Trump VS Biden
My thought's on it all. It might not matter to anyone else, but I had to get it out since I could not enter the Trump Competition. But this is what I would have entered.
So I am a single mother that does nothing but mostly sit at home with my kids. I used to run my own business cleaning houses. For $10 an hour. But not that COVID-19 hit. It's hard to go out and clean other people's homes.
My kids are not in school every day like they use to be, And people are scared for a good reason, I admit, but some people need to make money. I try making money under the table. It just makes it easier for me. But on the other hand, there are people out here doing way too much.
I heard on the radio the other day that everyone should be double masking. I couldn't believe it when I listened to that—double mask for what.? What is that going to help? It's hard enough to breathe in just one mask. But now they want us to have two of them covering our face. That's just crazy.
Another thing. This whole Donald Trump thing. For one, I'm not too fond of Donald Trump, to begin with; when he became president, I couldn't believe it. I knew as soon as he was in the white house that things were going to fall apart. Look what happened. Everything fell apart. He ran the country into the ground.
Too bad I could not enter the contest on vocal that had to do with Donald Trump. There is just too much to talk about with him. For one, he should not have been president to being with, and He is a business owner with a TV show. Trump was only able to be president because everyone liked his TV show. But that doesn't mean he can do good running the country. What was everyone thinking?
I know I did not vote for him. I am so happy that he is out of office now. I believe he was only there to make the rich richer and the pore porer. Now that he is out of office, I hope the country can get back to normal.
I believe that COVID-19 would not have made it to the US if Trump was not worried about that dumb wall being built and worried about closing down the border when he first found out about the various. I believe it would have saved a whole lot of people if not the entire united states.
Now the entire country is not doing good. People are getting sick left and right. Some live through it, and some people don't. It's sad to think about, but that is what is happening in the US now. If Trump had got in front of all this when he first heard about it, we wouldn't be in such traumatic circumstances.
I believe Trump has everything to do with this. If you can't tell by now, I am not a big Trump fan. I didn't vote for him, and I never will. I'm not a political person. I don't follow all the thing's that goes on in the country. I don't keep track of democracy at all. When it comes time to vote, I vote for the person I like, whether they are the right person and if they can handle running the country. That is if I vote at all.
Then the people voted Trump out of the white house, and he didn't want to leave after no one wanted him as president anymore. It was sad. made him look like a sore loser. Take the loss and get out of the white house.
It was sad to watch someone try to force their way into a place when no one wants them there. I could do nothing but laugh when I heard Trump was being impeached again by the white house. For the second time. Just take the loss and get out of the white house. It's over for you. Move on already go back to your TV show and your businesses you own. No one cares what you do but get out of the white house.
Now off the subject of the sore loser, and onto the next incredible president we have now. Biden, I have much faith in him. He has already jumped into the seat and started signing bills into law and helping his fellow Americans. As soon as he entered the white house, he jumped right on everything that needed to be done.
He didn't make the united states suffer because he didn't get his way. Biden was willing to help everyone, and he continues to help everyone. As far as my point of view goes, Biden has done more for the Americans his first week in office than Trump did the whole time he was in office.
I feel like every American is in good hands now, and we have nothing to worry about now. Bined is going to pull us all back together. It's just a matter of time. Now, all we have to do is let him work his magic.
I have two kids, and they go to public schools—their temperatures taken before they even get to step a foot in the school. The whole school has adapted to the new COVID-19 protocol. Trumbull county minimized the school's class size, and They are so much smaller now.
My daughter says that gym call is not the same anymore. They can't even play dodge ball because the class is too small. The only thing they do is exercise. The other half of the time, they are not in school; they are online in class.
Some kids learn better when they are in class face to face with a teacher and interacting with the teacher. But some kids do better online. All I know is my kids do better in school. My daughter does well either way. It's my son that need's all the attention.
I am always on him about getting on the computer and doing his work or paying attention in class when he is on the computer. Hos grades go down when school is only remote learning. But as soon as he is back in a class, all his grades go back up. I'm not sure what I can do about that.
I know everyone has had to adjust their lives in one way or another. And this virus is not just going to disappear magically, even though it would be nice if it would work like that.
Please, everyone, stay safe.
Don't give up.

Government and the underdog
The one thing I have been dreading feels like it's creeping up slowly. I can't tell if I'm doing the wrong or trying to help my family out in these challenging times during the pandemic. Suppose it was only easy to make money and not have someone trying to pull you down at the same time. I live in an apartment where I have to inform the office where I live when making any money. So it is called income base housing, and it sucks so bad. I only wish I could get out of places like this and try to make a good life with my kids. But it's never that easy. There is always something that pulls me back down when I start doing good in any way. I want to make money and not worry about losing my place to live, and I shouldn't have to do that. I hate having to worry about that. I am receiving PUA, and the place I live is telling me that it is what they call income. How is it considered income when it's pandemic related? How does it fall under income at all? As soon as the pandemic is over, there won't be a thing called PUA.

“I Applaud Him”: Venezuelan Diaspora Hails Donald Trump After Nicolás Maduro’s Capture
The recent capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has sent shockwaves throughout Latin America, eliciting a wave of reactions from governments, international organizations, and the Venezuelan diaspora. Among the most vocal supporters of the operation has been a large segment of Venezuelans living abroad, many of whom praised former U.S. President Donald Trump for his hardline stance against the Maduro government. For exiled Venezuelans, Trump’s actions represent not just American foreign policy but a symbolic fight for justice and the restoration of democracy in a country long plagued by economic collapse, political repression, and social unrest. Diaspora Celebrates Trump’s Role Venezuelans living in the United States, Colombia, Spain, and other countries expressed relief and optimism after the announcement of Maduro’s capture. Social media posts flooded platforms with phrases like “I applaud him”, “Finally justice”, and “Trump was right”, reflecting gratitude for what many see as the culmination of years of pressure and sanctions that the Trump administration applied to Caracas. Diaspora communities have often felt disconnected from events on the ground, watching their homeland deteriorate from afar. Trump’s aggressive sanctions, diplomatic isolation strategies, and support for opposition leaders created a sense among exiles that the United States was willing to act decisively when other countries hesitated. For many, this is more than political alignment—it is personal vindication. Families who fled violence, hyperinflation, and shortages now see Trump’s approach as a measure of accountability. Trump’s Hardline Strategy in Venezuela Trump’s policy toward Venezuela combined economic pressure with strategic support for opposition movements. By targeting key sectors, including oil exports and financial institutions, his administration sought to weaken Maduro’s grip on power while avoiding direct military engagement. The capture of Maduro, following intelligence and diplomatic efforts that intensified in the last months of Trump’s administration, is being viewed by supporters as a validation of this approach. It underscores the idea that sanctions, strategic isolation, and international coalition-building can have tangible results—even in entrenched regimes. Critics of Trump, however, argue that sanctions caused significant suffering for ordinary Venezuelans, reducing access to essential goods and services. Yet among the diaspora, gratitude often outweighs criticism, as these Venezuelans have personally experienced the consequences of Maduro’s authoritarianism. The Human Perspective: Hope Amid Pain The Venezuelan diaspora has endured nearly two decades of economic collapse, hyperinflation, food shortages, and political repression. Millions fled their homeland, seeking safety and opportunity abroad. For them, Maduro’s capture represents the first real glimpse of potential change in a generation. One Venezuelan living in Miami told reporters, “We have waited for this moment for years. Trump understood that we needed pressure, that the world could not stand by while our country suffered.” Similar sentiments echoed across Colombia and Spain, where exiled communities have long organized protests, advocacy campaigns, and relief efforts for those still in Venezuela. This collective response highlights how political events in Caracas resonate far beyond the country’s borders, affecting communities and economies worldwide. Political Implications for Venezuela and the Region The capture of Maduro creates a critical power vacuum in Venezuela. The diaspora sees this as an opportunity for democratic transition, political reform, and the restoration of institutions. Trump supporters argue that decisive external pressure was necessary to break the cycle of corruption, authoritarianism, and mismanagement that defined Maduro’s tenure. Regional governments are also watching closely. Countries like Colombia, Brazil, and the United States must navigate the challenges of stabilizing Venezuela, addressing humanitarian needs, and ensuring that power transitions do not spark further conflict. The diaspora’s vocal support for Trump signals to both domestic and international actors that Venezuelans abroad are ready to advocate for a new political order, potentially influencing diplomatic and economic decisions in the months ahead. Social Media Amplifies Diaspora Voices Social media platforms have played a central role in amplifying diaspora voices. Hashtags praising Trump, sharing memories of hardship under Maduro, and calling for democratic reform have trended in multiple countries. The immediacy of these platforms allows Venezuelans abroad to connect with communities back home, organize aid, and maintain pressure on international bodies to support a transparent transition. In many ways, social media has become a digital extension of the political struggle, enabling exiles to assert influence despite being physically distant. Balancing Praise with Caution While the diaspora widely hails Trump’s role, many also acknowledge that capturing Maduro is just the beginning. The real challenge lies in rebuilding governance, addressing economic collapse, and reconciling a deeply polarized society. Experts caution that external intervention, even when well-intentioned, cannot replace domestic political solutions. A sustainable democratic transition requires strong institutions, inclusive dialogue, and careful management of international assistance. Yet for now, exiled Venezuelans see Trump’s actions as a critical step forward—a decisive intervention that offers hope where there was little before. Looking Ahead As Venezuela begins the uncertain process of political transition, the diaspora’s engagement will be essential. Exiles bring experience, advocacy networks, and international connections that can support reconstruction and reform. Their support for Trump underscores a broader lesson: international actors and domestic populations are deeply intertwined in shaping outcomes in crisis-affected states. For Donald Trump, the diaspora’s praise reinforces his enduring influence on foreign policy narratives, even after leaving office. For Venezuelans abroad, it is a moment to celebrate a hard-fought victory while remaining vigilant about the challenges ahead. Conclusion The Venezuelan diaspora’s applause for Trump following Nicolás Maduro’s capture reflects decades of frustration, resilience, and hope. While critics debate the costs of U.S. intervention, many exiles see decisive action as essential to breaking the cycle of authoritarianism. As Venezuela navigates the road to recovery, the voices of its diaspora will remain vital—both as witnesses to history and as active participants in shaping a democratic future. Trump’s role, whether controversial or celebrated, has left an indelible mark on that journey, demonstrating the power of international engagement in the struggle for justice and governance.
