Don't Judge Me | The Odyssey Online

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.

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.
