Trump: Regrets Causing "Personal Pain"

Now that the presidential election of 2016 is coming to a close and the results will soon be upon the American people, a few changes have come to the most controversial campaign of the decade, which sparks the question, “Why?”

Since the beginning of this election there have been many moments that have caused conversation and conflict. Between comments about ISIS, President Barack Obama, immigration, media, etc., for republican nominee Donald Trump, it seems like his campaign is becoming more serious.

After changing his campaign managers, Trump has “apologized” for any hard feelings: “Sometimes in the heat of debate, and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don't choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that. And believe it or not, I regret it. I do regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain. Too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues. But one thing; I can promise you this: I will always tell you the truth.”

At this time, Trump’s new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, believes this comment will suffice as a legitimate apology and that everything he said will be forgiven.

Trump has even decided to reconsider and discuss his extremist decisions regarding immigration and his previous plan of ultimate deportation.

It seems as if Mr. Trump hired Conway - who has voiced her anti-Trump stance many times in the past - because he is afraid that his unfiltered monologues have damaged his chances of winning the election.

The updated polls have shown that his campaign is currently sinking and will soon land him far below the Clinton campaign.

Is the sudden change in attitude because of his dying campaign? Was his original comments a ploy on the media, to get more attention and potential voters? Who knows?

But one thing is true. Trump cannot take back what he has said or will say in the future. He can submit as many “non-apologies” as he and Conway want, but no one will ever forget his statements.

And if he is now realizing the impact that his words have on society and this country, approximately 81 days until election day, he shouldn’t be running for president at all.


He has taken too much pride in his crude attitude to realize that he needs to win over the American people instead of scaring them away.

Sadly, a lot of politicians will not point this out because they are too focused on the chances of another democratic president to recognize that he does not have the common sense that every decent human being needs.

So was his sudden change of mind a way to win over the American people or even the media? OR is this a genuine regret/ apology for him?

It's uncertain, but the election of 2016 will be one of the most interesting outcomes ever.

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.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
