Our 45th President

Today, January 20th 2017, marks a day in History. Donald J Trump became our 45th President. I think that after his four years people on both sides will be surprised and angry. His supporters will be angry when they realize that he did not do the things that he promised. A lot of which he can not do, but they did not pay attentions. They did not do their homework and research. They read headlines and believed what he said. I wish it were that simple, but gone are the days of taking someone on their word. I am hopeful that maybe the other side will be a bit surprised as well. I am hoping that he will not be as crazy and scary as it seems now. I feel like as a nation we are holding our breathe. Waiting to see what he will really do. We have all spent so much time speculating. I think his Inauguration speech was like none of his other speeches. It was actually put together well. It is a shame that he doesn't mean much of it. I am sure that his supporters were left with a feeling of hope. I have a feeling that they will be terribly disappointed. I have learned through all of this that not ALL Trump supporters are completely nuts. Some of them are good people who are just a bit misguided. Some of them are hopeful that his banter is just that and that he will bring a good sense of business to Washington. For their sake, and mine, I hope that is true, but I don't think that it is. There are many people, including some that I know, who think that we should blindly show support and respect to him mearly because of his title. Well not me. I refuse. I will not blindly support someone. Respect is earned, and he has done nothing thus far to earn mine. I know that probably does not mean a whole lot to most people, but it does to me. So here it is, here we are.

  1. Well said m'dear. I do think you gave him too much credit on the speech. It was such a dark and brooding speech designed to stoke the fear he keeps selling. Most people are really startled at some of the phrases he used in that speech to describe our country. But then...he is an inhuman demon.

    1. I probably phrased it wrong. I mostly meant that his speech was not his typical random half sentences. It was in complete sentences. It was well rehearsed. There was a lot of strong language in it, and as usual, so much of it was untrue crap designed to instill more fear.
