The Assassination of Lady Liberty by the Coward Donald Trump
The late, great, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson once described Richard Nixon as the living embodiment of everything wrong with the American populous, down the line. The comparisons drawn between that infamous leader of the free world, and the one currently seated in the cushy mansion on Pennsylvania Avenue, are too plentiful to describe in any well-thought out, cohesive piece of writing. As such, this writer will not pursue such a fool’s errand. Instead, he’s going to do something infinitely more ridiculous.

Is Donald Trump the Worst President Ever?
Many people are under the impression that Donald Trump is the worst president ever, and, in all honesty, they have good reason to feel that way. Trump has proposed unpopular bills and policies – most of which have been rejected by either the House, Senate, or the judicial system. He has angered plenty of people, lied to the public, disclosed national secrets in order to brag, and, despite talking a lot, has backed up none of his (unpopular) promises.

Dear Mr. (Fake) President
Dear #45, It’s hard to choose the words to communicate with you. I don’t have any comparable person in my life as an example to gauge how to proceed. Because, unlike you, the majority of people I know and routinely interact with are kind and moral. They have a sense of right and wrong, they have empathy and a conscience too.

Not Like a Business
Leading up to the last election, a lot of people said things along the lines of, "Trump will be good because he's a businessman, not a politician, and he'll run the government like a business." Somehow, enough people were confused enough to think this was a good idea, and enough of them voted that way, so with the help of the winner-take-all electoral vote distribution in all but three states, Trump managed to win by the largest losing margin in American history. It was a big margin. Really big. And he lost by it, but the Electoral College turned that around and gave him the White House anyway.

Fighting the Good Fight
That quote from John F. Kennedy is based on one in Dante’s Inferno and boy is it applicable to the recent events happening in the United States. On Friday, white supremacists marched on the Virginia Tech campus wielding tiki torches. I shit you not. The Internet got their jokes in (as they always do) because nothing is intimidating about a mob of preppy, privileged white kids supporting a disgusting cause — I guarantee it won’t get you laid. If you’re reading this, and you fall into the “preppy and privileged” category, I’m sorry that Julie didn’t kiss you during spin the bottle in 7th grade. Also, I’m sorry you have no moral compass.

Trump's Truth
Armed men march with swastikas, Nazi flags fly high and racist and anti-Semitic White supremacist slogans are shouted without shame. This is not Germany in 1933, but Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017. Counter protestors cried out in opposition only to be crushed by the terroristic roar of an engine and the death of Heather Heyer. I sit here in Israel, writing from Tel Aviv, heartbroken. Heartbroken that this brand of vitriolic hatred is still a loud voice in my American home, heartbroken that the President of the United States struggled to condemn Neo Nazism and White Supremacy and heartbroken that the land of the free and home of the brave may no longer a home for me, an LGBTQ+ Jew.

President Trump Is A Dangerous Narcissist Backed Into A Corner
Psychiatrists should be on TV every single day screaming at the top of their lungs about the extreme dangers of having an extreme narcissist as Commander in Chief of the United States of America. Narcissists can't be wrong. It exposes their deep-seated insecurities and fears. This is why Trump HAS to attack anyone who questions him in any capacity. Narcissists would rather take you down with them then to have you "win" any argument. This is what makes President Trump so dangerous. His entire ego was built on his constant exposure in the press all these years, and his ratings on the television show "The Apprentice." The daily meltdown that we are all witnessing was all too predictable. I have been calling out Donald Trump as a dangerous narcissist for over a year now, but even I was taken aback at his rambling narcissistic attack on The Free Press on Tuesday, August 22nd in Arizona.

Barron Trump Needs a Break
As someone who has not been the biggest fan of the current United States president, I get how easy it is to go after Donald Trump’s policies and really, his overall approach to the presidency as a whole. Perhaps one of the most shocking moments of his eight months in office—beyond his apparent support of neo-Nazis and white supremacists as a whole, it seems—is when he admitted that the job of president was far more difficult than he thought it would be. Let’s face it—excoriating Donald Trump for being the pompous, apparently bigoted politician that he is has become easy in no small part due to his unabated tweeting everything from the Saturday Night Live sketches he doesn’t like to policies he’s decided to implement via Twitter.

Dear Donald, How Are You Helping Americans?
Dear Donald, Since you've become president in January of 2017, you have turned our nation upside down. You have managed to destroy everything that Obama put into place and made our country a laughing stock. In your eyes, you obviously feel that you're one of the best presidents to lead America. However, you are an utter embarrassment and have made our country look extremely uneducated.
