Today, we were given an essay topic in English. The assignment involves us picking a politician by drawing lots. I ended up drawing Trump. I now have to write an essay on why Trump's policies are better than the opposing party's while backing up anything he says. FML.

Now you will understand Trump's policies more than the average person allowing you to make an even better argument on why he should not be president.

Look on the bright side.. pretty much everyone is going to have a tough time defending their politicians considering the current race

but trumps policies are better than clintons.

Seems like an easy assignment. Would be better than drawing Hillary Clinton. It is hard to justify murder, deceit, and selling uranium.

Assignments like this are stupid, and to be blunt, dangerous. Yeah, make someone give a speech about politics. In front of 30+ people. When talking about politics in a 1-on-1 situation is already volatile. And grade them based on how "sincere" they seem about it. Because that won't lead to potential assault, battery, or rioting.

Looking on the bright side: If you manage to pull that off, it should be an automatic A.

I had a similar assignment in middle school, except that instead of defending a politician I had to argue that Bigfoot is real. By the end of presentations, I had half the class believing in him. I don't think that even I could argue a logical defense of Trump though.

Now you'll understand his policies better than he does. And hey, it could d been worse. You could have Hillary.

think of it like this; if you can argue that trump has better policies, you can pretty much argue against/for anything. being able to find points to back up anything is a fantastic quality to have for english/debate classes. if you ace this, i doubt you'll get a failing grade on any other paper.

it's time to use your teenage superpower: sarcasm.

My thoughts on this = if you don't support him, you're ******. I don't understand how people can back up 99.9% of trumps points. And the other .01% is just what Hillary Clinton will do. But better
