With 250 years of history behind us, Trump’s 45 predecessors left him a clear path for how to succeed in the presidency. If every president for more than two centuries avoided a particular activity, there was probably a good reason.

With narcissistic tendencies, Trump often seems to believe he is the smartest person in any room — even one that includes historical giants like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Rather than considering why certain presidential norms exist, he tends to dismiss his predecessors as “stupid” or “weak.” Trusting only his own political instincts, he barrels ahead like a bull in a china shop.

Breaking with precedent, Trump became the first president to attend an NBA Finals game. The problems began as soon as the announcement was made. The massive security required for a presidential visit forced the cancellation of a free watch party outside Madison Square Garden. Those with tickets to the game, which cost between $3,800 and $161,000 each, were told they should arrive at least two hours early to clear security.

In one of the few times Trump has built unity in our divided nation, he managed to alienate the working class and the 1%. When his picture was shown at the remaining watch parties and at the Garden, he was roundly booed by both crowds. While almost anyone could have predicted this would happen in deep blue New York City, Trump probably never considered that this would be the reaction to his appearance at the game. Perhaps San Antonio would have been a better place for his visit.

Even worse, the most memorable image from his appearance is of him nodding off during the game. For a man who made much of calling Biden “Sleepy Joe,” this was further evidence that Trump’s attacks on opponents often amount to projection.

This was just the latest in a series of political misfires. Are these frequent lapses of judgment a result of the possible onset of cognitive decline, or has his political luck simply run out? I explore this further in the following article:

A president who never learned to govern kept winning anyway. It has already cost the country; what price will his party pay next?

saying all white people are racist, is a little bit racist... like a lot of racists are white, but that isn't the same as all white people being racist

Sorry if it's not my blog 'type' but I'm going to keep posting and reblogging feminist and political things because I have really strong beliefs in that stuff and I'm just a 'kid' so this is the only way I can express my beliefs sorry

Why I Resent Being Told To 'Check My Privilege'.

You may or may not be familiar with the concept, but basically, anyone who feels marginalised in any way should feel free to use this phrase. It's saying to someone "You don't know how good you've got it, reassess your life before you relate to me". It's often seen thrown around on twitter - and guess what - it's abhorrent.

There are a thousand things a person should feel 'privileged' about. I should feel privileged because I'm white, my parents aren't divorced, I'm straight, I'm cis, I'm at university, I have access to the internet, I am not starving, I live in a democratic country, I have the right to vote... (feel free to add your own). Whilst I agree that a lot of these 'privileges' mean that I am free to live my life freely I don't think that they should mean I have to apologise for being who I am. Essentially, this is what "Check Your Privilege" is all about. People who have it 'easy' should be thankful that they live so happily and they should not dare to pass an opinion on things that affect the underprivileged. This is completely ridiculous. People who believe I am privileged had the right to comment on the way that I live my life, but I can't say anything about the way they live mine?

That sounds a bit like... a privilege.
