Why Donald Trump Is An Embarassment To Our Nation

When it comes down to it, I'd rather have a potential bad president for four years instead of a racist clown infiltrate the White House.

Why Donald Trump Is An Embarassment To Our Nation

It's all over the news.

The outlandish orange clown has done it again- only this time, (according to the GOP) he's gone too far.

The multimillionaire who values his properties over the lives of humans has been exposed in a leaked video from 2005. The video involves a lively "locker room" conversation between Trump and Access Hollywood host Billy Bush. Trump is heard saying lewd and vulgar remarks that include his bragging about grabbing women by their private parts, groping them, and kissing them.

We've all heard Trump say sexist remarks. He's told women that dropping to their knees must be "a pretty picture". He's called Rosie O'Donnell an "animal" and a slob". He's even offended fellow Republican Megan Kelly by attributing her rebuttal against his sexist remarks by blaming her menstrual cycle.

This is a man who has no respect for women. This is a man who is a racist. This is a man who resembles pure ignorance.. It says a lot when people from his own party are refusing to vote for him and scrambling to get him out of the running.

But Trump's ignorance says more about us than anything else. May I remind everyone that we VOTED him into the election. Yes. We voted a man who brags about infidelity, who brags about his sexual conquests, who brags about his own daughter's sexual appearance. This is the man who has had rape charges against his own ex wife.

The disgusting video that has been the subject of all news does not surprise me one bit. This is the man who has been chosen as a potential leader. The same man endorsed by the KKK.

I live in a city full of immigrants. It shocks me that so many of the people around me, who are first or second generation immigrants would even vote for this guy. This Cheeto puff is literally saying that he wants to deport immigrants, yet I'm surrounded by people who still want to vote him in. My question is why? How?

Personally, I'm not the biggest Hillary Clinton fan. Read my previous articles ; I was (still am) an avid Bernie Sanders supporter. However, I accept the reality that this race, whether I like it or not, is between Clinton and Trump. When it comes down to it, I'd rather have a potential bad president for four years instead of a racist clown infiltrate the White House.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
