Wake up, sleepyheads. It really happened. It’s hard to believe that citizens genuinely believe President Trump is as good as he claims to be. With all his executive orders affecting the country in hazardous ways and dropping funds of important foundations, he is a nightmare come true. To quote Trump, his presidency is a “huge” mistake.

Speaking of big mistakes, the newest member of the administration who could do the most harm to millennials’ upspring would be the inexperienced billionaire Betsy Devos who Trump helped appoint as the Secretary of Education. According to the Washington Post, she thinks that non-traditional public school is better than a traditional one, simply because it is not operated by government. She will propel America’s public education system toward destruction and replace it with charter schools.

Increasing charter schools means that more money is gathered from the taxpayers and put into the school instead of using federal funds. It would damage the middle- to lower-class families, not to mention teachers, financially. The cherry on the top is that if she succeeds in mission benefiting charter schools, it could eventually lead to money being cut from public schools in Michigan, schools like the ones in our district as well. Doesn’t that sound swell?

Regardless of how and where millennials are educated, they will still enter the workforce. Picture this: Young millennials graduate from high school, the stereotypical move for one would be to immediately try to find a job, right? However, with today’s so-called “great, really great economy,” it is not very beneficial for them. According to the Pew Research Center, among American adults of all ages, 82 percent say it is harder for today’s youth to find a job than it was for their parents’ generation. Not only is getting a job harder for some, but so is that elusive mortgage. From the same source, 69 percent say it is harder for today’s young adults to buy a home as well. The list of statistics of struggles young people face is seems endless. The goals a young person tries to reach for will be disintegrated.

As for how Trump’s travel ban will affect young millennials, there is a sense of fear in the air instilled by our own country’s leader. According to USA Today College, “The ban affects thousands of students who currently hold visas to study in the U.S., preventing them from traveling freely from their home countries to the United States.” So much for learning opportunities and experiencing different cultures, I guess.

Only four more years until this nightmare is over. #Sad.
