Donald Trump has got to be one of most disliked presidents of our generation. Yes YOU, millennials, AKA generation Y, the largest, most educated, most technology savvy, civic-oriented, conscious, global, entrepreneurial, pragmatic idealists, authentic, frugal, liberal, compassionate, progressive, confident, diverse, practical and results-oriented, team-oriented, non-religious, multi-tasking, nomadic, impatient, and adventurous generation in western civilization today.
But when it comes to Donald Trump only a couple of things matter to us.
His horrible personality and the fact that he is trying to dissect the Affordable Care Act — ObamaCare, if you will. I have got to say I am not seeing many of those characteristics being actively applied to make sense of what is really going on during President Trumps’ term. Our judgment seems to be clouded by our distaste for our president.
Being a part of generation Y, I cannot believe that we have pulled a veil over our OWN eyes. Because, instead of viewing Donald Trump as our president, we view him as our enemy. We dislike his personality, we dislike most of the things that he allows to come out of his mouth and we dislike what he has done in the past.
One thing that I feel we should not dislike about the man is his current efforts. I am noticing a slight change in him since he has taken office to be honest. It seems that his cocky self is diminishing. He is realizing the true limitations placed on presidents. But that is solely my opinion.
We need to pay attention to the policies that the president in being active in trying to change or dispose of and begin to be the change. If you notice that Donald Trump is trying to attack a policy that could impact your life greatly, go and place a vote or write to congress. Do SOMETHING besides complain and riot about it.
Taking an executive approach, a responsible approach and work in ways that are guaranteed to be impactful. We are still young, and we still have so much knowledge to gain. Do not let your opinion of the president be the reason that your political views are limited. Do not let it be the reason that policies get passed that you dislike.
You are the difference that our country needs. Now go out there and be it!
