Each week the editorial board reflects on a current issue in Our View. The position taken does not reflect the opinions of everyone on the Hilltop Views staff. This week’s editorial board is composed of Viewpoints Editors Sully Lockett, Kenneth Phipps, and Lauren Sanchez.

It’s officially been 100 days since our current president was sworn into office and not a single catastrophic meteor has struck earth. Congratulations for surviving what could have very well been the end times.

Despite this small victory, we still haven’t gone more than two days without incident since Trump’s election, and that isn’t reason to celebrate anything. For the past 100 days we have been constantly hit with executive order after executive order, lie after lie, and the hits just keep on coming.

We could be facing war with the rising tensions in North Korea and the bombs we dropped on Syria in early April. Not to mention the inflammatory statements issued by Trump left and right — lest we all forget, there was a time earlier this year that our incredibly sturdy and longstanding allyship with Australia was thought to be in jeopardy thanks to an unfortunate phone call to their prime minister.

Unfortunately, as the semester comes to a close, so too must our weekly anti-Trump column. What is certain not to end, however, is the vaudevillian sideshow purporting to be an American presidency.

Just this week, Trump claimed that Andrew Jackson could have prevented the Civil War, saying, “People don’t realize, you know, the Civil War, if you think about it, why?”

What?

Trump will certainly continue to make a mockery of this nation, our sarcastic comments notwithstanding.

The New York Times recently published an article requesting its readers to send in nice things they had to say about President Trump. The article gave his direct use of Twitter as a potential positive, claiming that Americans have never before had such pure access into the id of their top official.

Despite the faulty nature of this claim (if Trump wants to tweet about Rosie O’Donnell at five in the morning, I’d rather never know about it, ever), it’s kind of sad that they had to put out this request at all.

Despite what you believe about former President George W. Bush, there are definitely good things one can say about him — his handling of the September 11th tragedy, for example, was gracious and presidential. Likewise with former President Obama — despite his failings, he was an admirable and considerate diplomat who led America through a tumultuous time in international politics.

Our former presidents are men who, for the most part, conducted and carried themselves with dignity, and in Obama’s case, style. Our current president has neither dignity nor style.

In a recent interview with Reuters, Trump remarked that “I thought it would be easier,” referring to the job of being the president of the most powerful country in the history of the world.

Well, living under President Trump certainly hasn’t been that easy. Even if he has not been entirely malicious, he has been what we always knew him to be: a fool.
