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.

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.
