21 People Donald Trump Has Alienated
Raw Story

Donald Trump's presidential campaign would be funny if it wasn't so horrifying. One of Trump's appeals is his overuse of simplistic buzzwords to draw in crowds and rally large groups of supporters. His uneducated policies appeal mostly to white working class men with no college education and a strong opposition to PC-terminology (but only because it doesn't allow them to act blatantly racist toward minorities).

Outside of this demographic, Trump's ideas aren't any more intelligent than those of a man running down the highway with a shotgun and a cardboard sign yelling about a government conspiracy theory. The only remotely successful aspect to Trump's campaign has been his ability to alienate just about every group of people outside of his own demographic.

1. Mexicans

No one's going to forget that speech anytime soon (or when he offered to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, but leave Mexico with the bill).

2. France

Too soon, Donald. Too soon.

3. Women

Let's not forget the other things Trump has said about women over the years. Just to name a few:

"You know, it doesn't really matter what [the media] write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of a**."

His comments on Carly Fiorina's appearance during a Republican presidential debate in 2015- "Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the next face of our president?! I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not supposed to say bad things, but really folks come on. Are we serious?"

His belief that women should be subject to some kind of punishment for having an abortion (once they are made illegal).

That one time he threatened to blackmail Heidi Cruz.

4. Women in the military

According to Trump, men and women can't be in the same workforce together without assaulting each other.

5. Refugees

"I can look at their faces and say, 'Look, you can't come here.'" (Donald Trump's response to Syrian children looking for asylum in the U.S.).

6. Other Republicans

You know it's bad when even the party you're running for doesn't want you to win the nomination.

7. More Mexicans

Because "Mexico is not our friend."

8. Muslims

According to Trump, Muslims don't like history books, have "a whole thing with swine and animals and pigs, and you know the story - they don't like them," and deserve to be shot with bullets dipped in pig's blood.

9. Muslim women

Remember when a Muslim woman silently protested at a Trump rally, was forcibly removed by the police, and Trump supporters yelled "you have a bomb!" at her?

10. Mac Miller

Looks like someone wasn't a fan of Miller's "Donald Trump" (circa 2011).

11. People who know how to spell "honor/honour"

But your IQ is "one of the highest," right Donald?

12. Bette Midler

The only good to come out of this tweet was Midler's response.

13. African Americans

"These are not the people that made our country great." - Donald Trump on black protestors. If Trump doesn't approve of blacks protesting racial inequality, than how does he think the civil rights movement came to be?

Bonus: "Laziness is a trait in blacks" (Which Trump said in response to a lawsuit against him for not renting to blacks).

14. Madonna fans

Donald, I'm sure Madonna would walk out on you too if she had ever had the chance.

15. People with disabilities

"Now the poor guy, you gotta see this guy..."

16. Future black presidential hopefuls

Remember Trump thinks he's the least racist person on Earth.

17. Poor people

What a hard life; Trump definitely understands the financial struggle of millions of Americans.

18. Hispanics (and blacks, again)

This isn't going to help Trump's rocky relationship with the Hispanic and Latino/a community, nor his "get tougher on crime" criminal justice policies.

19. Indonesia

Indonesians aren't your biggest fans either, Donald.

20. Kristen Stewart

Apparently Donald's a relationship expert too.

21. The birds

Donald, you may want to question your campaign. Even the national bird of the country you're running for doesn't like you.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
