We got the alerts, saw it all over our news feeds on social media, and through family and friends that were watching the 45^th president being inaugurated. Many didn’t think this day would come, but it eventually did as Trump has taken the oath and given his speech. Many are asking how much can he get done with his four years. Well, that is not even the question anymore because he has caused some real damage in the last week he has taken office.

He has continued to create a divide among the country. In the last week that he has been in office, he has shown the world that the United States may not be great at all. He is creating an image that says we hate all types of people who do not fit into his great America. He has created lies about himself to boost up his self-esteem which normally bully’s do this when they feel that compensate for what they fear.

So, Mr. 45^th what are you compensating for? The real facts are that nobody showed up to your inauguration because you are not liked. There weren’t any illegal votes that were cast during the election, just truth that was being cast. But I guess it was not enough to keep you out the oval office. Oh, and I’m sorry to tell that Mexico is not paying for that precious wall of yours. If you want to keep the country safe, then why don’t you use your money to fund the wall. I guess you can’t because you’ll never show your tax returns.

However, I want to give you the benefit of the doubt that you could probably do some good and bring on changes that no other president could have. In all honesty, I tried. Now I can’t because I feel as if I should stand up for who I am and what I believe in. You don’t represent me and what I believe in, you don’t know what is like to be a Latina in this country, or the sacrifices my family made to get where I am today. You don’t know because all you think you see are cartels, criminals, and rapist which isn’t the reality Mr.45^th. You are the person I’m supposed to look up to and gain some type of confidence that our country will be OK from. But no, not when you start to introduce lies and misinform the people.

Instead of trying to bring this nation together you are tearing us apart. Yet, I am not going to let that happen. You see Mr.45^th, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. That light of mine burns with determination, and I will not be a bystander to the mess that you have caused. I will be the advocate for those who feel they don’t have much of voice or feel like they don’t matter. To me, they natter. I matter. We all matter because we were once a nation of immigrants, a place where one could start off with a clean slate, and a place where everyone can be safe.

So, President Trump, you can build a wall, deport my family, ban my friends, and take my body away from me but one thing you can never take away from is my pride and belief. You do not represent who I am. I, myself, represent who I am to the world, and I will show them the real and uncensored views and opinions. You sir, are no president of mine.
