For Trump's Fans, foes, frenemies and Twitter followers.
Open Letter to the Media
To Fellow Members of the Media: There is an issue that can no longer be ignored. It’s not that Susan Lucci isn’t the Oscar-Winner that she should be, though that is an issue for another day, the issue lies in the White House. Unfortunately, that was an unintended pun. Trump has many Americans believing that every news source that reports negatively on him is fake news. How can we solve this problem?

President Trump, North Korea, and the Evangelical Base
The Trump administration focused on two primary talking points this past Friday: Jesus is fine with separating families who are fleeing horrific conditions. Americans should honor President Trump when he speaks with the same reverence as the North Koreans are required to demonstrate.

US/North Korea Summit: Historic Agreement Would Be First of Many Steps to Peace
The impending meeting of Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un is arguably one of the most significant in modern times. It shows either that old enemies are genuinely willing to discuss issues in person around a table rather than go to war, or perhaps it is the realisation that a war of the nuclear kind would crown no side ‘the winner.’

Dear Donald
Many people have their different opinions on President Donald J. Trump. Some believe that he is a monster for securing our borders or for refusing to acknowledge gay pride month. Some believe that he is improving this country more and more with every passing moment. Whatever their opinions may be, President Trump keeps standing for what he believes in, and he is doing everything he can to make this country the best it can be. As for my opinions, here is what I would like for my president to know:

Craziest Pro-Trump Fan Art on the Internet
The internet is littered with pro-Trump fan art. Some of it is crudely photoshopped, other bits are political cartoons, and there are even painstakingly made portraits that reveal significant talent on the part of their creators. Too bad all this effort is going to lift up The Worst of Us! At least this stuff can give us a laugh so long as we don't think about the ways in which these values have already been expressed in American policy and culture for hundreds of years. Whoops; I put that awareness in your head! Ba-Zinga!

Divorce in the Age of Trump
In December of 2016, Time Magazine, citing research from the National Center for Family and Marriage Research, reported that divorce rates had plummeted to a forty-year low and that marriage rates were on the rise. However, less than a year later news outlets began to reporton a Wakefield Research study whose findings painted a very different picture of the state of American romance. It seems that the tides were turning (again), and not in a good way.

Why Won't He Leave Me Alone?
As I make my 40-minute drive home, I find myself not being able to ignore my wrist any longer. I’m not able to resist the constant vibrations even though I am almost home. I go ahead and scroll down on my Apple Watch to see what notifications I’ve received while I’ve been on the road. I find a few news headlines, a text message, and the tweet. I don’t know why I still subscribe to his tweets because most of the time they are always the same. I’ve discovered a pattern of how he tweets and whether it’ll be a rant of sorts. There is nothing more irritating than receiving three or four notifications from Twitter in a row. Especially in the morning when I wake up. The first thing I see is a string of four or five tweets. 6 AM is the perfect time to tweet a rant apparently. I wish he would just stop tweeting so I wouldn’t have to worry about him. It’s almost like a game because I never know what is going to happen next. Staying up to date is great, but sometimes I regret delving into the addictive world of the Apple Watch.

The Trump Movement
When Donald Trump announced his candidacy for President in June 2015, the media and viewers alike brushed it off, simply believing that the self-made business tycoon did not have the experience or temperament to hold such a high office. Now, almost three years since the day he first announced his candidacy and 16 months into his Presidency, questions are still asked as to how voters made Donald Trump the President of the United States.

Top 10 TED Talks on Donald Trump. Top Story - April 2018.
Ever since he announced his run for president, Donald Trump has been surrounded by controversy and the media. It seems that every time he says or does anything, it's all that's talked about until he decides to do it again, and then the cycle repeats. His antics have generated intense loyalty from some, while he's become so outlandish to others that some citizens have theorized that Trump may be Donald Duck. There have obviously been other theories and perspectives on the current president from a variety of different people.

Best Political Gifts For People Who Hate Trump
The perfect gift for the anti-Trump person in your life is going to help send a message to the dumpster fire in the White House. It's not going to be some wacky shirt or a Donald Trump blow up doll that you can wack over and over again. The best way to wack Trump is to practice self-care, amplify the voices of the disenfranchised, and take it to the streets to flex our collective might. The must-have political gifts for people who hate Trump aren't tchotchkes; they're practical tools of fighting against an oppressive and repressive regime.

Trump's Sexism and Misogyny
Donald Trump's sexism and misogyny is well documented. His attitude toward women is that they are less than him. He believes he's entitled to use women, comment on women's bodies, demean women from his platform as President of the United States, and abuse women using the legal system or his own physical strength.
