Political interest

Yesterday Drew decided to write about her feelings concerning the elections in the USA.

Last night I was asleep when my dad said that Donald Trump was the President of the USA. I was not happy. I was voting for Hillary Clinton. On the TV other people were happy that Donald Trump was their President of the USA.  I was not happy.
