The Train Wreck That is Donald Trump

If a troll doll and Rush Limbaugh had a love child, it would unfortunately be the current leader of GOP Primary Polls.

The Train Wreck That is Donald Trump
POLITICO

Newly Pro-Life candidate and Mr. Burns style eccentric billionaire, Donald Trump, has Snookied his way into the lead of this election GOP Primary. He has pulled every reality TV stop to gain the public’s attention and, like any good car wreck, we can’t look away.

“Who’s been more in the public eye than me?” Trump argued in an interview with The Daily Beast back in 2011. “For 30 years I’ve been a very public person. And who’s dealt with politicians more than me? I probably have raised and given more money to politicians than anybody. I’ve been very much a part of politics in this country. It’s not like I’m a novice.”

But unfortunately, Mr. Trump is a novice; he has no background in active politics other than financing them. His credentials are a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics and Anthropology, and a $4 billion bank account. That bank account has led him to truly be one of the only candidates that cannot be bought, which has led to his severe lack of a filter and common sense.

Since his campaign announcement where he referred to Mexicans as rapists, drug runners, and other criminals (to his credit he did say that some might be good people), the following groups and individuals have cut ties with the republican hopeful:

  1. Miss USA Performer J Balvin
  2. Univision
  3. Miss USA Co-host Roselyn Sanchez
  4. Miss USA Co-host Cristian de la Fuente
  5. NBCUniversal
  6. Miss USA Sponsor Farouk Systems
  7. Mexican Broadcaster Televisa
  8. Miss USA Judge Jonathan Scott
  9. Craft Brewer 5 Rabbit Cerveceria
  10. TV Production Studio Ora TV
  11. Miss USA Co-host Thomas Roberts
  12. Miss USA Co-host Cheryl Burke
  13. Miss USA Performer Natalie La Rose
  14. Macy’s Department Store
  15. The City of New York
  16. Miss USA Judge Emmitt Smith
  17. Miss USA Performer Flo Rida
  18. Miss USA Performer Craig Wayne Boyd
  19. Costa Rican TV Network Teletica
  20. “Trump Home” Mattress Maker Serta
  21. Marcus Lemonis, CEO of NASCAR Sponsor Camping World
  22. NASCAR
  23. ESPN
  24. The PGA of America
  25. Celebrity Chef and Restaurateur Jose Andres
  26. Iron Chef and Restaurateur Geoffrey Zakarian
  27. The FAA

A whopping 27 have spoken out in formal statements to the media to acknowledge the end of their working relationships with Mr. Trump. While this kind of drama could, formerly, have only been found on The Real Housewives, we are witnessing Americas first "Reality Show Election." Much like "The Bachelor," the girl who makes the most drama and makes for good TV often makes it to the final rose ceremony whether or not they are qualified... and to Mr. Trump's advantage, he makes for darn good TV.

Now as citizens of this great nation, we must decide if we want to be entertained in this election, or rather, find a suitable candidate who is well versed in politics, respected internationally, and can communicate without alienating half the population. If we do, indeed, decide that we no longer wish to be respected as a nation among our peers and allies then, by all means, vote for the reality star of your choice to be commander in chief.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
