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.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
