Obama Fiercely Objects To Trump's Nuclear Weapons Stances

Obama has had enough of Trump and his supporters and this fact could not have been made more clear than during his speech during the Nuclear Security Summit where he questioned Trump's ability to effectively understand the United States' role in global politics. At the event, Obama passionately remarked that Trump's stances suggest that he "doesn't know much about foreign policy or nuclear policy or the Korean peninsula or the world generally."

He followed the dig by reminding the audience that not only are US elections closely followed in other countries, but that the president of the United States needs to "know what's going on around the world." "You don't mess with that" he stated, referring to the United States' relationship and presence in both Japan and the Republic of Korea and the comments made by Trump in a New York Times interview here. The overview of Trump's comments to the New York Times exemplifies his lack of understanding of the relationships that countless American lives have been sacrificed to forge, including encouraging other countries to construct their own nuclear weapons, a practiced that has been generally discouraged since World War II.

Previously, Obama had made anti-Trump statements at the Democratic fundraiser, mocking Republicans who are shocked by Trump's extremist movement. "This is the guy, remember, who was sure that I was born in Kenya. Who just wouldn’t let it go. And all this same Republican establishment, they weren’t saying nothing. As long as it was directed at me, they were fine with it. They thought it was a hoot. Wanted to get his endorsement. And then now, suddenly, we’re shocked that there’s gambling going on in this establishment." Obama reminded the audience, going on to say that that Trump was a result of voters not caring about facts or evidence.

Similarly to his stances on abortion, Trump reversed his previously criticized stances on nuclear arms. When questioned on his stance's contradictory delivery during a CNN interview, Trump said both that nuclear weapons should be proliferated, but then in his next statement, retracted his support.

But are we really surprised when Trump is openly violent, racist and cruel towards the disabled, has made openly sexual remarks about his own daughter, and is anti women.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
