The 45th President


As the election came to an end, the shocking results of Donald Trump's victory as the 45th President of the United States shook the country and even the world. Once the results were finalized, my social media accounts were swamped with shock, disappointment, angry, and even fearful posts. It's so insane! There are videos of protests all over the nation. And even just one day of Trump being POTUS, there are many reports and stories of racism arising and how Muslims are even afraid to wear their hijabs out in public. It's actually very sad to see what the country is currently going through. Choice has simply started a sense of segregation from each other,

Personally, I wasn't for Trump. I was with her. On the upside of things, I know Trump has SOME good issues he plans to take of to actually "make American great again."Although I am not for the wall at any costs, if it was someone else other than Donald Trump himself, then maybe the plans he has wouldn't look so bad. However, I think Donald Trump as a person isn't fit to be POTUS. The president is a role model, someone the nation looks up to, someone the nation needs, and someone who needs to care for their country. Trump does not fall into any of these categories. He doesn't even have any experience in politics!
He is a bully, he is racist, and he talks down on woman and other minorities. The reality that America has voted for this man to lead the country and set our course is embarrassing. The children of this generation are the ones who will be exposed to it the most.

But things happen for a reason. And I still have hope for our country. Maybe this is the kind of waking up the people need. Maybe this is what we need for our country to realize what is best. Right now, we can just hope things actually turn out well.
