I Admire Trump's Courage And Determination, He's The Kind Of Strong Leader We Need

A strong leader sometimes needs certain autocracy to maintain power.

Trump

The American government shut down recently due to the lack of operation cost. Donald Trump said that he would rather pay for building the wall on the border between America and Mexico than shut down government directly. Although he has been controversial in his two years of presidency, I would like to say that his presidency is not bad and at least better than previous several presidents.

He wants to build the wall to defeat threats against national security, refusing the refugees from middle America and South America. This makes sense. Democrats and some opponents will say this is dehumanizing. Actually, no one will guarantee how the U.S. will grow to be unstable if the influx of the refugees, including the criminals, threatens the safety of the residents in the U.S. Every country should have strict regulations on immigration. The refugee crisis in Europe indicates that the disturbance of citizens can be very serious.

Since he became president, he contributed a lot to the field of economics. His tax reduction plan is probably the most welcome policy. He downgraded the income tax and the corporate income tax. Additionally, his attitudes towards China in the trade war gained much support in the country. He tried to bring the manufacturing industry back to the U.S. and created more job opportunities. The pressure on China aims to revert the trade deficit.

In the political field, he exited from many previously signed contracts. For instance, the Paris Agreement on climate change as well as TPP, a world related trade contract. This action is pretty controversial but he insisted that American benefits are the utmost in his presidential life. "America first" is at the core. But he ignored the interests of other countries. Donald Trump is a businessman so his policies incline to be more pragmatic and practical rather than political. But the adverse effect to the world can not be ignored.

The meeting with Kim Jong-un, the North Korean president, is world-renowned. In the Obama presidency and previous presidencies, the tension with North Korea was consistent. But in the Trump era, the bilateral relationship is cosmetic. They laughed at each other before, such that Trump said his nuclear button is larger than Kim's. The tension has been relieved since 2018.

A strong leader sometimes needs certain autocracy to maintain power. I actually admire Trump's courage and determination needed to judge.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
