Editorial Open your mind to a unified America resident Donald Trump’s address Monday evening was alarming and infuriating to many Americans for a num- ber of reasons. Somewhere in between the incoherent babbling and deplorable attempts at defending himself and his actions, the president announced that not only Pdoes he plan on keeping troops in Afghanistan, but he wants to send more. Trump’s stance on the war in Afghanistan can be described as shaky, at best. His opinions have wavered several times throughout his civilian life, his campaign and his presidency. This notorious inconsistency is something citizens have been touching on for months with grave concern. While we agree his lack of focus is a big issue, there is something more trou- bling we noticed after Trump’s speech. Traditionally, most voters will vote for a candidate who they align with politically. With Trump supporters, we’ve no- ticed this isn’t really the case. They voted for the person and all the fanfare that accompanied him — not for his beliefs or for his plans for the country. No matter how many times this man changes his stance on an important issue or makes a mar- ginalized group feel uneasy about living in their own country, people still love him. Despite originally bashing former President Barack Obama for sending troops to Afghanistan and calling America’s pres- Column ence there a waste of money, he decided to strengthen our forces in the Middle Eastern country. During his campaign, his supporters seemed to agree with this stance. Oddly enough, they also seem to agree with his new stance announced Mon- Tell yourself if you can write it, you can be it day. n Aug. 7, my little brother and I had I tried to channel that character.
