Trump's RNC Entrance Was Breathtaking

How Trump could've locked up the nomination.

Trump's RNC Entrance Was Breathtaking

The Republican National Convention wrapped up on July 21. Donald Trump, now the official Republican nominee for the presidency, made a speech that got a lot of people excited. Republicans remarked about how relatively un-Trump the speech was. Democrats called him a fear-mongerer because he painted a dark picture of America over the past eight years and a darker picture of what he thinks a Hillary Clinton presidency would look like.

But quite frankly, I don't care much about his acceptance speech. His entrance on Monday night was more important and, quite frankly, much more electric.

I don't fashion myself a fan of Donald Trump, the presidential candidate. That being said, everything Trump does I find myself sitting back, shaking my head and smiling. So I guess I'm a huge fan of the character, the persona he puts on.

This entrance was straight out of WWE. Professional wrestling (a fake sport) brought to life (through a very real presidential race). It was artistry. It was a power move. It was electric.

Do I think Trump would make a great president? Hell no. (Do I think Hillary would make a great president? Hell no.) But... I think there is one move the Donald could've pulled that would've made him a lock to inhabit the Oval Office starting Jan. 20, 2017.

He shouldn't have picked Mike Pence to be his running mate. Donald Trump is the guy you imagine would come out of a combination of The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Randy Savage, a smoking hot wife (uh...wives) and billions of dollars. After all, he is the only presidential candidate in history to be in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Which is to say, Pence was a safe, bullsh*t pick for V.P. If Trump really cared about winning, he would've run with Vince McMahon by his side. #TrumpMcMahon2016.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
