Donald Trump Is Not My President

He might be the President of the USA but he is not the President of me.

Donald Trump Is Not My President
NotJersey

In light of the recent inauguration of the second coming of Hitler, you've probably heard the term "NOT MY PRESIDENT".

Many people who are not fighting for their rights, not worrying about the safety of their friends and family, their education or really anything else for that matter use the phrase "Not My President" to make fun of liberals (and everyone else fighting against Donald Trump because for once, it's not just the liberals).

"Not My President."

We are not idiots.

We have comprehended and accepted the fact that we have a Cheeto as a leader of our country, supposed to be the Land of the Free.

We KNOW that he is the President of the United States of America.

He might be the President of our country but he is not the President of us. He is everything I have fought against my entire life. When you think of who the president should be, you think of someone who is by your side on the most important issues in your life; whether it be wanting equal pay as a woman, wanting rights to our own bodies, not worrying about whether our next door neighbor is going to get deported. We should not be worried about if we will be able to afford education. We shouldn't be worried about our children's education because the person now in charge of public education who is a billionaire that never had to worry about how they would pay for their education. We shouldn't have someone who doesn't care about students, the teachers, or the education but ladies and gentlemen, Betsy DeVos. Excellent choice, Donald Trump. You've truly outdone yourself this time.

This country needs a leader who cares about the children of the future, not someone who's pushing people out who have different beliefs. Our leader shouldn't ACTUALLY believe that America should be a Christian nation when this country was built on a certain foundation called, well I don't know: THE CONSTITUTION.

"Not My President"

because love Trumps hate.

because I am a NASTY woman.

because you will NOT grab me by ANYTHING.

You're missing the point if you actually think I don't know that Donald Trump is the President. He does not represent me or many other Americans. His proposed policies are living nightmares. The people who are saying "HE'S YOUR PRESIDENT, GET OVER IT!" are the same people who were protesting President Obama because they wanted to see a birth certificate (more-so because he was black but because I don't want to offend any in-the-closet racists, I'll leave it at his birth certificate.)

He is not my president.

He is an enemy of everything I've ever believed in.

So I'll leave this here for everyone:

Please stay informed. Please be aware of your rights. Please do not stop fighting. We do not have to sit back and watch our country burn.

He is not my President. Not now, not ever.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
