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?

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.
