The Facts Surrounding Donald Trump

Warning: The truth about Donald Trump Will be spoken. It may seem cruel or harsh, but it is the truth. The truth hurts, at least when it comes to politics in 2016.

We have all heard bits and pieces of his speeches and what he thinks, but do you really know what Donald Trump stands for and believes? Well, I went to: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/ (Trump's official website) and one of the first things I found was a six step description of how Mexico will "Pay For The Wall.' Very detailed but I do not think it is going to happen. Then I wandered upon his healthcare reform. Trump plans to completely repeal the affordable care act(Obama Care). Trump says he wants to "reduce the number of individuals needing access to programs like Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program we will need to install programs that grow the economy and bring capital and jobs back to America." Well that is a great idea while the rich get richer and the poor get poorer you can take away children's healthcare assistance. He has many plans of what to take away and how to do it but few plans of what he will give America (other than his wall), how he will fix the economy, or how he will reduce the number of people needing government assistance. This will not Make America great again! Trumps thoughts on immigration reform, well there's that wall again, "A nation without borders is not a nation. There must be a wall across the southern border.".Pretty much every idea of his goes back to building a wall or "making America great again". No plan I found on this website will lead America anywear near greatness. So was this what I expected to find after what the media has told us... sadly yes this is exactly what I saw coming and America I am so disappointed you let this man go this far. Trump is a racist, arrogant, pompous man whom we can not allow to run This country(unless into the ground). America Please make an educated decision before you vote we can not let Donald Trump be our Future President(or Dictator). Everyone 18 and older, go out and vote please!

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
