Trump's 'Plan' To Defeat ISIS

The travesty of Trump's attack on ISIS.

It has been 150 days at the time of writing since Trump was officially made our president. Now things haven't become the dystopian world that many of us thought it would. Granted we aren't living in vaults, and living out all the other aspects of the Fallout games that I will not list, but there is a lot to be desired. In particular, a lot of the promises he has made. Most notably the crap show going on with Comey really leaves some integrity to be desired, and also the trip he took abroad was overshadowed by the leak that foreign leaders were prepping to serve his favorite meals, use slides with more pictures and less information, and scheduling "down time" AKA nap time into the president's schedule. It really does seem like Geoffrey Baratheon is in the White House.

If only George R. R. Martin could somehow comment on whether or not his character would act in such a way. He has? You can read it here? Well, there you go. You can see what I mean when I say there is a lot left to be desired. Jesus, there is a wing of Vice News right now which exclusively tracks each day of Trump's Presidency. Seriously I'm not lying, and every single day there is a scandal. And you can read these scandals here. The administration is kind of comical. Especially the plan to defeat ISIS. This is perhaps the greatest point that demonstrates the voluntary ignorance many Trump supporters are taking. So in 2016 when Trump bragged about his 30-day plan to defeat ISIS, people ate it up. Guess what? It's been 150 days. This leaves us with two options. (1) He was lying to all of you, he is a con artist, and he duped you. (2) He doesn't think ISIS is a big enough deal to get around to it. I mean, if he did, then he would have taken his 30-day plan and the Manchester and London attacks would have never have happened. But if he isn't a con artist, I guess he would rather just watch people die. No? Ok so then he does have a 30-day plan? No? OK, so he was lying? He was using rhetoric? Do you see how confusing this is?!

I'm sorry it's for being so emotional but I've been listening to several things that have really been irking me recently about the President. The reason this article is titled as such is that that instance really serves to demonstrate that he was either lying the entire time or literally has no idea how the government works. Whichever answer you go with, he comes off looking like a jerk or an idiot. Just like he did when he started criticizing the Mayor of London who was trying to make sure that people were not alarmed by the large police presence, AFTER he had urged people to stay away from the areas where the attack had taken place, fully acknowledging the attack. Trump is quite literally a child, and he's far removed from the "lad on tour" politically incorrect character of Winston Churchill, instead, he is an infuriating individual who refuses to listen to facts or anything apart from his own opinion for that matter.

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.
