is mostly known as a reality TV star, and business mogul, yet many agree with his take on foreign/domestic policies. In order to help the economy, he has proposed to renegotiate foreign trade, making them more favorable for our country, and a 45% tariff on goods from China. His stance on immigration can be easily defined by the word “wall”; Trump proposes that a wall along the US-Mexico border paid for by Mexico, and banishment of Muslims from certain countries will render us of our terroristic…

To some degree a precedent had been set in American politics. This was the fact the president’s secretary of state became president next.

The mounting tensions between the northern and southern states have forced our neighbor, South Carolina, to emancipate from the Union. Now we, the Georgian state, are left in a precarious situation. We are forced to decide; do we remain loyal to the Union, which disregards our constitutional rights, or join our compatriots in the confederacy and…
