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.
