Editorial: Trump Dump
Childish, cowardly, boastful, racist, unrelenting, hot headed. These words can all be used to describe the mediocre reality television show host that our country elected. Donald Trump has mentioned several times that other countries are laughing at us. In reality, he is why those countries believe America is a laughingstock.
Ever since Trump took office, several horrid acts have taken place. Our country has discriminated on the basis of religion. Our country has become enemies with the free press. There almost is nothing in the Constitution that our president has not gone against. His definition of great is not what I had in mind. America was great when it was about accepting different religions, races, and cultures. That’s exactly what this country was founded on. Then this hooligan comes in and messes it all up.
The way I put this is simple, the American people have let this dark lord twist their minds until now they’ve become the very thing that they sought destroy. Now this isn’t just a play on words from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, this actually has some truth behind it when applied to this past election. Many people just choose to listen to him because “he is rich” or “he isn’t afraid to say anything.” I’m going to tell you right now, his family was already well off. If I got a small loan of a million dollars, I’d be rich to! It’s simple! You can easily start a business with that kind of money.
I must explain, this is not about who was better, nor who we should’ve voted for. Honestly at this point, does it even matter? The whole “lock her up” ordeal is over and done with. However after all that’s transpired, one item does seem clear: This president can’t take criticism. Seems like every time some says something that can be deemed as criticism, Trump decides to hit Twitter and fire tweet after tweet to refute the claim. Criticism is a good thing. You must be able to take the heat and our president can’t do that. Instead, Trump chooses to waste time that would be better spent elsewhere and start a childish argument against anyone who opposes him. He even said the 2017 Oscar debacle was because of him! Get real!
He won the election but he was still complaining about how many people showed up at his inauguration. Who cares? It’s been done for some time. You’re already president! Why is focusing on attendance a bigger deal than running the country? Some would say that that’s what they love about him, that he won’t back down for “nuttin’ ”, but I’m here to tell you that we don’t need a 70 year old toddler representing our already great country.
Some people get really ticked off about the fact that some people would vote for one side over the other. My point is whether it’s a Democrat or a Republican, or even a Libertarian, we all want what is best for this country and we should get together and try to not elect another Donald Trump. Next time, let’s try to elect someone that can better represent our country, not rule it.

Its funny because we never discriminated against religion in any form. I can only assume by “discriminating against religion” your referring to the travel ban imposed at the beginning of Trumps presidency and I hate to break it to you but the travel ban was based off information allotted to President Trump by former President Barack Obama in an attempt to prevent the immigration of terrorists into the United States. This point also proves invalid do to the fact the George W. Bush and Barack Obama also placed travel bans on middle eastern countries for the same reasons but since it’s Trump it’s considered “racist” when it has nothing to do with race at all. President Trump also hasn’t done anything that could be remotely deemed unconstitutional due to this neat thing we have called checks and balances just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it unconstitutional, sorry. And to say you could “easily start a business with a small loan of a million dollars” is unarguably true any halfwit could do that, but what any halfwit couldn’t do is keep it running and that’s the part everyone is forgetting, Trump had the “business know how” to turn that million dollars into a multi-billion dollar empire, something that most people could never do. And finally Trump’s definition of great is the acceptance of every race religion and culture, it’s about bringing us together as a country and taking away the divide between whites and blacks not making it larger like the Obama administration did at the end of his 2nd term by provoking the Black Lives Matter movement, he’s bringing American business back to America to better our economy by creating American jobs, and he’s showing other countries such as Syria and North Korea that we wont tolerate the irrational behaviors of their leaders and we’ll stand for whats right.
Just because you don’t like him doesn’t mean hes the worst president we’ve ever had.
