I am
writing this at my dad’s house. This is important because as much as I try to
get away from this election it keeps on following me around everywhere I go. Whether
it be thoughts or simply people wanting to talk about it with me. So I figured
paper four could help me express some of my frustration and give me a challenge.
DISCLAIMER: I did vote for Donald
Trump. I planned on not voting but on election day I received a series of calls
from Aunts and Grandmas yelling at me to vote for Hillary. I said fine, I will
vote, just not for who you want. My uncle has unfriended me on Facebook and
thanksgiving became awkward to say at least. I still believe in people’s right
not to vote but people have a right to vote for Trump as well. I told our class
that I would not be fear mongered into voting for Hillary and I was not. I didn’t think Trump was going to win and
with a heavy heart I voted for Trump because during thanksgiving my family
looks like the U.N I did fear for them. When I voted for him , it was something
different and I was not afraid of a prospect of a trump presidency and somedays
I have to pinch myself to make sure I’m still in the real world. There was some
type of awesome redemption story about watching Hillary lose to Donald after
all of the shady stuff DNC pulled on Bernie. No one thought Donald was going to
win, on show This Week with George Stephanopoulos they literally laughed at Keith
Ellison and Cenk Uygur on two separate occasions on even the idea of Trump winning. The media and Hillary’s weak sauce campaign
is why Trump won not because of Bernie Supporters, America being sexist and not
enough blacks coming out for Hillary. The ONLY person to blame for Hillary’s
loss is Hillary. If I didn’t already have seven pages on Donald’s policies I
could totally write a paper on how Hillary lost and she was the worst
politician in history.
“Why Donald
Trump will make a good president or In real terms the best in the 21st
century!”
Donald Trump is our future president, few words that anyone
on November 26th 2016 would think we’d be saying but this is our
reality. A lot of people are either pessimistic or scared of a Trump
presidency. I am actually very optimistic on the matter. So here is why Donald
Trump could easily be the best president of the 21st century.
Crazy rants
Trump said a lot of crazy shit, let’s be real. A lot of it
was racist, misogynistic and downright terrible. I don’t believe this was the real Trump.
Think about it every week during the primaries he would say something crazy and
then get a ridiculous amount of free publicity (3 billion dollars worth to be
exact). Why would you stop? Say crazy thing, people see that, win primary and
do that until I’m the nominee. It made since just as cheating on your taxes or
picking someone as terrible as mike pence as your running mate. You can’t lose,
Trump has a history of doing bad things that work for him. Pick pence, cant be
impeached/ cheat your taxes, don’t pay taxes for 15+ years/ say crazy stuff,
become the nominee. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
Let’s get the bad stuff out of the way.
Gay rights: Did you
know Trump held a gay pride flag at a Colorado rally. This was not reported
widely even with the fact that the journalist carousel that followed him was
there. Trump asked a gay trump supporter for his flag and held it high and said
“I’m here for all Americans” and if you look up quotes of trump saying negative
things on gay people, you really can’t find any and he won’t repeal Gay
marriage, he said that has already been settled, at a federal level. Now people say Mike Pence, mike pence and
MIKE PENCE! Yeah but he’s VP and they don’t do anything and he was picked for
this reason. No democrat in their right mind would impeach Trump because of Mike
Pence believes gay people are witchcraft practicers and he believes he can make
them straight through electric shock therapy.
Mike Pence literally took money out of planned parenthood to shock gay
teens that is some really evil shit. Like Andrew Jackson evil such as
convincing Indian tribe A’s men
to wipe out B but while A’s men are gone they wipe out A’s women and children.
Trump won’t get impeached by republicans because most of those guys are riding
Trump’s coattails and lot of them would be out of a job without him. Trump’s
overwhelming victory and Mike pence’s craziness makes him unimpeachable.
Racist Trump Supporters: Trump talked a lot about draining the swamp
but he may have inadvertently drained the swamp when it comes to all of the his
violent racist supporters. Again these supporters are a very small portion of
his 62,000,000 million supporters but there is enough of a problem to garner
some media attention. Did I wake up in some post mad max world or am I still in
2016 where the laws are fully enforced and if someone calls you a slur, you
don’t have to give them your attention, just like how you deal with a bully. I
supported trump and I would fight anyone who called my black sister the N-Word.
That guy is probably a redneck hillbilly and I was born in North English, Iowa
let’s dance! As a white guy, I have
never experienced racism towards me but I would ignore it, fight against it just
as If I was being bullied. I think these people have taken Trump’s primary
rhetoric to heart when he was just saying crazy stuff to beat the other 17
republicans. Trump told this supporters to knock it off but these are the type
of men that can’t be reasoned with they just want to watch the colored world
burn. After they all get arrested, they will be off the streets and America
will be less racist.
Terrible cabinet picks: Trump has picked some terrible people
to run very important things in his cabinet. Such as a climate denying person
to run the EPA but again Hillary’s lead on her transition team was a pro-fracker, so I guess that isn’t that
big of a change. Someone who was for privatizing all schools is now in charge
of education. I believe either two
things will happen with this issue. One
Trump being more progressive than the average republican and than will see his
popularity numbers drop plus twitter feed turn negative. Trump will fire which
ever idiot at any given time and than put someone whos views line up with his.
Trump has to hire around 3,000 people before January 20th and he had
no pre-picks because he didn’t think he was going to win. This has caused Trump
to lean more towards generic republican picks rather than “outsiders” because
simply doesn’t have the time to spend trying to find these supposed “outsiders”.
Two:These terrible picks get to run a muck. This will still work out for the
better for the country because they will screw everything up so royally and by
2020 democratic party will be a progressive one that actually represent the
working people and they will defeat Donnie small hands.
Muslim Ban: for one, Muslim is a word for someone who follows
Islam. Anyone and their mom can follow Islam, by that logic you can’t tell who
is Muslim or who isn’t. Meaning a ban on Muslims is nearly impossible and a lot
of political experts say that the ban will not pass because the House or Senate
does not want to touch that political poison.
Even Trump since the election has been kind of meh on the whole “ban”
thing.
The Great Wall of Trump, Trump said “were going to use the
best rocks” or some of his infamous jabs such as “the wall just got 10 feet
higher”. After he won the election news came out that the Great Wall of Trump
is going to be an over glorified fence extension. Don’t worry it can’t be as
expensive as the Pentagon’s 1.5 trillion-dollar jet that can’t fly. you know
under Obama!
Global warming: Trump
said during the campaign that “climate change was made up by the Chinese” but
now again in an amazing turn around, Trump admits 'some connectivity between
human activity and climate change” this is more left than the republican party
and this new position change can only mean good things for the climate and it’s
not like the Obama administration was
really pushing for the fight against climate change anyway.
Deporting twelve million illegals: for one this was just as
far out as the wall. You would need a 100,000 buses to complete this. This is
not going to happen. Since his general election win he Now says that he would
deport illegals with criminal records what he estimated would be more around
2-3 million instead of 12 what makes it much more feasible and it would be a
hard argument for the left to make not to deport people who have a past of
being bad for society.
The Good stuff
TPP: Trump is against the TPP and that’s a Yugge part of why
he won. He actually meant it while his opponent said it to
appease the Bernie people who she would later abandon for moderate
republicans. Wisconsin, Michigan and
Pennsylvania have a massive dependency on manufacturing for their economy. Their
memory has not faded enough from Billy C’s Job killer NAFTA and when his wife
says she was against NAFTA’s little brother TPP, people just don’t believe her
and why would they. TPP is not only
written by corporations for corporations but was the day where young
twelve year old william who knocked door to door for our first black president
who was going to change a America and got me to say Yes We Can died to me and I
woke up and saw that Obama was a corporate shell in a new coat of paint. I had
so much hope for an Obama presidency and he created a coalition of millions
young people and then he became president and disbanded them. I think
historically people have not been excited for a candidate like that since JFK.
For what, Half assed single payer, Led pipes in Flint and a republican nominee
for the supreme court.
Infrastructure: This
was something that has bipartisan support and would be great for the economy.
Bernie’s infrastructure plan was similar to this and it was going to invest 1
trillion dollars in U.S roads, damns and bridges and I think with a trillion dollars
we could build a few wind turbines to fight global warming because I think that
the outcry for some of this money to fight global warming will be so strong
that trump will include some for that. This plan if similars to Bernie’s would
create 13 million jobs. So again it’s Trump’s ball park since the republicans
own congress this seems like a no brainer , so passing this would not only be a
easy win for him but a easy win for the country.
Term Limits: Trump has said numerous times that he wants to
put term limits on congress, this would be great because in Iowa alone, we have
Chuck Grassley who has been in the government since 1959 and that makes his
political career almost as old as my dad’s life and he is almost a senior
citizen. He is also an 83yr old and he just won a six year term >:(.This is
very popular among the American people with 75% of Americans for Term limits
for Congress. I imagine that it would have to be new members of congress and
not the current ones. This again is another positive for Trump. There is one
slight problem that the only way this could get done is if they amend the
constitution and congress for the past eight years can’t even tie their own
shoes but hey we can hope right! 
Peace with Russia:
people were scared because how much Russia wanted Trump to win but this
isn’t scary, this is quite calming for me. For the past couple of months NATO
forces have been pushing up on the Russian border and Hillary also talked about
putting a no-fly zone on countries bordering Russia. This is dangerous and very reckless. I repeat
,we cannot have a war with Russia because that will be the end of humanity.
There is no quarrel about it. The best case scenario in the 21st
century is that it will end up like the Korean war with nothing changing. Yeah
there was a reason Russia was celebrating because they don’t like war either.
This could also cause the U.S, Russia, Europe to all be on the same team and
this has not happened since pre-world war two. This could cause the end of the
refugee crisis because the U.S and Russia have been fueling the Syrian civil
war.
How Trump could literally kill the Democrats: If the republicans
are smart they will follow Trump’s lead on social issues, Economic and
hopefully global warming. If working people have jobs, new roads and everyone
can express their views then why would people vote for the democrat. 51% of
people in the United states make less the 30,000 dollars, if Trump can significantly
change that than what will be left for the Democrats todo really? Do I believe
this will happen? probably not but crazier things have happened. We could be
looking at the next Reagan? For a future republican party that doesn’t care
about social issues, admits climate change is real and is an economic
powerhouse when it comes to polices. This could make Democrat’s irrelevant. Why
would we need to shoot for the star or progress when things are already fine?
just saying!
Conclusion
Was Trump my
first pick No? but was he my last? not necessarily. I think Trump was in my top
five at least. Now that he’s our president elect, We have to give him the
benefit of the doubt. Some people want to stay negative but I think they would
be surprised on how far being positive would get them, Trump’s success is our
success.
