Yep. Trump is now the president of the United States. Who knew that he would lose the popular vote but win the actual election? To be honest, I was pretty upset when he won, just like Mexico and many women in America and even England. Running a country is different than running a casino. Add in all the discriminatory and demeaning comments and insults Trump has made about Mexicans, women, non-Americans, and the disabled, and I feel like we’re looking at disastrous relationships with other countries in the future.

However, I will admit that there may be a few benefits. Having experience with managing money, Trump may be able to bring more money into the United States and help the economy. Also, he may be able to bring down the Mexican drug cartel activity that makes its way into America.

Then again, his actions during his campaign will most likely cancel out these benefits. He plans on making sure that other countries lose the jobs that came from America (making Apple products, for example) and that they make less money while America gets more. Even worse, he was actually serious about forcing Mexico to pay to build a wall using Mexican workers. His actions from his meeting with the Mexican president certainly won’t help at all during diplomatic matters with Mexico.

But what I feel was one of Trump’s most dangerous moves was to defund International Planned Parenthood. I agree with the pro-life people that it’s wrong to end a life before it can even start, but it’s just as wrong to force people to be parents as a result of an unforeseen incident, even if it’s their fault. But what if a thirteen-year-old girl was raped and got pregnant? As a result of the defunding of International Planned Parenthood, she would most likely have to have the child. But that’s just my opinion, and I don’t know very much about laws, so please don’t be offended by that.

Trump’s inauguration also caused a ripple in other states. In North Dakota, lawmakers are pushing for a bill that will legalize running over protesters. But only if running the protesters over is an accident, that is. This was done in response to the protests that occurred. Why were there protests? Trump made an executive order to advance the stalled DAPL project, which would stretch from North Dakota to Illinois, and is mostly completed except for an area near the Standing Rock Sioux tribe’s reservation.

Really? Making it legal to accidentally run protesters over? I can already imagine the amount of “accidents” in North Dakota that’ll happen if the bill passes. Plus, the Sioux were already furious when the pipeline reached their reservation. Trump’s order to continue the pipeline would only make things worse and spark more protests.

From what I see, Trump just being inaugurated caused a lot of trouble. If all this is what happened in the first week, I really don’t want to know what’ll happen during the rest of Trump’s first 100 days as president of the United States.
