Still grieving


I am honestly very disappointed in the election results. This whole election was a joke, but seeing Trump win just blew my mind. Although I didn't like either candidate, I would have liked for Hillary to win because I simply can't stand Trump. I've never been one to actually pay attention to politics, but I was very attentive during this election. I still can not believe that Trump won the election. I can not believe that he will be my next president. I don't understand how he had so many people supporting him and voting for him. I respect everyone's opinion, but I simply so not understand how anyone can want a guy like him as president. I know so many people who voted for Trump. The people that voted for him have probably never been a victim of racism. They aren't fearing for their own lives. They don't feel like they are no longer wanted in this country. He has caused this nation to be even more divided than before. He is the reason why millions of people are now living in fear. A nation should be celebrating and welcoming the new president. I feel like majority of the people are mourning his victory. I have always been proud to be an American. However, at this moment I feel embarrassed. I'm embarrassed to say that Trump is my new president. I am embarrassed that despite all of the horrible things that Trump has said and done, our citizens still voted for him. All I can do is pray for the well-being of this country that was once "the land of the free" and that was once known as the melting pot.

  1. I feel the exact same way. I just feel like I can't believe it and I am still in such shock. I am extremely embarrassed that he is our president and that so many people voted for him despite the horrible things he has done and said. I am just hoping that he will surprise everyone and be a good president.

  2. The majority of the nation is feeling the same.. I never in my wildest dreams thought he would actually win and it is definitely quite a shock. The amount of racism that was brought out by his election was alarming and I also am hoping for the best.
