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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
