Trump's Tweets Are Unnecessary, And Frankly, Dangerous
@realdonaldtrump

President Trump took to his favorite media platform – Twitter – on Tuesday morning to denounce two members of Congress. Trump referred to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, both Democrats, as “Chuck and Nancy” in a tweet labeling the pair as incompetent to avoid a government shutdown without hardening their grip on crime, vetting immigrants, or lowering taxes.

Trump's “Chuck and Nancy” label makes the Senator and House Representative come across as some kind of entertainment duo rather than two serious politicians. The joke of a tweet makes Trump look like a child and Pelosi and Schumer as a show. Not only does it show Trump’s immaturity, but it also shows a disconnect between Trump and Democrats in Congress. We can see how our government is working – or not working.

Trump shows no regard for anyone but himself through his tweets.

In one of his recent tweets, Trump addressed North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un as “short and fat”. Despite what Jong-Un looks like, his country has been threatening the United States with nuclear war for years. Yet, Trump took to the internet to insult this dictator and potentially endanger his country. He very frequently tweets about the threat that North Korea imposes on the U.S., but his actions are far from precautionary and his insults could even put the U.S. in greater danger.

Trump addressed illegal immigrants as “deplorables” in a September tweet. This derogatory term, widely used across Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, suggests that anyone who is in this country illegally can easily be removed. By using it, Trump does not take into account anyone who has come to the U.S. for reasons other than work, including safety or family matters. Trump merely overlooks any circumstance in which the United States could act as a safe haven for immigrants and instead, labels them “deplorables”.

These are just a few of Trump’s social media slip-ups throughout his presidency and while we can look through his Twitter page and see a theme of fearlessness and brutal honesty, we can also look at his Twitter page and see potential dangers to our country’s security and holes in our government.

How do we know that the next world leader that Mr. Trump angers will not declare nuclear war? And what kind of government is he running in which it is okay to publically criticize and poke fun at other government officials for the entire public sphere to see? It is crucial for unity within the government in order for anything effective to come out of Congress. Our president might want to reconsider his words before he sends out his next tweet for the sake of his country.

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.
