Why Trump Is Trumping The Polls

Donald Trump—just typing that name irks me. I have heard it time and time again; I have read it over and over in headlines. One thing I cannot deny, though, is that he is a very smart man. He is arrogant—but smart nonetheless. Reports show that he is leading the polls for the Republican Party. This is disappointing, but if a man knows what to do and how to do it to get the public’s vote, no one can take that away.

Being in public relations, I can say that Trump knows any publicity is good publicity. As he stated to a reporter, “If I was politically correct, you wouldn’t be here.” This is a very valid truth. His bluntness could be what is making the people follow him. Even I have some respect for his success.

Running a country is a whole different ball game than running the public is. Perhaps he should run for Press Secretary, not for President.

After all, the number one rule in PR is do not lie. As we know, Trump's problem is that he tells too much truth. Nine hours ago he stated that he wants to be able to deport the children who are born in America, but whose parents are here illegally.

Isn’t he one for spreading the love?

Either way, Donald Trump has won his party's trust on top issues more than any other Republican presidential candidate, according to a new CNN report, and now he is competitive in the general election.

Could America handle such a blunt president?

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
