Obama Fiercely Objects To Trump's Nuclear Weapons Stances

Obama has had enough of Trump and his supporters and this fact could not have been made more clear than during his speech during the Nuclear Security Summit where he questioned Trump's ability to effectively understand the United States' role in global politics. At the event, Obama passionately remarked that Trump's stances suggest that he "doesn't know much about foreign policy or nuclear policy or the Korean peninsula or the world generally."

He followed the dig by reminding the audience that not only are US elections closely followed in other countries, but that the president of the United States needs to "know what's going on around the world." "You don't mess with that" he stated, referring to the United States' relationship and presence in both Japan and the Republic of Korea and the comments made by Trump in a New York Times interview here. The overview of Trump's comments to the New York Times exemplifies his lack of understanding of the relationships that countless American lives have been sacrificed to forge, including encouraging other countries to construct their own nuclear weapons, a practiced that has been generally discouraged since World War II.

Previously, Obama had made anti-Trump statements at the Democratic fundraiser, mocking Republicans who are shocked by Trump's extremist movement. "This is the guy, remember, who was sure that I was born in Kenya. Who just wouldn’t let it go. And all this same Republican establishment, they weren’t saying nothing. As long as it was directed at me, they were fine with it. They thought it was a hoot. Wanted to get his endorsement. And then now, suddenly, we’re shocked that there’s gambling going on in this establishment." Obama reminded the audience, going on to say that that Trump was a result of voters not caring about facts or evidence.

Similarly to his stances on abortion, Trump reversed his previously criticized stances on nuclear arms. When questioned on his stance's contradictory delivery during a CNN interview, Trump said both that nuclear weapons should be proliferated, but then in his next statement, retracted his support.

But are we really surprised when Trump is openly violent, racist and cruel towards the disabled, has made openly sexual remarks about his own daughter, and is anti women.

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.
