“Trump or Dump” is a quote said by many uninformed people. People make comments that are against the candidates, formed by others opinions not their own. Did you meet the candidate? Did you follow that specific candidate to better understand them? You can have your own opinion, but you need to understand what their views are before you make statements. My family supports Donald Trump and what he is for. I personally don’t care for any of the candidates.
Politicians throughout the states think that Trump is the worst way to go. Many people complain about the things he says and how he goes about them. What about everything else that’s happening in the world? While you sit there complaining about nonsense, someone’s out there fighting for their life. Focus on the more important things in life, rather than worrying about what Trump does.
While we are focusing and rioting about Trump, we are causing more damage than he alone would cause. Many people are getting hurt and/or badly injured because we don’t want Trump in charge. That is stupid. I’m 17 and definitely not a wiz at politics or anything that involves the government, but I at least have the knowledge to say, “Grow up.” You say he can’t “make America great again”? At least he is trying. You sit there complaining and making yourself look ridiculous, as well as showing everyone your maturity level is outstandingly low.
Something that many people as well, as myself, have a problem with is the wall Trump wants to build. He wants to send all illegal immigrants back and build a huge wall on the Mexican border. The worst part is that he wants to tax Mexico so we will have enough money to pay for the wall. Their skin color is darker, they may speak Spanish, but does that really make them that much different? Seriously, no. They are the exact same as you and everybody in this world. Trump believes he is better than everyone; he takes things for granted and is careless. He gets handed money and works for nothing.
I personally don’t think we need immigration papers to be considered a part of the U.S. community. We may be somewhat overpopulated, but if we didn’t have the “awful and pesty” illegal immigrants that he wants to send back, who would pick our vegetables or do the jobs that American citizens aren’t taking?
You’re not going to agree with everything about each candidate, but that’s life. You have different viewpoints and opinions than others. Trump decided he wanted people to hear the issues he had, he chose to run for president and make a change.
No matter if he succeeds or fails, at least he tried; you can do the same.
