Unable to be Trump-ed

Payton Killeen

Morgen Smith is a sophomore who has never hid her opinion on the election. Since day one, she’s resented Donald Trump and been more on Hillary’s side.

“Donald Trump has done some embarrassing things. He’s very easy to make fun of. He has made some questionable choices. [Hillary] seemed alright, she seemed chill. She made less rude accusations. She doesn’t look like a clown, and has a reasonable skin tone,” Smith said.

Before, during, and even now, people at school are divided on their political opinions. The dynamic of school life slowly changed throughout the election.

“I do know for a fact that we were holding an assembly, and [during] the moment of silence somebody yelled ‘vote for Donald Trump!’ Some people were rude about it, some didn’t care, and others were respectful. It definitely divided people,” Smith said.

However, the concern for Morgen was even bigger out of school.

“I am definitely afraid of what he’s going to do because he’s already aggravated things with other countries, and I’m worried about how far that’s gonna go,” Smith said.

Another concern she has is the effects Trump’s presidency will have on LGBT communities in school and in the real world. As a supporter of the LGBT group and minorities in general, she does not want these rights messed with.

“I think that if Donald Trump were gay, maybe he would be able to sympathize and see what he’s doing to minorities. I was [really] mad [when the election results came out]. I was very upset,” Smith said.

The election and the outcome have had very mixed effects on people, which can be seen at school.

“I don’t appreciate him. I’m not saying you have to agree with me, but at least actually think about what he’s going to do. I wish that Hillary would’ve won, that’s the truth,” Smith said.
