Ever since Trump was elected president, Trump supporters constantly kept saying to give him a chance. They said that despite everything he said throughout the election, he was going to a good president. But ever since his inauguration, everything has gone downhill. In just 8 days, he has managed to get 53% of the U.S. population against him.

Within his first 8 days in office, he has signed off on so many executive orders that affect a variety of different people in this country and around the world. He made an executive order about starting construction on the border wall, and he plans on using American tax dollars to pay for this wall. Then after it's finished he plans on making Mexico reimburse the U.S. for the wall. However, none of this is actually possible. Unless he plans on going to war with Mexico so they can pay for the wall, they aren't going to actually pay for it, no matter what Trump says. At this point, Mexico is done with the U.S. and Trump, they even got to the point of boycotting all of the U.S. companies in Mexico. The U.S. is going to lose a lot of money due to this boycott. But Trump has not realized that yet, he's acting as if this is some kind of game.

On top of that, he put out a ban of all Muslim refugees from 7 different countries, from entering the U.S., also including those who have visas. People's lives are in danger in some of these countries and Trump is just choosing to turn his back on them. He is choosing not to help them in their time of need. Along with this, the people who do have visas and are from these countries are in in danger of being deported or if they are outside the country they are not able to re-enter the country. This is due to the fact that these countries are on some kind of terrorist list and because of this, Trump believes that the people from these countries are some kind of danger; when most of them are fleeing whatever horrible living situations their countries are going through.

Trump has just caused a lot of chaos and has created a lot of tension between the U.S. and other countries. He has completely dismantled what a democracy is and has caused for a lot of issues to grow. A lot of people, especially in other countries, are against what is going on right now in the U.S. For most of us, we don't see it getting any better any time soon. I honestly don't even know what more to expect from him, at this point, all hell has broken loose. I just have to hope for the best.

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.
