Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United

States.

Wait, wait, before I lose you, I know, I know.

I'm sick of politics too.

Just hear me out on this one because this is not the story that you think it is

I will build a great great wall on our southern border and I will have Mexico pay for that wall.

Mark my word.

Trump speeches are all over the place.

But this is actually the first time that I sat down and watched him deliver one.

I don't usually talk about politics. They

trigger anxiety and make me roll my eyes, especially when I'm watching the debates

of either party. Democrats versus Democrats, Republicans

Republicans.

They remind me of those Jerry Springer days

when I would secretly watch two couples yelling at each other

because my mom said I couldn't.

Now, Jerry Springer puts a bad taste in my mouth and so do politics but when there's someone telling millions of people for America to be great again we need to ban all Muslims from entering the country and build a wall between us and Mexico.

It makes me stop. Sit up straight, furrow my eyebrows, and listen.

When I'm an adult with children in a backyard, I hope I can look back on this time and laugh.

But right now, as a first generation Asian American young woman, I'm not laughing.

I'm concerned. But not too long ago I heard about this guy who's

like me. He's young, half Asian, and is basically an outsider running for political office for the first time
