So lately, I've been getting a lot of backlash because of who I support for the Presidential candidacy. Hear me out before you get in line before everyone else calling me insane.

The other night I got in a fight on Facebook with a sophomore in high school. Now, I am entering my sophomore year in nursing school and this kid was calling me uneducated for supporting Trump. Some of you anti-Trump people can't even explain in an actual logical reason why you don't stand by him. I'm not saying he's perfect at all, but when putting him side by side with his competition, I'd rather have him than a woman responsible for thousands of innocent American lives.

To say the least, Donald Trump has turned things from nothing into something. The past presidents that we have had seemed to have strong follower mentalities. The one thing that sets Trump apart from his competition is his ability to speak what is on his mind (a reason you either love or hate about him). It is no surprise whatsoever that America is on a huge downward spiral starting with the crash of Wall Street and the Housing Market in 2008. We lost everything, seemed to be getting better, and well now, here we are.

Compared to our current [resident, I thoroughly believe that Donald Trump loves America and the people in it. Before you jump and scream about "building the wall" and "banning all Muslims," you need to stop and fact check yourself first. He NEVER said at anytime that he didn't want people from other countries living here, he said that he wants them to enter legally, something our current president has no problem turning an eye too. When we opened up the border to Mexico, a lot of positive came over, but so did a lot of negatives. Mexico wrote America off as the time as a place to "dump prisoners and mental patients." Of course, we can also look at the drug trade that has thoroughly expanded and Mexico's involvement with it being so branched to America.

America needs someone to come in and run it exactly like a business—something many people are not too keen on. While all of you scream and yell and post to all these social media platforms about him being a racist and a misogynist and all these horrible things, I think it is important to look back before he was running against the Democrats and remind ourselves that he was never called a racist before stepping up to this plate. In my opinion, many people fear him more than they actually hate him. Reasons being that Trump wants to almost start from scratch and dedicate his four (or eight) years in office to truly "Make America Great Again."

Trump is not a politician, he is a business man. Going back to my opening paragraph, he has made a life turning nothing into something. He has molded a platform and basically flipped off the establishment and this is why many people are iffy in standing with him. Funny how the one word that elected Obama into Office is the one word that scares people into standing with Trump: "change."

He is not rehearsed. He is not taking all the suggestions and money from these people like he could be and turning it into exactly what we've seen in the past. With running his campaign off of only money comes from him should be a big deciding factor to some people that he is standing with the America people and will not let it be bought anymore. We need someone with his mindset to come in and work for the American people. When you fight as hard as him, it is hard to see him as anything other than what he really is: an American.

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.
