One of the largest controversial topics that has been up for debate in the last few months has been the election of Mr. Donald Trump. I mean how could you not talk about a narcissistic psychopath? Well as I’m sure everyone knows; recently, as per vox news, Trump has signed an executive order that bans all immigrants and visa holders from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the US for the next 90 days. The countries on the list includes: Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, and Libya.
I feel that everyone has the right to their own opinion, hence my very straight-forward description of Donald in my first paragraph. As per our textbook, a narcissist is what we call an arrogant person that requires excessive admiration and has
a sense of entitlement. A psychopath is an individual that lacks concern for others and also has a lack of guilt or remorse when their own actions cause harm. I feel that Donald Trump shows no remorse for his actions and expects people to praise him even when he is causing thousands of people pain.
That being said, I wanted to bring up a story about some native people in the Los Angeles area. According to warrior publications, indigenous activists have started a social media campaign that has caught traction on both sides of the border using the slogan “no ban on stolen land.” The native americans joined the protests at American airports this past weekend, standing in solidarity with Muslim people and their allies against Trump’s travel ban. The picture above speaks a thousand words about how the aboriginal people whose ancestors originally inhabited what is now US soil feel about such a cruel act being passed. I would invite students from our class to speak out and make comments in regards to the action that the US has taken. As a United States citizen I can say that it truly saddens me to see my own country turning its back on innocent people.
