So Donald Trump condoned videos of him saying sexually explicit things about women as "locker room talk" during the Second Presidential Debate
1. She justifies the tapes of Donald Trump saying the "locker room talk" by entailing that since he's a billionaire business man, that is to be expected of him.... First of all, I can not even fathom how such a generalization can excuse someone from saying such vulgar language to literally half the population. Second of all, Bill Gates, another fellow billionaire business man has literally preached all around the world the importance of gender equality and treating women everywhere with respect and dignity. In fact he has even invested MILLIONS of dollars through campaigns that work for the empowerment of girls in still developing countries. However, Bill Gates is certainly not the only "billionaire business man" to not be heard saying words of such profane nature. Mark Zuckerburg, the creator of the platform that Tomi is displaying her terrible arguments, has been recorded to have pledged millions of dollars as well to foundations striving to shut down gender inequality. Warren Buffet, Paul Allen, Carlos Slimm, Jeff Bezos, I could quite literally name at least 20 more "billionaire business man" who definitely do not believe that the amount of monetary assets they attain allow them to insult women everywhere.
2. She goes on to assume that those in opposition to Trump feel genuine remorse for women like her, and has the amazingly well backed up argument of "shut the hell up!!" Wow, didn't know the comeback I would use in 4th grade could be used by a 24 reporter on National television that has been said to be "reputable" or even "ground breaking". What bothers me most about this is that in most countries around the world, there is no freedom of the press, we are clearly very fortunate to be able to safely and openly share our views and opinions. But to use this sort of plainly RUDE language?? You mean to say that you got a degree just to tell everyone to "shut the hell up"??
3. She says how she is utterly sick of the "fake persona" that other candidates have put on, because they are certainly not perfect, pure people, but act like they are. Yes, we are all aware that Hillary, Obama, and other political leaders have flaws!! I don't know, something about being them being HUMAN gives that away...??? Here's a hint, maybe they are acting as she claims it to be, "fake" because they are literally international figures and must act with dignity and hold diplomatic mannerisms. It doesn't matter if Obama is in fact a genuinely cold hearted person on the inside, what does matter is that he understand that as a figure of the world, he must act a certain way.
4. Any argument that presidents do not have to act a certain way, are thus invalid as she literally says that Trump is "not presidential". !!!!!! I can not even process this particular statement in my mind. Why on earth would you elect someone for a job if they could not even be described by the adjectival version of the title?? Even in a word sense he is not qualified for the job, admitted by the most notorious Trump supporter on National Television.
5. She vaguely mentions the problems we still face in this nation as support of her argument that past Democratics did nothing to fix them in between 2002-2006. "We still have border problems, tax problems, spending problems, etc." Ms. Lahren, you obviously know nothing of the true role of a president. See, we have a thing in the United States known as the system of checks and balances, or the three branches of government, something that is taught in around the SEVENTH grade. The three branches of government guarantees that no one branch gets all the power, as it all must be balances out with the other two branches. As for the president, they are NOT the entire executive branch! The president is merely the head of the executive branch which consists of the VP, cabinet, and heads of independent agencies. Yes, he has veto power, but not to the extent where all it can be consistently used. Why this middle school civics lesson? To extenuate the point that the President alone can not be held responsible for our INEVITABLE "problems".
6. As far as being responsible for our problems, lets do a quick google search: "What does the legislative branch do?" According to house.gov "Among other powers, the legislative branch makes all laws, declares war, regulates interstate and foreign commerce and controls taxing and spending policies." And who had power in the houses during this time? Republicans!!
7. The year is 2016, why is something that happened 10 plus years ago relevant now??? Yes, I understand that we do have issues like any other country, but at least back up your argument with current a current development. According to Google, Ms. Lahren turned 24 in August, meaning she was not even in high school during the years she mentioned.
I started writing this post over a month ago, and left it as a draft. A month later to come back to it to see that Trump is indeed our president. Honestly I am done. I can't do this anymore. It has grown difficult to empathize with those who support Trump, as I can not fathom how on earth you could look past so many things. But not a worry for us, cause he's gonna make America great again... right?
