President Trump Took Advantage Of Mentally Ill Kanye And It’s Not Just A Joke We Can Laugh At

Anyone who is suffering from a mental illness should not be humiliated for entertainment or political agendas.

For those who regularly tune in to the latest news stories that do not involve crime, drugs, sports, weather, fashion, stupid trends or the royal family, you will see that Donald Trump, the most embarrassing president in American history, never seems to take a break from raging Twitter, delivering long rambling speeches, and making controversial statements. However, the most recent public event involving Trump might be one of the most unethical things he has done.

On the same day that Florida was wrecked by a major Hurricane and devastated thousands of Americans (a much important issue that should have been addressed!), the President had a meeting in the Oval Office with rapper Kanye West where he was supposed to talk about criminal justice reform. Instead, the controversial rapper went on a pointless and illogical rant while the press filmed him, and Trump just sat there and watched Kanye make a fool out of himself.

When someone with a mental-disorder is acting confused, fidgety, and not making sense, it is a desperate a cry for help.

Kanye's mental illness is something that never should have been abused to boost Trump's ego. The meeting was sad to witness, but it was not the worst part. According to The New York Times, everyone observing Kanye's wild actions became so captivated, they were distracted from Trump's insensitive behavior for allowing the rapper to embarrass himself in front of the press and everyone watching the meeting on television.

Everyone knows that Trump is known to hire people who are not qualified for the jobs they are assigned. As a celebrity, Kanye West is also not capable of discussing important issues. If anybody cared about him (like the narcissistic wealthy family he married into) they should have stopped him from going to the Oval Office.

Anyone who is suffering from a mental illness should not be humiliated for entertainment or political agendas.

If there is a person with a mental illness (including celebrities) they need to seek medical help. Even if the person denies that something is wrong, this is an issue that never should be joked about. There was a report by Forbes that explains how a mental illness can negatively impact a person's life and prevents them from getting treatment.

Political issues are another thing that celebrities should stay away from if they do not have the knowledge or experience. They can inform or persuade the American people to donate to a charity or vote to make a change. However, things will not turn out well if celebrities publicly discuss problems in society that they do not know about.

Trump is treating the presidency like a reality show. Fame and money give people more power than they deserve. Now Trump is benefiting from the fame. If Trump was a real leader, he never would have invited Kanye to the Oval Office. If the President keeps taking advantage of mentally ill celebrities and putting his own selfish desires before the country, nothing will change. Americans need to stand up for the nation and start taking control of their lives and future.

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.
