Say No To Trump

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.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
