Why is Trump So Childish?

A look into Trump's recent comments about the "rigged" election

Why is Trump So Childish?

Donald Trump has made recent claims that the election is rigged and that he won’t believe it if he loses the election on November 8th an accusation that hardly has any real evidence to it.

I am unbiased of Trump as a candidate, but it is immature of him to put this blame on the system. This is not the first instance of him saying this either. Back in 2012, he went on a rant about the Emmy's and claimed that the Emmy’s were rigged because his show The Apprentice never won an Emmy. He said on Twitter, "I should have many Emmys for The Apprentice if the process were fair-in any event, it's not my day job."

This just goes to show that Trump is a sore loser and feels like he needs to put the blame on anyone but him for losing. It’s like a child pouting and whining to their mom that the other kid was cheating on a game.

Not only does this show or indicate that Trump is a seemingly sore loser, but it also is a poor strategy to excuse poor performance on his part. He can talk the talk as much as he wants and he does, but now he is trying to blame the voting population for any mistake he might have made during his campaign which is poor etiquette and sportsmanship on his part.

What really irritates me though is that his message is attacking the country's voting system. His comments could lead to the discouragement against voting because people could easily believe his tantrum and decide what’s the point of me voting if it is a rigged system? It is very important for people to vote if they are legally able and anything that could discriminate from that should be taken seriously, and it is especially disturbing that one of our presidential candidates might be the one to stop people from voting.

Sadly, this is not the messiest thing that has come out of Trump's mouth and honestly the man disgusts me after the "locker room" comments came out since hello I am a woman and don't feel that sexual assault should ever be joked about even if it is just among "the guys." But the whole debauchery of him claiming that the election is rigged just because he thinks he is going to lose is ridiculous.

This goes without even mentioning his allegations against the media. Recently he has been claiming that the media is also rigged so add the media to the long list of things Trump thinks is crooked in this country (Trump, did you ever stop to think that they might just not like you?).

He said recently about Alec Baldwin's portrayal on SNL, "Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me. Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!"

He can't even take a joke that many candidates have been given on the popular skit show.

Now I am not political and honestly don't have a right to tell anyone who they should or should not vote for and by all means vote for Trump if you want, but just know that this man believes he can stoop to this immature strategy of pointing his finger at everybody else but him.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
