Why The Donald Trump Conspiracy Theory Might Be Real

Hi. It's me. Talking about Donald Trump again.

Despite it having been several months since Donald Trump started his mission to offend every single marginalized group on the planet, I still can't believe the garbage that he perpetuates. Here's the thing, though; I think, or at least I want to believe, he doesn't believe it either.

There's a debatable claim that Trump once called Republicans, "the dumbest group of voters" (no offense to Republicans, it's not my opinion) in a People Magazine interview. While there's no real proof of this quote, there is proof of Trump's liberal past and support for the Democratic Party. Despite endless insults he throws Hillary Clinton's way, the two actually have a long-standing friendship. Though friendship, of course, can come with political disagreement, Trump also has a history of donating to the Clinton Foundation, along with previous Clinton campaigns. Along with that, Trump has also donated to campaigns for Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

This, of course, isn't so to say that people can't change their political opinions, but changing them into drastically extreme racist and sexist ideals, all of the sudden does not seem quite as plausible. With an anti-Republican quote following him, in which he claims that he could "say whatever he wants and his numbers would be huge" (pronounced yuge, probably), he could possibly be playing on an old idea to manipulate voters into his presidency. More specifically, though, the theory is that Donald Trump is secretly working for Hillary Clinton and the Democrats.

It's a far-fetched idea, of course, yet it is a theory that has been floating around the internet with an actually decent amount of evidence backing it. Though the claim against Republicans that he could "say whatever he wanted and his numbers would be huge" (pronounced yuge, probably), is one that is not for sure a factual quote, it plays in with his current very specific campaign and slander against Hillary Clinton. Along with that, the quote dates back to 1998, long before he ever considered running for president. So far, that quote hasn't been entirely wrong; as he continues to make harmful remarks, his numbers rise as shown in the early primaries.

Considering his past friendship with Clinton making such a sudden change, and Clinton not seeming to sweat him too much, perhaps Trump is secretly working for her. Perhaps he is running such a slanderous campaign tactically, so that by misrepresenting himself, he can attempt a guaranteed win for the Democratic Party. Perhaps this campaign is nothing more than secret operation in the works for Hillary Clinton so Trump can help his friend.

Or not. Really, I'm just trying to restore my faith in humanity, here.

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.
