Dear Mr. Trump

A public letter to Donald Trump

10
Dear Mr. Trump

Mr.Trump,

While watching your Republican National Convention acceptance speech, I found myself really conflicted with some of your points. Frankly, I was left flabbergasted at some of the lies your team uses to enhance the rhetoric of your campaign. Not to mention, the empty promises you gave to the American people in order to remain truth to your slogan, “Make America Great Again.”

First of all, let’s look at some of the major lies you utilize in your RNC speech. Mr. Trump, you stated, “America is one of the highest-taxed nations in the world.” Well, taking a look at the data provide by the Organization For Economic Co-Operation And Development -- otherwise known as the OCED -- the United States was ranked 27th out of 30 developed nations with a GDP taxation of 26 percent. The top most taxed nation are Denmark (50.9 percent), France (45.2 percent), Belgium (44.7 percent) , Finland(43.9 percent) and Italy (43.6 percent) respectively. This statistically clarifies that the United States is not one of the most taxed nations in the developed world. Instead, we are one of the least taxed nations.

Now, redirecting your attention back to the RNC. During your entire speech, I couldn’t help but notice the few “Hispanic Para Trump” or “Latinos Para Trump” signs. At first, I notice that most of these signs were not held by actual Latinos/Hispanic, but by white Americans. I understand that the usage of these so-called "signs" is to create an increase in the Latino vote. But at least pay some Latinos to hold these sign since "two million more Latinos are in poverty today than when President Obama took his of office..." according to you. Then there is also this...

In closing, Mr. Trump, next time please use more caution when distributing signs. Maybe try to fact check your speeches. If this letter reaches you, I would like to thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
An employed Latino student with no criminal record.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
