At first Donald Trump was just a joke. “Oh, he’s just making an ass of himself, there’s no way he’ll become the next president,” “He’s too brash, how could anyone actually like him?” etc. But no, we’re now weeks away from the 2016 Presidential Election and there is a real fear spreading throughout the country that Donald Trump might actually become America’s next leader. He’s self absorbed, blatantly misogynistic, is not “honest,” instead he is rude, antagonistic, and ooze white supremacy. He is the epitome of what it means to be white and rich in this country. And yet… here we are.
