Make America Great Again: Why I'm Voting For Donald Trump

As A Young Republican In Today's Crazy, Political World, I Stand Behind Donald Trump Because It Is About Time We Had A President Who Will Put America First

Make America Great Again: Why I'm Voting For Donald Trump

Before reading this, I want to give fair warning that I am in no way, shape, or form, an expert on politics or political coverage.

When many people look at someone my age, they assume that I, like so many other younger people, am caught up in the so-called Bernie Sanders revolution or whatever it is that Hillary Clinton is doing, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. I am officially un-enrolled in a political party because I don't like to get caught up in the politics (pun intended) of what one party said versus the other or what one party wants to vote for/ against versus the opposing party--to me, a good idea is a good idea and it shouldn't matter what party said it. But, after seeing everything that has been unfolding for the election this coming November, I am proud to say that I am leaning more towards the right and, as a young voter, I will be siding with Donald Trump.

It is obvious that Donald Trump is not your average politician. He doesn't come from a political background and he does not have as much political experience as some of the others running in this race, but what he does have is something that America needs--courage. Trump isn't afraid to stand up against those who argue with him and the media who continually twist his words and presents us with the image of a frowning angry man. I view Trump's lack of a filter as someone who is being transparent, someone who is speaking from the heart, someone who is fighting off the overwhelming tide of "political correctness" that is drowning this nation. I have no doubt in my mind what Trump's views are and what his plan is, but I couldn't say the same for Hillary Clinton (who should focus more on handling her multiple FBI investigations). Today's society has become so overly sensitive and Trump isn't afraid to speak out against it.

With a plan for immigration, returning manufacturing jobs to America, and to negotiate better trade deals, Trump plans to put America first and that is exactly what I'm looking for in a president. I want someone who is going to address this nation's massive problem with immigration and illegal citizens, I want someone is going to bring jobs back to this country and bring the economy back on its feet, I want someone who is going to make trade deals that will actually benefit America, I want Trump. I'm tired of turning on the news and seeing the rioting and the destruction that is plaguing this nation, I'm tired of hearing about the trillions of dollars of debt that has gone to foreign countries that you know wouldn't give us a penny if the tables were turned. I'm fed up with the idea that I should have to question if the president of my country has the people of America's best interests in mind.

I don't want to wake up in the morning and see images of people burning the American flag and physically attacking people who did nothing but choose to support a candidate that you didn't agree with, but that is all I see on the news. It is time to take back America and wave the American flag high in the air instead of stamping it into the ground. To be honest, I'm sick and tired of what this country has become and I need--we all need--someone in the White House who is truly going to Make America Great Again.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
