OPINION: Not Racist, Not Sexist, Just Trump

Donald Trump’s winning the 2016 election was certainly interesting and undoubtedly shocking. Accepting him has not been easy for his detractors, but for his supporters it gives many of them a cause for unmitigated celebration. Trump’s victory seems to be the first time a so-called “outsider” has been able to pull off a win for the Presidency.

One of the main arguments by his detractors for the inherent unacceptability of his presidency for me is somewhat straining, that is, that Donald Trump is a raging sexist. That is simply not the case and is absurd at the highest level, and the main architect for all of this rhetoric is the mainstream media, the upper echelon of academia, and of course the wonderful, loving, and ever so graceful "social justice warriors" which infect our nation’s ivory towers.

Wrestling magnate and former Senate candidate Linda McMahon has been chosen as another cabinet member in Mr. Trump’s administration, and she is not the only one chosen either: Nikki Haley, Elaine Chao (who is also an Asian immigrant), Betsy Devos, among possible others. Apparently, after these incredible cabinet decisions, Mr. Trump is still sexist, mean, and evil incarnate. If you look closely however, at everything Trump has done, it is to always be inclusive of everybody of all types.

Now the point I am trying express is that the "old white man’s" GOP does not exist, and if it somehow ever did it has since died. I would also say that we as Americans should stop attacking our new incoming president as if he were some sort of woman-hater as the media and left are making him out to be, instead of focusing on the diversity and the intelligence he is bringing to a new and forthcoming four years, of which I am delighted to be a part. We as a country should move far from the high school bullying of the new president and focus on the new modern era that is bringing jobs to everyone, women and men of all backgrounds, ethnicities, and races. Disagree with Trump all you want, yell at him in front of your TV if you desire so, but don't let it be because he’s a sexist or the party that nominated him is, rather let it be from the political ideology for which he stands. That is what a republic is supposed to include, arguments based upon ideas and not upon silly nonsense gossip and malice from members of the media and sheltered college students.

Can we all just agree to get back the real issues, shall we!
