29 Questions I Have For Our New President

I wanted him to prove me wrong, but so far, he has done the exact opposite.

29 Questions I Have For Our New President

Dear Mr. Trump,

When Emma Lazarus wrote the poem that would later serve as the inscription on the Statue of Liberty, she never imagined that her country’s own leader would try to undermine America’s core values -- "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” Today, thanks to you, I feel ashamed to be an American, but that doesn’t mean I want to leave. I have faith in the ACLU and the American people who are fighting the good fight. Honesty, tolerance, and decency will prevail, but until then, I have a couple of questions at the back of my mind that I've always wanted to ask you...


1. How’s Putin doing?

2. Why did you not wait for your wife to leave the car and walk up with you when greeting the Obamas? It looks like you were ignoring her for a good majority of your inauguration.

3. How do you still have access to your personal Twitter account?

4. Is your @realDonaldTrump account a Horcrux?

5. Do you actually think every media outlet except Breitbart is fake news?

6. How’s Trump University coming along for you?

7. Are you ever going to pay back those small businessmen you stiffed through your flawed methods of business?

8. Why aren’t you fully divesting your business ties and assets?

9. You know that alternative facts are actually lies, right?

10. In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan sought to unite the world by tearing down walls. Why are you so hell-bent on building them?

11. Did you really have to break anti-nepotism laws just so that you could hire your son-in-law as a senior adviser?

12. Why do you want to 26,500 Americans to die because you want to repeal the Affordable Care Act?

13. How do some of your supporters not know that Obamacare and the ACA are the same exact thing?

14. Why do you want to tear families apart with your immigration measures when the Republican Party touts itself as “the party of family and marriage?”

15. Do you realize that the way you talk about your daughter Ivanka is actually really creepy?

16. Have you actually ever been in a locker room? No decent human being would ever talk about or act toward a woman the way you have.

17. Where again is the money for the wall coming from? Because Mexico sure as hell isn’t going to pay for it.

18. Do you realize that torture is not only un-American, but also ineffective?

19. Did you nominate Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education because she donated millions of dollars to the Republican Party?

20. How do you have so much disregard for the world that you can’t even admit that climate change is real?

21. How does it feel to be the most hated man in America right now?

22. Did you not think anything through when you signed that executive order suspending visas from Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan?

23. Why do you fail to admit your executive order is a Muslim ban even though it seems pretty damn clear that you’re targeting Muslims?

24. Why do you want to crush students’ dreams for the sake of your bigotry?

25. Why does your Muslim ban exclude countries linked to your business empire, i.e. Saudi Arabia and Egypt?

26. If Jesus were alive today, would you turn him away because he was a refugee from the Middle East? Or, would you berate him by calling him a terrorist?

27. You see this picture?

This is Anne Frank. You know, the one who provided insight into the anti-Semitic horrors of WWII through her best-selling diary. The American government turned her and many other European-Jewish refugees away when they were trying to escape. Frank died, along with 1.1 million people, in Auschwitz. Do you realize that you’re about to do the same thing for Syrian refugees who are fighting the Islamic State and Asaad’s tyrannical regime?

28. Why did your administration fail to mention the pain and suffering of the Jews in its Holocaust Remembrance Day statement? Did Steve Bannon try to convince you that the Holocaust never happened?

29. How do you say “Make America Hate Again” in Russian?

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.
