Disrespect and immature behavior has become the new face of this country

Watching the results come in late at night on Election Day, my nightmare became a reality: Donald Trump won the 2016 presidency.

After watching Trump deliver racist comments about Mexican people, I would have never expected that he would win the 2016 presidential election. I was completely shocked to discover that people supported and endorsed Trump’s hateful comments.

“They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crimes. They’re rapists. Some, I assume, are good people,” Trump said when he kicked off his campaign in the summer of 2015.

The way that Trump publicly speaks of other cultures is absolutely disrespectful and unprofessional. America has grown out of many cultures and religions. America’s background of being a proud country of diversity is slowly beginning to die.

His idea on a building a wall along the Mexican border and having Mexico pay for it, is unbelievable. His ideas on deporting all illegal immigrants are frightening. Many illegal immigrants come to America to start anew, since our country is seen as a land of acceptance and opportunity.

Trump maintains that same disrespectful attitude when talking about women. From body-shaming to claims of sexual harassment, it’s quite clear that Trump has low respect toward women. Only focusing on a woman’s look completely blocks the truth of what she can accomplish.

“I mean we could say politically correct that look doesn’t matter but the look obviously matters,” Trump said to a female reporter in a clip featured on “Last Week Tonight.”  “Like you wouldn’t have your job if you weren’t beautiful.”

Aside of all his negative comments and behavior, his business skills seem to be what most of his supporters positively look towards.  I would be willing to give his presidency a chance and positive outlook, if it weren’t for Trump’s disgusting personality.

The way Trump slithered his way to power by praising himself higher than others truly sickens me. What’s worse is that some people can’t see that. I hope one day, that the people who voted for Trump see the consequence of the grave mistake they have made.
