Donald Trump, "Heebie Jobbies", And Hateful America

Donald Trump is a goddamn maniac and we can't get enough of him.

At some point, you have to come to terms with the awesomeness that is Donald Trump. Not necessarily the type of awesome you would use to describe a really intense action movie with huge explosions, somewhat decent dialogue and a risque sex scene with Léa Seydoux. No, it's more of the awesome that you'd use to describe a shit you took that ended up clogging the toilet, causing irreversible damage, ultimately leaking vivid brown and pungently repulsive fluids out of your bathroom and onto the hallway carpet. And really only "awesome" when you're reflecting on it months after, when the damages have been paid for and the embarrassment stings less, because a girl you really liked happened to be sitting in the living room, both her vision and scent working perfectly fine.

Yeah, so Donald Trump is awesome.

And apparently New Hampshire thinks so too. It's not the latter version, however, and it's actually really terrifying to see people engage with the presumed Republican presidential candidate. His speech on Thursday was initially about renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement, which is supposedly funneling all manufacturing jobs to Mexicans and them alone. But at least this was a somewhat presidential issue that Trump was going to address. Yeah, it's still the same sexist, racist, xenophobic, homophobic rhetoric that he's always pitched, but at least there's some policy that it can hide behind.

That speech, though, got really out of hand when Trump began taking questions and comments from those that attended the town hall. One of which in particular has gained some trending traction.

"Heeby jobbies". It sounds like a quasi-hybrid of heebie jeebies and jobs (maybe fear of losing more jobs?), but I'm not going to give the benefit of the doubt. No, what it actually is is a woman's comment regarding military veterans replacing TSA employees who also happen to be Muslim, an attempt at referring to Hijab, a symbolic clothing article for Muslim women. What's even better is the phrase was said on national television. So if we're lucky, some genius, satirical rapper will use it in a verse in one of their songs.

The idea was directed at Trump, who very simply agreed with her and moved on. His job isn't to correct the woman or at least clarify what she might have meant (could still be job anxiety). But shouldn't it be? To answer myself quickly, no it shouldn't be, because Donald Trump is the physical embodiment of the cesspool breeding ground for the horrific love couple that is hate and ignorance - and then the interbreeding of overwhelming nationalism and arrogance. So criticizing those comments would undermine his entire persona.

But New Hampshire has very callously shown the level of rapport hateful-Trump has garnered with citizens. These people have been fervently told for years now, basically since President Obama came into office, that their values are wrong, or at the very least, misguided. So they repressed those sentiments, grumbling and griping about how their country has been taken away from them. But now they have a chance to alleviate the pressure. They can now praise their spray-tan-savior, obnoxious trucker hat and all, with sickening statements like, "We have a problem in this country. It's called Muslims."

That was also from the New Hampshire speech. It seems like people are feeding off his evil energy. It also seems that he's feeding off theirs. When you jokingly point out a plane flying overhead as Mexican that is "getting ready to attack", as a candidate running for presidential office, you encourage, with an uproarious splendor, the spread of hate.

The months draw fewer until voting, but the message is still the same for Trump and the people cheer louder and the media extends their coverage. And we are left standing, mouth ajar, in the presence of all his shit-clogged awesomeness.

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.
