No you're totally fine. I get it completely. My high school is in a very ghettoish neighborhood so I somewhat understand as well. Not meaning to sound against you or anything, just kind of putting it from my perspective.

I voted for him twice and his second term was great to me.

Trump on the other hand, is geting stuff done but its the most extreme things he listed. One thing he did promise to fight against he has completely turned away from. He not only filled the swamp he created an even bigger one by appointing ceos of major banking companies to help run the country. That was one of his biggest points and now he works firmly for the people that he said Hillary did. He also had the opportunity to help the american people by brining down the costs of pharmaceutical. He didnt even negotiate prices to be lowered. The US pays more for drugs than almost any other place on the planet.

Obama had majority in both houses his first two years of presidency, just like Trump does now, I'm not saying he didn't have a difficult time, but it was the same complaint by the right back in '08 that Obama would be able to do anything he wanted as it is now by the left

This is what he did in his first two years

the economic stimulus, bringing the financial system back from the brink of collapse, rescuing two automakers, universal health care, sweeping reform of financial regulation, and major changes in student loan programs, among many others.

President Obama came into office after the housing market crash and the country entered a mini great depression. So I guess my confusion is why people are saying President Obama didnt do much in his first two years. It would be much more accurate to say that Obama spent almost his entire first term brining the country out of the crisis it was in.

I couldn't be less satisfied with the state of America's political system these days. Trump is an utterly racist, sexist, vile narcissist who seeks only to divide and profit. Trump's nominations are frankly terrifying - the recent confirmations of Betsy DeVos and Jeff Sessions is a sad blow to America's children and people of color. And Mike Pence as Vice President only makes things 1,000x more scary. I feel as if things can only get worse. I fear for women, people of color, Muslims, the LGBT+ community, the poor, and countless other minorities, as well as science, education, and the judicial system...This administration is extremely unqualified. I mean, not only does Trump have no political experience, but neither do many of his nominations. Oh, and not to mention that the administration calls any news portraying the administration in a negative light "fake news." OHH, and how Kellyanne Conway, Counselor to the President, literally fabricated a massacre on live television.

As an educator Betsy DeVos's confirmation feels like the biggest blow to education in the last 100 years.

You know, I started writing a really long angry rant about how my burning hatred for Trump, but then by the time I actually finished it, I had calmed down, looked over it, and realized that I probably shouldn't actually post it.

I'm just going to say this. I was originally on the side of the people who said to give him a chance. I gave him a chance. As far as I'm concerned he blew it in a week. I originally genuinely didn't know who would be worse, Hillary or Trump. I'm realizing now that Trump is by far worse.

I don't live in America, but I have neeeeeveerrrrrrrr liked Trump. He's an absolute buffoon. xD In saying that, so are aaaaallllllll our PMs. Our current one is no better than the previous one. It's still illegal for me to marry my girlfriend. Yet it's not illegal for me to marry some 90 year old man I've met once. #seemslegit

But yeah he doesn't stand up for me as an LGBTQI+ person or as a woman. If I had darker skin and was a Muslim, bam, I'd be the embodiment of his nightmare. xD

I mean I'm pretty sure even if you weren't a muslim but still had darker skin he'd make you a muslim so. Also, just a side note, what does the I stand for? I've never seen it used before.
