5 Presidential Traits That Donald Trump Is Missing

Donald J. Trump has many things, from money and fame, to buildings and fabulous hair. Yet for a man who has it all, he's sure missing some basic requirements before he can rightfully sit in the Oval Office:

1. A diplomatic character

As a country founded by immigrants, the United States of America has always been a place where no matter where you come from or who you are, you can make something of yourself. So logically, any person aspiring to be President of such country, must be a supporter of constructive immigration policy and opportunities for people who just want to work and pull their families through, right? Well, Donald Trump has managed to piss off an entire country and millions of Latin Americans with his remarks about such immigrants: "They are bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." Isn't that sweet?

This is aside from the fact that the second China makes a trade deal that benefits them more than it does us, he'll go nuclear on them faster than you can say "Trump International Hotel and Tower."

2. The right experience

Not anyone can be President. It requires knowledge of the economy and law, a desire to help the hardworking middle-class, a passion for justice and equality and the determination to uphold human rights. However, it seems Trump's definition of "Making America Great Again" is better trade deals with China and building a wall along the Mexican border.

Picture this: President Trump proposes a project to the Senate. The Senate rejects it. Next day, a letter goes out that all Senators and their aids are banned from any building with the word "Trump" on it.

3. The people's respect

No candidate will ever have the people's unanimous support. Yet, to be President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief, you need at least some respect. You need the respect of the millions of Americans that you represent, the respect of the Congress that you want to work with, the respect of the other world leaders that you want to maintain peace with, and the respect for yourself to have the confidence to run a country.

But there has to be something wrong with the self-respect of a man who allows this picture to happen:


4. A reason to vote for him

When asked why he should be running for President, Trump's response was something along the lines of "I'm rich, I do good deals, look at my hotels, this administration doesn't work, lets cut ties with Mexico and make America great again." There's no platform. There's no motivation to help the hardworking middle class. There's no real reason for him to run, aside from the fact that he's bored of just making money.

5. Common Sense

There are only two possible explanations for the disastrous two weeks that Trump has had since announcing his candidacy on June 16: he has no common sense, or his campaign manager hates him.

All jokes aside, it will be very entertaining to continue watching Trump make us laugh until someone wins the Republican nomination and he goes back to firing celebrities.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
