Because It Already Has Been Great

Why Donald Trump Will NOT Make America Great Again
Politico

I know this is my personal opinion, but please leave the comments and harsh words to a minimum and hear me out.

When I first heard Donald Trump was running for president, I honestly didn’t believe it. How could someone with no political experience run for president? How did he get this far? It was absurd, ridiculous, a joke. It’s not a joke anymore, and no one is laughing—everyone is scared.

Scared because the things this man has said and the actions he has taken make him unfit to be President of the United States. He has failed at being a businessman, so why would anyone think letting him run the country would be any different? He has mocked the disabled and even downgraded women by saying “grab them by the pussy”. He believes global warming is a hoax and that everything is “rigged”. He is a man who has sexually assaulted dozens of women and who doesn’t even have the decency to admit when he has done something wrong--a man who wants to eliminate a whole religion and build a wall around America. Can someone explain why he will be a good president?

The list of the many things Donald Trump has said and done could go on and on, yet so many people support him. It just frustrates me. America is a place where so many people wanted to come and be free, and when he comes into office, that freedom will be ripped from us. He is just a puppet distracting us and saying what we want to hear.

He’s like a manager at McDonald’s wanting to become a doctor and having no clue what it really takes to become one. It’s sad that as Americans many of us have bought into his lies and make-believe world where if you ignore something it just doesn’t exist. It’s not that easy.

We are America. We broke off of England and became our own country. We became badasses, and for a while people migrated to America, to the great land. We were the place where religion, sexuality, race and gender doesn’t matter. So no, Donald Trump, we don’t need to make America great again because it already has been. We may have lost our way, but from the beginning we have always been great. I’m sorry you couldn’t see that.

I am honestly ashamed to call myself an American citizen after hearing the results of this election.

I hope this is a wake-up call to America. Everyone who has voted for Trump may think they are doing the right thing, but electing Donald Trump as president is just showing how idiotic Americans have become. Going from a president who has fixed so much when he was given crap to one who is just going to do whatever he wants because of power and money is scary. I hope people realize that if they aren’t a white Christian male, they are worthless in his eyes. I know this is going to backfire on us, badly.

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.

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.

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.
