6 Gifts We Should Give Donald Trump For His Birthday
Buffet World

Author’s note: I’m not particularly versed in politics. I just know that Trump as president is not a good idea. Additionally, this is a kind of mean article. Reader discretion is advised.

June 14th marks the 70th birthday of Donald Trump. But despite all of his years on earth, he still hasn’t learned how to be a decent human being. Here are six gifts we should give Donald Trump for his birthday.

1. A clear understanding of a president’s position

If you look at a few of Trump’s policies you can see that he doesn’t understand where the president fits in the American political system. For instance, he frequently mentions that he will alter military spending. But the truth is that the president doesn’t decide things like that. And for good reason. Three branches of government keep any one power from ruling, and deviations from this could have Hitler-like consequences. For his birthday, we should educate Trump (and all his die-hard supporters) about the role of a president.

2. Several years of psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, also called talk therapy, can help alleviate narcissistic personality disorder. I am not a doctor, but I honestly think Trump has this condition. According to the Mayo Clinic here are some signs of this disorder:

  • Fantasies about power, success and attractiveness (I’m seriously not making this up.)
  • Failure to recognize others' needs and feelings
  • Exaggeration of achievements or talents (Trump University, anyone?)
  • Arrogance
  • Unreasonable expectations of favors and advantages, often taking advantage of others
  • Envy of others or belief that others envy you

Trump has demonstrated these behaviors again and again. And maybe the talk therapy will also help him with his compulsive lying.

3. A better research team

Okay, okay. Let’s say that Trump isn’t a compulsive liar. At the very least, he needs a better research team. Out of all the statements PolitiFact, a website dedicated to fact-checking statements of political figures, 41 percent of Trump’s statements been proven false. Likewise, 19 percent have been rated “pants on fire” worthy. A better research team would help Trump lie to the American people in a more believable fashion. That way when engaging in heated discussion about politics in a bar, non-Trump supporters will have a more challenging conversation to partake in. (When battling blatant ignorance, no one wins. When battling well-informed ignorance, a more interesting, enlightening conversation arises.)

4. A realistic way to deal with immigration

Now, I’m going to be honest with you. I don’t have any idea how to deal with immigration, nor do I know if immigration actually is an issue that needs to be addressed. But what I do know is that building a wall isn’t the answer. I mean, not that it’s exactly the same thing, but look how well The Great Wall of China kept out northern invaders.

5. A cage

Not for him. That’s inhumane. I just think he would enjoy having a place to store his hair.

6. A class on bigotry (or respect in general)

I don’t care how many Muslim friends Trump has. I don’t care that he’s got a wife and two daughters or a mother or a nana. Trump is a racist, and Trump is a sexist. Time and time again he exercises palpable disrespect against people that are different from him. That’s not the kind of person I want running my country.

I told you this was going to be harsh. Just know it's in good fun. (Kind of). Happy birthday, Donald Trump. Hope it’s a great day.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.
