Top 10 Worst Things that Happened in 2016

Don't blame Donald Trump for winning. Blame Hillary Clinton.

It's obvious that Donald Trump should have never even gotten close to being a potential candidate for the presidency. But to be honest, Hillary was the worst choice. We all know she's a pretty horrible person who is willing to do anything for power and the spotlight. So let's be honest with ourselves: would we want a semi-honest semi-idiot in power, or a lying politician who is manipulating the system to her own advantage?

It was obvious through her leaked emails, media activity, and through her campaign that she was doing everything in her power to win. She rigged the primaries so that the Republicans would choose the worst possible candidate, had every major television channel and social media site talk down on Donald Trump, covered up her illness, and focused her entire campaign on talking down Trump.

With all this in mind, it's obvious why America voted for Trump and not Hillary. People are tired of being lied to. Of politicians constantly lying and fixing the system. They knew they were going to get exactly that by voting for Hillary, so they voted for the opposite, knowing that there would be a lesser chance of them being played.

If you people only stopped believing everything the media tells you, you wouldn't actually think that the elections turned out as bad as they did. Saying that Donald Trump has access to the nuclear codes and will start World War III isn't a valid argument. You are assuming that the Alec Baldwin impression of Trump is 100% accurate. Many more men considered worse than Trump were in power and didn't do anything remotely close to what you guys think Trump will do.

Guys, the deaths of celebrities are sad, but they have no reason to be higher than actual terrorist attacks.

A terrorist drove a truck into people, killing 84 in France, on Bastille Day.

A terror attack never seen before. Shocking!

What a tragedy. So many innocent people were killed for the selfish reasons of a shooter. It was so depressing. Rest in Peace to the amazing people who had their lives taken too early.

In about a second, somebody in the US will start shooting up a public place. It's probably happening now.

I'm from Florida, but I'm from Miami, so I'm safe. It was terrible. I'm glad the survivors are okay. I hope this doesn't happen ever again.

I was there when that happened. But the hotel we stayed in was far away from the bombings. While we walked down the streets, some teens decided to prank the people in the streets that there was a terrorist there. Luckily, they were arrested. I'm also glad we were far away from the bombing.

I feel so bad for the victims, and words cannot describe how much my heart goes out to those families. I hope that terrorism ends and the leader of ISIS dies (that leader, whoever it is, deserves it).

What a present for me. It was on my birthday. Screw you, 2016!

I went to Disney World in 2008 and went on the same ride with the alligators. I knew those alligators were very hostile. I'm shocked that Disney World isn't being sued for this.

Wow, I love gators, but they are just cold-blooded. Why are they so mean? Of course, they put gators in an amusement park! Are they drunk? Someone's gonna die!

There were a lot of bad things that happened in 2016, but my cousin dying was the worst. No lie, the little boy was my cousin.

Fifty gay people were shot dead by some homophobic idiot. At least they consider this a terrorist attack and not only a massacre.

Very sad, especially since this is where I was born.

The worst mass shooting in recent US history.

Wow.

Now, can I just say, 2016 was dreadful.

But this, this was the worst.

David Bowie was an incredible singer with a huge amount of talent, and then he is killed because the world always kills great people.

We can't even enjoy good music anymore, as we have Justin Bieber. And while we do have Twenty One Pilots, no one, I repeat, NO ONE, can replace David Bowie.

Goodbye, Moonman.

(Space Oddity starts playing on the radio)

God, I'm starting to tear up, this is just sad!

He was a great musician. It's a major example of good people dying and bad people living on. His music was amazing and unforgettable. Now we can't listen to good music anymore because good singers are being replaced by bad people like Justin Bieber when they die.

Alan Rickman was an amazing actor, and life without Severus Snape is not life.

Alan Rickman was Snape in the Harry Potter movies!

She had a hard life, struggling with drugs, alcohol, and her manic depression (a.k.a. bipolar disorder). But she had a wonderful life and had so much fun.

In the end, I think she was happy, and now her mother is with her also. Pray for Carrie and Debbie's family. Especially Billie. She is going through a very hard time right now. She lost her mother and her grandmother within two days. Cry for Carrie Fisher, but be happy for her also because now she is in a better place.

PLEASE put this higher! She was an iconic character, Leia from Star Wars, who was such a great actress and best supporting in Star Wars.

She died of a horrible heart attack so suddenly at 60, and we've learned that even with the Force, there's no way it can do everything that's needed.

I thought Han Solo's death was tragic, but this might go a notch above his and certainly David Bowie's.

2016 is the WORST YEAR for celebrities of ALL TIME!

It sucks a lot because my family lost our rental cottage there.

I know that we've recently been seeing a lot of cases involving crooked cops abusing their power, but we need to remember that not all police officers are bad. The noble, fair police officers keep our communities safe. Our cities would be much worse off without a police department to protect law-abiding citizens from murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and other dangerous criminals.

Those Dallas police officers didn't deserve to be shot. They had nothing to do with the recent shootings of African-American males. They were just doing their jobs. People, please stop acting like all police officers are evil! It's as foolish as believing that all Muslims are terrorists! It's the bad cops that deserve to be hated, not all cops in general.

Her death was something that could've been avoided, and it just shows how messed up America's system is.

We lost an important singer, all because some guy shot her.

She was so young, and this could've been avoided by stricter gun laws.

Category 4 hurricane that hit the Caribbean and Haiti, causing major flooding. It killed up to 900 people, 877 in Haiti, and 19 in the US so far.

So sad. It was really powerful. I feel so bad for those people.

A devastating storm hit the east coast of the U.S., causing flooding. RIP to everyone who died.

So many people lost their homes in that fire. I live a couple of hours south of it, and it was so big I could see the smoke.

I live in Edmonton, a big city near Fort Mac. Tons of evacuees came to the city, and a fifth grader in my school was an evacuee.

This was a sad fire in 2016. I remember when people came to Grande Prairie, Alberta, because of the fire, and the Grande Prairie Public School District accepted students that were evacuated.

Give us back Prince, David Bowie, and Michael Jackson. We'll give you the Kardashians, Justin Bieber, and Donald Trump.

He was a great musician. His music was classic.

Why Prince and not the bad singers?

We lost 36 people because of a bombing.

Something needs to be done. We need to be more careful when working with sick people.

One day it is declared that the disease has finished, the next there is a new case.

Attacking a hospital is a war crime!

Important and innocent lives were taken.

Seventy-five people were killed, 29 of them being children. They were all just having fun at a park for Easter, then someone thought it was okay to do a suicide bombing there. How evil. Yet this wasn't all over the news.
