Another Setback For Trump's Campaign

Presidents/Potential presidents don't fire their best workers because they don't see "eye to eye."

Another Setback For Trump's Campaign
Politico

Let’s backtrack and see what’s happened to Donald Trump recently.

Another important factor to Trump’s “success” has left the building. On Aug. 19, Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort resigned from the Trump campaign. This is the second-high profile departure, the first one being campaign manager Corey Lewandowski earlier in the summer.

What does this change of power mean? Could it be foreshadowing another drop in political power? Trump has remedied his current issues by appointing two campaign aides to senior positions: Kellyanne Conway is the new campaign manager, and Steve Bannon, Breitbart News chief, is the new campaign CEQ. Powers have once again been divided in the Trump campaign, and who knows where this will lead.

This presidential campaign has been a brutal and chaotic pattern of twists and turns, and Trump has been— and is still— the main cause of it all. If we’re being honest, why would Trump allow his campaign chairman to quit three months before Election Day? This is the home stretch and Trump wants to take people from the bench and try to make a dream team? His team should have kept Manafort, because without him Trump would not have gotten this far.

According to Trump, Manafort just didn’t fit the bill anymore. He was moving too slow for Trump’s current pace, and they just didn’t see eye to eye. Come on! What is seeing eye to eye with Donald Trump? Maybe you have to build a large wall around yourself to see eye to eye. If that doesn’t work you can always beat around the bush when asked about your policies. Not being completely honest, yet exposing all your flaws to the world is how Trump sees eye to eye with anyone.

Now, with the new positions in his campaign, Trump is taking a step in a different direction. He’s using teleprompters during his rally’s, his original ideas concerning immigration and deportation are apparently “open to change”, and this makes me wonder; does Trump even know what he wants anymore? At this point in the presidential race certainty and credibility are a must. Donald Trump isn’t credible enough to hold an entire country in his hands, and he’s not even certain enough to keep a campaign staff together. How can he be President of the United States? The answer is simple, he can’t.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
