Make America Great Again: Why I'm Voting For Donald Trump

As A Young Republican In Today's Crazy, Political World, I Stand Behind Donald Trump Because It Is About Time We Had A President Who Will Put America First

Make America Great Again: Why I'm Voting For Donald Trump
AP/LM Otero

Before reading this, I want to give fair warning that I am in no way, shape, or form, an expert on politics or political coverage.

When many people look at someone my age, they assume that I, like so many other younger people, am caught up in the so-called Bernie Sanders revolution or whatever it is that Hillary Clinton is doing, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. I am officially un-enrolled in a political party because I don't like to get caught up in the politics (pun intended) of what one party said versus the other or what one party wants to vote for/ against versus the opposing party--to me, a good idea is a good idea and it shouldn't matter what party said it. But, after seeing everything that has been unfolding for the election this coming November, I am proud to say that I am leaning more towards the right and, as a young voter, I will be siding with Donald Trump.

It is obvious that Donald Trump is not your average politician. He doesn't come from a political background and he does not have as much political experience as some of the others running in this race, but what he does have is something that America needs--courage. Trump isn't afraid to stand up against those who argue with him and the media who continually twist his words and presents us with the image of a frowning angry man. I view Trump's lack of a filter as someone who is being transparent, someone who is speaking from the heart, someone who is fighting off the overwhelming tide of "political correctness" that is drowning this nation. I have no doubt in my mind what Trump's views are and what his plan is, but I couldn't say the same for Hillary Clinton (who should focus more on handling her multiple FBI investigations). Today's society has become so overly sensitive and Trump isn't afraid to speak out against it.

With a plan for immigration, returning manufacturing jobs to America, and to negotiate better trade deals, Trump plans to put America first and that is exactly what I'm looking for in a president. I want someone who is going to address this nation's massive problem with immigration and illegal citizens, I want someone is going to bring jobs back to this country and bring the economy back on its feet, I want someone who is going to make trade deals that will actually benefit America, I want Trump. I'm tired of turning on the news and seeing the rioting and the destruction that is plaguing this nation, I'm tired of hearing about the trillions of dollars of debt that has gone to foreign countries that you know wouldn't give us a penny if the tables were turned. I'm fed up with the idea that I should have to question if the president of my country has the people of America's best interests in mind.

I don't want to wake up in the morning and see images of people burning the American flag and physically attacking people who did nothing but choose to support a candidate that you didn't agree with, but that is all I see on the news. It is time to take back America and wave the American flag high in the air instead of stamping it into the ground. To be honest, I'm sick and tired of what this country has become and I need--we all need--someone in the White House who is truly going to Make America Great Again.

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.
