10 Worst Things that President Trump Did
Everyone has their own list, but here's my take on the worst damage that President Trump did during his term in office.
Politics
United We Stand
I respect the office of the President of the United States, and the ideal of a government by the people, of the people, and for the people.
Part of what makes this country great is the ability to criticize the government and its representatives.
I am not a fan of the current President, Donald Trump:
What We Say When We Say the Pledge of Allegiance
I hadn’t been in the habit of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance since elementary school, and unless you are a politician, a teacher, or a scout leader, you probably haven’t either.
But a few years ago, I joined the ABQ Speaks Up Toastmasters club and was surprised to find the club says the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of every meeting.
Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance on a regular basis again had me wondering about this peculiar political ritual.
The Best Podcast of 2017
Forty percent of Americans over the age of 12 have listened to a podcast at least once, according to podcast research from this year. Last year I joined this group by buying a tiny mp3 player.
I thought it would encourage me to work out more often. Actually, I didn't end up going to the gym more often, but it did change my life for the better, and I want to explain how, as well as talk about how it seems to be a good fit with what we do in Toastmasters.
The Hermione-Draco Election
Does anyone else see the current U.S. Presidential election as the matchup between Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy?
In this corner, Hermione/Hillary Clinton: female, smart, studious, dedicated, good-intentioned. Tends to come off as wonkish, or snobbish to those that dislike her.
And on the Republican/Slytherin side, Draco/Donald Trump, the rich, spoiled, entitled scion, with bad hair, bad character, obnoxious and selfish.
How has this not been a meme?
