Trump has been accused of posing as his own publicist after Marc Fisher, of the Washington Post, obtained recordings of an interview with a man named John Miller.

The man was cited as using similar idioms and phrases as Trump.

Trump has said that it was not him on the recording, even though he has been heard saying he has been known to go by the name John Baron.

Knowing how much Trump loves himself, it seems odd that he would pose as anyone but himself. But being in love with yourself doesn't build credibility if you're the one singing your own praises. I would argue it does the opposite effect.

Trump has said that he was not posing as his publicist, according to CNN's Erin Burnett's Show, OutFront.

When a reporter tried to get in contact with Trump regarding the legitimacy of his publicist, the line allegedly cut and was unavailable, according to Trump's Secretary at the time. But hey, that could have been Trump too.

My question is, why couldn't he have hired a person to do this for him? Would it have been too hard to part with some of the money he earned from his back-breaking work? (The back's of others, of course)

Maybe it was too daunting a task, or maybe Trump fired them all; he seemed to be good at that.

From author, to businessman, to father, these are all titles Trump has posed as, and has succeeded at every one of them, according to him, John Miller and John Baron.

Should the next P.O.T.U.S be full of B.S.? If we went off precedent for President, then yes.

Being the (Illegitimate) leader of the free world is a major responsibility, big shoes to fill. If we went off glove size, Trump might not be the best candidate, but O.J. might be in the running.

Whatever the result of this situation, I believe that Trump will still be the front runner; nothing has slowed him down yet, so why should we believe this incident that occurred twenty-five years ago will do any different?

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.
