Donald Trump, You Are Literally The Worst

Donald, why are you the way that you are?

Donald Trump, You Are Literally The Worst

In a recent late-night Twitter rant, Donald Trump has managed to secure his claim to the throne as the worst presidential candidate in the history of America. We are all familiar with his raging outbursts, racist comments, and aggressively offensive demeanor, but apparently even the worst can get nastier.

On Friday, September 30, in the wee hours of the early morning/late night, Trump took to Twitter to publicly demoralize 1996 Miss Universe Alicia Machado (the first Miss Universe titleholder after Trump became owner of the Miss Universe Organization) after Hillary Clinton mentioned his past of public abuse towards the former pageant queen.

Machado, a Venezuela-born woman, has been under Trump’s harsh criticism due to her weight gain after her reign as Miss Universe. Trump claims Machado’s weight gain has created significant and consequential issues for the pageant system, and even cited her as his “worse Miss U” in one of his rancid tweets.

Machado has recently opened up about her history with Trump, stating he would often “play around with her” and call her “Miss Piggy” or “Miss Housekeeping." And soon after Machado’s weight gain, Trump organized for reporters to watch her work out at the gym. He even threatened to take her crown from her because of the "issues" she caused for the pageant's image as an organization. While these recollections of former Miss Universe happened years ago, Trump’s nightmarish behavior seems to be exactly the same to this day (as proven by his Twitter escapades).

Trump’s tweets not only attacked Machado, but Clinton herself for trying to use his past with Machado as a point of weakness for his character. In the last tweet of Trump’s tirade trifecta, he not only calls Machado “disgusting," but he also urges Clinton and his 12 million Twitter followers to watch Machado’s “sex tape and past."

I didn’t know part of Trump’s campaign trail was to highlight the mistakes of previous pageant queens in an effort to validate his abominable behavior. Apparently, attacking women’s appearances, citing their physical changes as “major problems” and feeding off the faltering of others is the only way Trump can find credibility for himself.

The political debate has gotten rather petty, and I think we can all agree. Whether it is Trump’s constant attacks on women’s appearances or racist insinuations, or Clinton’s attacks on Trump’s inadequacy to serve an entire nation (which is not a false statement), this presidential campaign race is one for the books. Now all political affiliations aside, Trump’s recent actions have even caused second-guessing among his strongest supporters.

The most notable low blow Trump has pulled out is mentioning the infamous Monica Lewinsky situation regarding Clinton’s husband and former President of the United States, Bill Clinton. Despite being aggressively warned to stay away from this topic, Trump could not help himself to a cheap shot. Typical.

“Hillary Clinton was married to the single greatest abuser of women in the history of politics,” Trump told The Times.

Hmm, that’s funny, Donald. I didn’t know she was married to you?

“Hillary was an enabler, and she attacked the women who Bill Clinton mistreated afterward. I think it's a serious problem for them,” Trump continued to say. So Hillary is an “enabler” of her husband’s infidelity? Wow, it seems like damned if you do and damned if you don’t with this man (reason #102873209317 why a physical brick would be a better president than Donald Trump).

Lastly, Trump said, “She’s nasty, but I can be nastier than she can ever be,” in regards to his presidential opponent. I don’t know about you, but I’ll be moving to Australia if he becomes the next president.

Trump has recently been focusing on attracting more female voters and younger supporters to the polls, but after this irreparable stunt on one of the most used social media platforms in this world, I think it’s safe to say women will be far from checking his name off this November.

I am 18-years-old, and this is the first presidential race that I am eligible to vote in. I can personally attest to the disappointment of new voters everywhere that a man as despicable as Donald Trump is even a considerable possibility for this country’s next president.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
