5 Thoughts On Trump's Visit To Mexico
New York Magazine

As I read the headlines in various social media, I kept thinking it was a joke. Surely someone who has insulted a country, its people and its values wouldn’t dare step foot in that land right? If not for pride, for shame at having said such mean things. Boy, was I wrong, and Trump’s visit to Mexico really did happen. Then, after recovering from the shock, I started analyzing the situation and here are five thoughts that sum up my intake on this event. But first here's a little video:

1. What in the world was Mexico’s president thinking?

It’s not like Mexico is oblivious to everything Trump has said about Mexicans. If Mexico’s president, Enrique Peña Nieto, is already on red numbers with his popularity with the whole corruption issue, why would he willingly walk into more trouble? Perhaps he thought that by doing something stupid, people would forget about the fact that he plagiarized 29% of his thesis.

2. How did Mexicans react?

I have a guess about this one actually. I base it off of the fact that we’ve even made piñatas of Trump to symbolize how much we hate him when we mercilessly hit the piñata with a stick.

3. How can someone be so two-faced?

It was disgusting the way he read vile lies from his script expressing his love, appreciation and admiration for Mexico and its people.

4. If now he is changing the words he’s been saying his whole campaign, then what do his followers say?

I have no idea why Trump even has any followers, but since they all seem to come together in their shared hatred towards different skin colors, what did they do after seeing their idol throw sweet words at Mexicans? They were probably thinking that since now their master is nice to Mexicans, the wall he claims to build will be painted with rainbows and flowers, you know, to make it more friendly.

5. Why haven’t we banned Trump from Mexico?

I’m pretty sure there was a petition floating around somewhere. Why can’t the Mexican legislature approve it?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
