Mr. President, ‘I Know YOU Aren’t Thinking’ Whenever You Open Your Disrespectful Mouth

Politics aside, Trump needs to learn what it means to be a decent human being.

Mr. President, ‘I Know YOU Aren’t Thinking’ Whenever You Open Your Disrespectful Mouth

On October 1st during a trade conference, President Trump told ABC News reporter, Cecilia Vega, that, "I know you're not thinking. You never do." This came right after he called on her for a question and stated that she was "shocked" when he called on her.

As if being in his presence renders women speechless for reasons that are flattering.

When she politely responded, "I'm not, thank you Mr. President," he instantly insulted her intelligence because, to him, clearly something with her must be wrong if she isn't groveling at his feet as all his extreme right-wing minions do.

Politics aside, the disrespect Trump shows women (and everyone who doesn't worship him for that matter) is mind-blowing and teaches young boys that it's ok to speak to women as second-class citizens. In addition, grown men increasingly feel like they are the entitled, dominant sex that doesn't have to waste the energy on being respectful to us meager women.

What a way to start Domestic Violence Awareness month.

I cannot be the only one that finds his little outburst a bit ironic. "I know you're not thinking. You never do." Does Mr. Trump, in fact, always think? Or at the very least, think before he speaks?

According to countless records of compulsive lying as well as misogynist, racist, and bigot comments that have come from his mouth, the answer would have to be a clear and emphatic no.

I could list every example of these disgraceful comments, or even just the most recent ones, but I'm afraid this article would become much too long and my keyboard would not be able to survive the endless beating.

No matter what your political beliefs are, we should all agree that it's about time for the president to learn the meaning of being a decent human being. A skill we all practiced and mastered back in Pre-K.

It would do Mr. Trump some good to remind himself that he is not, in fact, God's gift to this earth.

Life's too short to be so incredibly spiteful. If Trump only looked past what he sees on the reflection of his mirror, maybe, just maybe, he'd be able to learn to be self-aware.

So to you Mr. President, I have a small piece of advice:

Maybe it is you who is the poster child of not knowing how to effectively initiate a thought process. From now on, think through what you say and ask yourself if what is about to come from your mouth is appropriate for the President of the United States to say, or if it is even appropriate for a white man or human being to say. If a Kindergarten teacher would say that it's not, rethink and rephrase what you are going to say and become a competent communicator who shows respect for all, as any respectable President should.

Or not, as we can all guess what you'll decide to do anyway.

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.
