Eulogy For President

Improved Essays
Donald
I watched in jealousy as Hillary stepped up to receive her presidency. I hated that she was the one to win the election, and my disdain for her only grew as she shot an arrogant smile in my direction while giving her thank-you speech. It wasn’t yet Inauguration Day, and there was always a chance that something could happen to her before then, but I still gave up all hope of anything actually changing. If I wanted this presidency, I would have to take it from her cold, dead hands, and I wasn’t willing to endangering my chances in future elections just to beat her this once. So, in order to prevent my future from becoming any more obscure than it already was, I silently watched as the crowd lauded Hillary for her hardwork and dedication during

Donald is the one who came out of nowhere, announcing his campaign for presidency, before even choosing with which party he would be campaigning for. From that moment on I haven’t personally spoken to Trump, and I refused to meet him anywhere outside of events for the presidential campaign. If he was someone who wanted to betray the trust of a friend, and to take away, possibly, their last chance to become the president, then I was going to let him be that person on his own. The thing that I wasn’t expecting, after experiencing Donald’s extreme popularity during the beginning of the elections, was for me to win by a ‘landslide’, as they put it. Now, because he was spurned by all of America, Donald was expecting me to treat him the way that I used to, with warmth and kindness. Little did he know that, by betraying both Bill and I in such a way, he was permanently losing our friendship, and even causing Bill to abhor him. Bill believed that I should also hate Donald, maybe even more than he currently did, but I wasn’t really the type of person to feel that way. Sure, I was angry with him for not

    President William J. Clinton delivered a speech on November 19th, 1993 called “Remarks to the Convocation of the Church of God and Christ”. In this speech, Clinton addresses the people of the church. The occasion of this speech was to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s anniversary.

    I remember when Donald Trump first announced his political run for office. He built his campaign on the slogan: We’re going to Make America Great Again, “reinforced” by his bold claim of “building a wall”. When Trump got down into the weeds with Megyn Kelly during the first Fox News Republican debate, I sensed Donald Trump was a proud and arrogant man. I went on my own campaign against him; making phone calls, writing emails, calling news agencies and talk shows, posting madly to Facebook — whatever I could do to try to stop a really bad person from wrecking the Republican Party and damaging the nation. NeverTrump was my obsession, but it was, at that time, merely political for me.…

    “The Flower for the Graves” and Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Eulogy for the Martyred Children” portray the same message; racism has gone too far. During the times of racial havoc, four girls were brutally murdered by “some brutal fool who didn’t know any better” (Patterson). The man who killed these innocent girls was influenced by the public ideas that black people were inferior to the rest of society and thought he did a righteous act. Yet, “the bombing proved to be a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement” (Jackson). This caused people in Birmingham to see the savagery of racism which caused them to create a revolution of peace and equality.…

    During President Obama’s Farewell Address he talked about a lot of issues. He first started off by calling himself a lame duck because no one was following directions when it came to the cheering and sitting down. With this statement, I believe, that it shows how comedic he is with the citizens and makes the people that we are like acquaintances. He also talks about the accomplishments we have done over his terms such as marriage equality and how Americans are the ones that made this happen. For that reason, we are a better and stronger place.…

    “There have been a few times this past week when all I wanted to do was just to curl up with a good book or our dogs and never leave the house again.” In her first speech since losing the 2016 Presidential Election, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton perfectly summarized the feelings of millions of Democrats, who, after volunteering countless hours for Hillary Clinton and other Democrats, were left in complete despair when they saw the results of the 2016 Election: Republicans controlled both Houses of Congress, nearly two thirds of State Legislatures and Governors, and a man who they felt to be hateful, abusive, and grossly unqualified was elected President of the United States. Following these electoral failures and the feelings of despair…
