The 2016 election season has been nothing short of entertaining; but I do occasionally feel a tad embarrassed to be an American. If you've actually watched the debates or followed politics this year, you probably feel the same.
Our college town is littered with Donald Trump signs, bumper stickers and flags... yet I've only seen one Hillary Clinton sign, like in my entire life. Which makes me wonder... what's so great about Trump? Why are his supporters so passionate about him? Why does it seem that he has a million more supporters than Clinton does?
Is he a genius; the best leader the USA could ever possibly have?
Here are some pretty important, pure genius things that Donald has said or believes that may cause you to support him if you already don't. LET'S MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
1. Desires to reduce teen pregnancy by using education & contraceptives.
Sex ed in the US needs some serious reform...
2. Believes that arts education is needed in schools.
So important!
3. Says that potential for life begins at conception.
I would say most agree, right?
4. Wants to protect the next generation by paying off national debt.
PLEASE.
5. Says flag-burning should be criminalized.
Do you agree?
6. Family-friendly work policies will benefit businesses.
Pure genius.
7. There should be more funding and harsher punishments for hate crimes.
Maybe this would help?
8. Marijuana users should not go to prison.
Seriously, people spend less time in jail for way worse things.
9. Funding should be available to help America's opiate problem.
Yep.
10. Teachers should have higher salaries.
Duh. Why don't they? It's a pretty important job...
11. Wants green energy to be invested in.
12. Thinks services for people with autism and their families needs improvement.
Definitely.
13. Thinks that giving kids after-school activities can help prevent gangs.
Possible, right?
14. Says that America's best days are still ahead.
SURPRISE: These are all things that Hillary Clinton has said or believes... and you probably thought they were all pure genius simply because someone said they were from Donald Trump.
Please do your research before the election. Vote Trump, vote Clinton, vote third party, or don't vote at all - but PLEASE be educated before you do so. Don't believe everything you read.
PS: there are other options besides Trump and Hillary *gasp* like Jill Stein or Gary Johnson.
