Do People Actually Want President-Elect Donald Trump To Fail?

This past election has been, to put it lightly, controversial. Between a political outsider who has never been directly involved in politics, to someone who was under investigation from the FBI. It seems as if this has been the most polarized election that America has ever had, a year of extremes.

However, no matter the rhyme or reason, the outcome is that Donald Trump is going to be the President of the United States on January 20th, 2017. As a result of this and the fast approaching Inauguration date, I have heard a lot of negativity. It seems as if you can't get on the internet or watch the news without seeing protests. Now, I'm a firm believer in standing up for what you believe in, and I believe that it's a Constitutionally given right that you may do so. However, I also believe that it comes to a point where you have to accept that some things are going to happen -- whether you like it or not.

Of all that I have heard about our upcoming President, what bothers me the most is that some people are actually wanting him to fail. That's right -- I have read (on various forms of social media) that some Americans want Donald Trump to fail as President. Now, regardless of your political ideologies, it is absolutely ridiculous to want the leader of your own country to fail, just because you disagree with him. We are one country, all in this together. If he is a horrible leader, then it is all of us that are going to suffer -- regardless of who you voted for.

Democrat, Republican or Independent Come January 20th, Donald Trump will be the President of the United States. If he fails, we are all coming down with him. It's time to start praying for no only the country, but for the leader that will step into power.

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."

Romans 13:1.

It's time that we trust that, even in the face of adversity, God is in control.

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.
