I'm Tired Of Hearing About Donald Trump

After only a month of his presidency, I'm tapping out.

I'm Tired Of Hearing About Donald Trump
Mashable

Here it is: I'm so tired of talking about Donald Trump and hearing about Donald Trump and watching Donald Trump do things that are ridiculous and taking America a million steps back in terms of environment, economic and ethical strategy. That might come off as hypocritical, seeing as I have written several articles about Trump and his administration, and it might be, but it's the truth. I think everyone can agree that so much has happened in the weeks since Donald Trump became President that it's almost too much to ingest without having a full-on panic attack. Saturday Night Live has said that they almost have too much material based on the new Trump administration, since when did that ever happen with Obama?

I understand that Obama didn't necessarily bring about the fierce change he promised, which caused a lot of blue states to go red (I'm talking about you Michigan & Pennsylvania), but he did bring about change. Obama's strategies were methodical and slow, progressing over eight years and lending to some significant changes that he outlined in his final State of the Union Address, which I highly recommend watching in full if you truly believe Obama did nothing in eight years.

Regardless, his administration didn't fulfill the promises he made during his campaigns, and Trump is already starting to work on the missions he outlined in during his campaign. He promised to build a wall on the Mexican-American border (which most strategists believe is the most expensive and ineffective way to stop illegal immigration), he made an executive order to build that wall; he promised to bring jobs back to America, he has made an executive order to ensure that all steel used here in America, is made here in America, which will bring some jobs back. So I guess my question is, is this what you wanted? I'm not just asking Republicans, I'm asking all who voted for or support Trump, is this what you wanted? The fierce change you didn't see with Obama is here, and it is just everything you dreamed of?

As of now, I'm not going to write about Donald Trump anymore. Not because I don't agree with policies, but because it's just too much. Maybe if an impeachment happens in the next four years (let's hope not, Mike Pence is not any better), you might hear something from me on the topic, but for now I will stay quiet. In this time, it's better to focus our efforts on pressuring our local bodies of government to do what's right in regards to the environment, economy, and ethics that our country was originally built on. Sign up to get updates from your local senators and representatives and make sure you are giving them your input, no matter how small you might think it is, they are here to work for us and vote on behalf of us, make sure they know that.

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.

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.
