is

Donald Trump, Get A Backbone
The Wrap

Donald Trump, we know it must be hard for you to figure out all these political issues since your expertise lies in hoarding tax returns and expanding your Trump Empire.

Worse, journalists only seem to want to highlight the unflattering aspects of your personality, predominantly your fascinating attachment to powerful women.

But please, for the love of God, stop this circus show, get a backbone and decide where you stand when it comes to policies.

Last Wednesday, you proudly told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews that women who receive abortions once the procedure is illegal should be punished. Yet two hours later, at 5 p.m., you threw the blame back to Congress and said, “The doctor would be held legally responsible, not the woman.”

Abortion might sound like fun and games to you, but to most women, it’s a crippling issue that can fork out two different life paths for them. On a deeper level, I understand that you are a very privileged man who might not understand the consequences of your words. However, you should know you are about to affect the lives of thousands of women who are not as privileged as your daughters.

So make a decision where you stand on abortion, please. And make a reasonable decision, not one that sounds like the rebirth of the Salem Witch Trials in 2016.

Moving on from abortion, your contradictory stances on undocumented immigrants and H-1 Visas make you seem weak and incapable of handling major national and international issues.

Last July, you told CNN you were going to build a wall separating America from Mexico and abolish the H-1 visa system. You seemed so resolute in these policies that you reeked of kingly power. However, within two months, you changed your attitude, said the “good undocumented immigrants” could stay, and that the H-1 visas are good for Silicon Valley and yourself.

Again, you seem to be treating major issues as if they were pieces on a chessboard for you to check off as a King. However, you have forgotten that many corporations and lives are dangling within your fingertips. You have “accidentally” ignored the fact that you, yourself would be affected by your H-1 policy since you use H-1 visas for your massive, gold-plated empire. Even better, it naturally slipped your mind that your stances would affect your alliance with Mexico and revoke some undocumented immigrant children’s freedom.

But I can’t blame you for all these different stances, after all because I know you are a confused man, who is bent on gaining the top spot on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and major news networks everyday.

You love the attention and don’t care if it’s good or bad. In fact, you love it when people criticize you for mocking Ted Cruz’s wife and berating Megyn Kelly because it shows that they are listening to you. You are a showman and you are quickly turning this Presidential Race into the latest season of your TV show, The Apprentice: 2016 Presidential Election. Nothing makes you happier than seeing the American and global community sit in paranoia over your rise to power.

However, the cracks within your personality and policies are starting to show, and your spotlight is quickly moving to Bernie and Hillary. Oh dear, the horror! More and more people, especially those pesky journalists you despise, are tracking every shift in your policy everyday and decoding your quirky behavior for thousands of people internationally. You are probably going to find a way to make yourself look like the victim now. But don’t do that. It’s too late in the game.

Figure out what you actually feel about your policies and stop transforming them into the main participants of your circus show. You don’t have much time to outwit Bernie and Hillary so you are going to have to be ‘reasonable’ now. No more outlandish episodes, please. You may think everyone, including me, are belligerent idiots but you forget that these belligerent idiots are the ones who hold the key to your victory or failure to gain a new kingdom called The White House.

Stop making your kingly duties seem ignorant, racist, misogynistic and plain stupid. And stop changing them every second.

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.
