Maybe the real issue is that people don't take voting seriously enough.

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on this one.

~Mr. Rossit]]> 2017-02-08 15:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152487378 https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152493205 Donald Trump is definitely someone that I do not support, or am a huge fan of. Besides his lack of experience in the political world, his character and comments about individuals really turn me away from him. Although, what Americans need to realize is that they voted for him and he won, so they need to stop complaining about him as much as they do.

Although he just enforced the travel ban I'm sure people are leaning towards him being negative impact.

We have not had time to give him a chance. When you think about it, Clinton follows the same "guide lines" as Obama, and what did he do? Obama did not chance much about the way America is. On Trumps first day in office he had already changed things, tremendously. I do not believe that some of the things he are doing, such as the immigration problem and also the ban of Muslim people, but he is at least changing something. Hillary would not have done anything at this point in time, I feel as if we need to give Trump a good chance. Who knows, trump could quite possibly be the better candidate.]]> 2017-02-08 15:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152494723 https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152496792 Although many people do not agree with Trump's presidency, we need to view it from a realistic perspective. Yes, Trump was elected President of the United States; however, this isn't something we can change. Now that he is in control, all we can do is hope that he does well for the country. I cannot say that I personally support him, but I do believe that it is important for individuals to see what he has in store for America.  ]]> 2017-02-08 15:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152496792 https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152546043 He may be arrogant and narcissistic, and may lack the qualities that Obama had, but, when you look at his plans you can see that he is definitely making improvements. He speaks the truth and is not afraid to say what he thinks, which is important for change to happen. Trump also has big plans for tax cuts, which will save Americans so much money. So, overall Trump might lack presidential qualities, but his work might be the most beneficial for the United States.]]> 2017-02-08 17:35:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152546043 https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152553512 I honestly do not know how I feel about Donald Trump. He does not express his words and actions in a respectful way and he is very discriminatory. Although somethings he does are for the good of the Country, he needs to approach things from a different point of view and realize the way he speaks to people and acts is inappropriate.  I am very curious too see how Trump does as President.

He has a different way of thinking and as a former business man he can use what he knows to help the economy and country. ]]> 2017-02-08 17:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152554970 https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152600941 In my Opinion, I think That Donald trump is not going to follow up on some of the things he promised to do, possibly creating more problems for America and Americans citizens instead of solving the pre-existing ones. Over all I think the Trump Is a good business man however, I don’t believe he is fit to be president.]]> 2017-02-08 19:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152600941 https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152611792 I didn't really follow the election that closely and only really heard snippets from my parents or friends. However, from what I've heard, I don't think that he has the "peoples" best interest at heart]]> 2017-02-08 20:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152611792 https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152627968 I am completely against Donald Trump's presidency. First off, I can see what he's trying to do with the travel ban. He's trying to stop Muslim people from entering America because people have generalized them as terrorists. However, main point here is that the people who are trying to go to America from one of the seven countries are in dire need of a home that is not hindered with war. Nearly all, if not all of these people are not bad. 

The outrageous things that he says about groups of people are also completely sickening. 

In the end, I suppose you can't really blame the man. He is doing what he promised to do through his campaign. I think the blame here falls on the shoulders of those who voted for him, or perhaps even those who did not vote, for if only they did, then perhaps America would have celebrated the first ever female president sworn into office on January 20th.

Some of the things that he has said are completely racist and discriminatory, and he has been very disrespectful to so many people. Although, he clearly had enough supporters who voted for him to become President, and he won the election fairly. He is doing exactly what he said he would and people should have expected that, so they should not be so surprised by his actions.]]> 2017-02-08 23:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152646128 https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152660193 Donald Trump does not possess the traits to be an exceptional president. My prediction is that he won't do most of the things he promised to do. He hasn't been president for very long, and he has already destroyed what America is about; freedom. For example, he is changing/taking away some of women's rights and has imposed a travel ban for seven Muslim countries, creating chaos at airports in the United States. A good president thinks things through before making decisions and does what is best for the country as a whole. Donald Trump has already shown that he puts his own interests first which is not something a president would do if he/she wants to make America great.]]> 2017-02-09 01:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152660193 https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152666271 I was very surprised when Donald Trump won the election. I strongly disagree with most of the things he has said in the past because of the disrespect and racism he has showed. However, there are enough people in America that support him and agree with his new plans to elect him as the new president of the United States. Although some Americans may not be happy with their new president, they will have to accept that he will be here as president, for the next 4 years.]]> 2017-02-09 03:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152666271 https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152899982 As a free young women Donald Trump scares me. His beliefs and acts as president are frightening, he degrades women and their bodies, disrespects religions and their rights and he also removes the rights away from a regular immigrant. Donald Trump is supposed to be a leader, a man filled with hope and respect. He has demonstrated that he does have hope but no respect and no empathy for regular people. He is destroying America and their society. Donald frightens people in order to feel superior. His actions in the long run will catch up with America and we are all watching to see when that day comes.]]> 2017-02-09 19:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152899982 https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/152915334 Donald is different and there is really nothing else to say. He is man who says what is in his mind and does not really care what other people think of him. This is a trait that not many people have and that is what makes him different and is most likely what made him win. However, this is not a good trait when your views are bad. Donald Trump has backwards views on woman, religion and race and frankly his mind has not evolved to be in the 21st century. That being said, although Donald is different then previous presidents, he is not fit to be leading a nation to the future.

I did not follow the election. However, from videos I have seen on social media, I think that he is a very self-centered boy not man. I think that he needs to have more respect for woman and for immigrants. Like Mr. Rossit had said, Donald Trump won the election fair and square. So my thoughts are that citizens need to do their research before voting and to ensure they place a vote if they want to be a part of the decision. It's frustrating to see people who did not vote complain about the outcome when they had the power to sway it in a different direction.

Trump stands for things in which I personally do not agree with because I was raised to treat everyone equally until given a reason not to. However I do not have enough knowledge about him to stand for him nor against him, the videos on the internet and the news makes it rather easy to stand against him. Each person elected each year always makes someone not happy about it, he had to get voted in somehow so I'm sure that he has some good points of view. It is going to be a long 4 years with nothing we can do about it. ]]> 2017-02-13 14:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/153435625 https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/153575818 Donald Trump is a different president, for sure. I think the next few years in America will be interesting to see what he does. I wouldn't
 be worried if I was American, because I don't think he can change too much without getting the Senate on board. I think he will bring different points of view to the table, unlike other politicians in the past. ]]> 2017-02-13 21:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/153575818 https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/153895080 This years election was certainly interesting. Both candidates had done and said things leading up to the election that I don't agree with. But out of Clinton and Trump, Trump was the worst. At first I thought he was just trying to get attention and  that once he was in power  he would calm down and surprise everyone. But I was very very wrong. He is a immature man who lies over and over again. As of right now I am scared for the US and unsure where they will be within the next couple years. Maybe he will change and become a good president but so far it isn't looking good.

Donald Trump is a world class billionaire but that does not make him ready for the placement of presidency. This case may be true but we still have no right to make memes (internet jokes) or death threats or jokes. As Canadians we are worried for our education system but there is nothing we can do about this matter so making these dark jokes are not right to do. I believe that since Trump did buy the election technically speaking, that the Government of the United States should investigate to make sure this never happens again. ]]> 2017-02-22 14:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jeff_cummings/ztk7jp5np25p/wish/155456443
