Why Trump Should Drop out of the Race

It's not because I don't like him.

If you know me even a little bit, you probably know that I’m not a fan of Donald Trump. This isn’t to say that I’m a fan of Hillary Clinton either, but I do think that maybe she is an all around better candidate than Trump. It doesn’t matter though, because I’m not voting for either of them, and I’m beginning to stray too far from the argument I want to make.

I think Trump should do something useful and drop out, but no, it’s not because of the dislike I have for him.

Since the beginning of his campaign, Trump has been radical in both his words and his actions. A plethora of the policies he plans to propose are not only unethical but also, they are unconstitutional. He speaks poorly in regards to minorities and women. He has no relation to the middle class family, as he started out his adulthood with a million-dollar loan from his father that he describes as “small.” He is the opposite of the perfect candidate, and yet, he is supported by many.

The point is, Trump is a huge step backwards for the United States of America, but he is widely loved.

Donald Trump has divided the Republican Party and his campaign has incited riots all over the country. If he were to drop out now, he would expose the weakness of the entire American government, and its people might be better off for it. If Trump were to make a fool out of his followers and the government by revealing that his entire campaign was a joke, the current state of our politics might change. It is possible that the citizens of the United States will discover the ludicrousness of a two-party system and give more attention to third-party candidates. I know what you’re thinking, and I know that I sound insane. But it’s just wishful thinking on my part.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
