Donald Trump should not be president.

Donald Trump should not be President of the United States. Sorry to those who believe he should, but I’m not actually sorry. I have lost respect for you and I can’t help that. Why have I lost respect for you? Well, let’s explore the reasons why Donald Trump should not be able to touch the presidency with a 100-foot pole.

First, he has no political experience. Despite Donald Trump supporters’ beliefs, this is not a good thing! Another term for no political experience is incompetency. We don’t want an incompetent president, one who does not know how Congress works, who does not know what his duties and capabilities are, who does not know that there is no Department of the Environmental in our government. Even if there was such a department it would be called the Department of the Environment because at least that is grammatically correct (but, again, this department still does not exist). In short, he is not qualified to be president—even when it comes to the economy.

A next big belief of Donald Trump supporters is that he can fix the economy. He can’t! His tax plan will increase the national debt. He can’t even manage his own money, so how would he be able to manage the economy? He has gone bankrupt. Most of his business ventures have failed. Ever eaten Trump Steak? No, because that venture failed. He is a failure.

Another belief of Donald Trump supporters that is wrong? The idea that “he tells it like it is” is wrong, unless telling it like it is actually means lying to the point where I’m surprised his nose doesn’t span the entire United States. According to Politifact, 76 percent or 109 of 142 of his statements that they ranked is either Mostly False, False or Pants on Fire. Only three of his statements that they ranked were ranked as “True.” So clearly “telling it like it is” is actually code for telling lies that sound good and sound true-ish, but are actually incredibly false. And to those who would like to tell me that the liberal and mainstream media are selling these lies about Donald Trump’s lies, let me remind you that there are tapes of Donald Trump pretending to be his own publicist who is lying about the greatness of Donald Trump. There are even records of him admitting to pretending to be his own publicist, and yet some of you will still think that this all a plot of the liberal media to make Trump look bad. But when everyone else is telling you that he is lying, has it ever crossed your mind that maybe he is?

And here is the last reason why I have very little respect for Donald Trump supporters: he is offensive. He has said many racist things. For example, Mexicans are not rapists and saying that they are is a racist statement. He didn’t even condemn David Duke of the KKK when asked to. And yet there are still people who believe that he isn’t racist. He is also sexist. He calls Hilary loud and shrill and made lewd comments about Megan Kelly’s period. He has made numerous statements that devalues women to the beauty of his body. He even said he would be sleeping with his daughter if she was not his daughter because of how beautiful she is. Why would you want this man to be president? I haven’t even mentioned the Islamophobia, yet. A registry, really? Really? Islam is a religion and no one should be condemned because of their religious beliefs!

I am astounded that Trump has made it this far. I can’t believe people actually believe that this man should be president or could make this country great again. Get your heads out of the clouds! He cannot make our country great again by insulting and dehumanizing half of the country.

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!
