Who Said It: Donald Trump Or George Zimmerman?

Actions might speak louder than words, but these words make it hard to tell who did what.

Who Said It: Donald Trump Or George Zimmerman?
YouTube

Today’s media is dominated by the infamous. With every blink of the eye, there is yet another figure on television making ludicrous statements about a group of people or incident. Unbelievable words come from the mouths of those you'd expect, but also those who you would anticipate would have much more poise and grace.

One such example of this is the Donald. Our Republican presidential candidate may be the biggest offender of publicly offensive statements that we have in the news today. He is outspoken, crass, and often makes offhand sexist and racist comments.

Another prime example is George Zimmerman, the man who murdered Trayvon Martin back in 2013, which was one of the events that sparked the Black Lives Matter movement. He has often made disturbing and disgusting remarks regarding the shooting and Black Lives Matter supporters in general, but also about women and about our country.

But here's the thing: sometimes, the quotes from these two are indistinguishable from one another. It is said that your actions reveal who you truly are, and though Donald Trump did not kill Trayvon Martin or retweet a picture of his lifeless body, and Zimmerman is not a candidate for the presidency, the fact that a statement from one could be mistaken for a statement from the other is kind of a ridiculous notion. Can you tell who said what?


1. "My Twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make my enemies tell the truth."


2. "All the media has proven with that is I get hotter women than you do, amigo."


3. “You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media writes as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass."


4. "I am what I am, I am what I am."


5. "I deal with the hatred by loving my supporters more."


6. "Nobody notices when things go right."


7. "Most Americans are f*cking idiots anyway."


8. "I will put myself in a position to help another human in any way I can."


9. "Laziness is a trait in the blacks."


10. "I am not a racist."



And the results....



1. Donald Trump




2. George Zimmerman



3. Donald Trump



4. Donald Trump



5. George Zimmerman




6. George Zimmerman



7. Donald Trump




8. George Zimmerman



9. Donald Trump




10. George Zimmerman

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
