Four months and three days ago, or exactly 100 days ago, Donald J. Trump was elected as the President of the United States. Since he’s been elected, Trump has gotten a tremendous amount of hate for various reasons. A few being his history of not respecting women, when he mocked a disabled reporter, and his immaturity on social media (twitter). The wide-spread hate towards the new president has caused a large amount of people to state the term “He’s not my president”. Some are serious, some are in a joking manner.. But what does the statement really mean? Can you live in the United States and the President of the United States not be your president?
On one side of the argument, people argue that because he was sworn into office as the 45th president of the United States, he’s everyone’s president, including yours.. Which makes sense to me. On the other side of the argument, people say that though he was sworn to be the president of the country, they do not accept him as their personal president, therefore he is not. But where’s the real reasoning behind some saying that Trump is not their president?
I looked for articles that support the term ‘He’s not my president’, and the mass reason so many citizens of the United States are using it, and are unsupportive of Trump is this: They want to feel a bond with their president, and Trump is ‘more worried about authority and keep his power”. “It’s important to realize that not every president is going to be ‘your’ president.” Another article noted. So it comes down to this: Whether you claim Trump as your president or not, that choice is yours. Just keep in mind that whether he’s YOUR president or not, he is without a doubt the current 45th President of the United States.
Destiny Trevino, Junior said “People that say Donald Trump isn’t their president are wrong. Unless you don’t live in the US then obviously Trump is your president.”
Drew Reed, Senior said “If you’re going to protest something with a slogan you should really check over it several times to make sure that it makes sense.
