On April 5,2025 America continues to demonstrate today in an effort to remove "Donald Trump" in office. New York biggest protests against a president since Ronald Reagan's administration. Many people should read up on the history of Ronald Reagan, the Aids pandemic, and Act Up in New York if they are unfamiliar with the history of the LGBTIQQ community and how the pandemic was progressing.
People are upset with Donald Trump in today's protests because he hasn't fulfilled many of his promises. Living expenses have skyrocketed in 2025. Living in this timeline is unaffordable even for the wealthy. If you live in the United States, it is completely legal for you to exercise your right to the First Amendment.
But in 1981-1989 when Ronald Regan was president. The term AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) was coined in 1982 to refer to the disease after it was first recognized medically in 1981 in California and New York.
LGBT and AIDS advocacy groups criticized Regan for his actions—or lack thereof—which have been a source of controversy for a long time.
However, Trump is being criticized in this generation for a variety of reasons. Regarding bathroom and sports regulations, Trump is specifically targeting the LGBTIQQ community. Trump also criticizes immigrants for their illegal presence in the country. Trump's views may be shared by many, but many others disagree.
Why are we battling for a territory that isn't ours collectively? The first humans on this planet were Adan, Eve, and Lillith. To create a world, they had to procreate. Why, then, is everyone freaking out that we own the United States?
Additionally, Trump is being accused of wrongfully dismissing the federal government and of ripping people social security. Is it fair that people think like that? If I live to the age at which I must retire, I am certain that I would like to receive my social security.
So why is Trump starting trade wars with other countries? He recently signed an executive order requiring pinguins on a pinguin-only island to pay 10% in tariffs. which sounds a little odd to me.
Because it made some people laugh,
people began creating memes about the pinguins. Some of the memes where pinguins destroying tesla cars.
Other where in an ocean that they were ready to attack president trump.
All of the demonstrators across the United States referred the protest to it as "hands off." They brought a powerful message to the table.
It was a waste of time for them to be doing that, according to a lot of people that I spoke with here in the RGV. I don't agree with them. The federal government is aware of the noise that is coming from every state.
Ronald Reagan was unsure of how to respond when the LGBTIQQ community protested in the streets in the 1980s in New York.
However, I can guarantee that the LGBTQ community was taken into consideration.
In an interview, pop icon Madonna once stated.
If you are shocking, scandalous, problematic, prerogative, troublesome, or dangerous. You are definitely on to something. That's where you make noise. A person's fearlessness does not go unnoticed. "Madonna" and she was definitely correct.
Everyone is therefore being bold and making noise. But now, people of all genders are uniting to oppose the Trump system and let's not forget the pinguins.
There is still a long way to go before Donald Trump is impeached or imprisoned.
With everything that is going on in the United States, let's just see what the federal government does.
