Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton Do Not Deserve to be President

Donald J. Trump and Hillary Clinton are clearly unfit to be the next President, and it is saddening to say the least

This presidential race makes me sick. It is absolutely disgusting. I am unable to escape the media lunacy that is the 2016 presidential election.

In one corner we have the criminal and crooked Hillary Clinton. She may seem politically apt to assume the office of the President, but, I would not trust her with being my class president, let alone the President of the United States of America.

In corner number two we have the heinous, terrible Donald J. Trump. This man is a sorry excuse for a person that cannot and will not stop running his mouth, spitting insults, and spouting lies long enough to have anyone take him seriously. These two sorry excuses for presidential candidates have led me to make one very bold claim: Neither of them deserve to be the next President of the United States of America.

The media has come an extremely long way in the last five years. The advent of social media outlets such as Twitter, Vine, and mobile media apps have forever changed the way political elections are held. This year, every single thought that Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton have had for the past 12 months has been put out onto the internet for the whole world to see. Each thought is instantly scrutinized and debated to no end, inevitably ending in the people of the internet insulting one another simply for agreeing with something.

Some of Trump’s greatest hits include snippets about Mexico building a wall on the border and countless insults against women, minorities, and many other groups. As for Mrs. Clinton, her campaign has been an endless battle against her email scam, and her many lies in her past, including the Benghazi and her trouble when President Bill Clinton was in office.

After hearing ceaseless barrages against both candidates, as well as support for each, I am unable to put my faith in either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.

The President of the United States needs to be someone that people can trust, not someone that lies about war conflicts and has had government emails stolen due to negligence. The President of the United States should also be someone that is tolerant and understanding, not someone who brazenly insults may different groups while not caring whether their “facts” are right or wrong. The President of the United States should be someone that is honest, yet tough; someone that is ready to face adversity, and not lie their way out of it. The job of President of the United States does not belong to either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, and I wish more people in our great country saw that. Instead of choosing the "lesser of two evils," citizens need to pick a proper candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
