Donald J Trump
Donald Trump is now the president of the United States. I wish him well. The media is playing a huge role in how he is viewed as he is a businessman, and television personality turned politician. We will have to be careful to make sure we hear what he says in context and not how the media wants us to hear it. I will admit I have a bit of a guard up, but I am trying to be open minded. He is definitely different than Obama. Lots of people are just waiting or wishing to see Trump fail.
Like him or not he is in charge for the next four years so I wish him success.
His inauguration was fine. A few performers decided not to play due to threats, and the numbers were lower than Obama's although nobody can seem to agree what those numbers were. However, it is hard to compare numbers as Obama was the first black president! The numbers don't really matter except I think there were more people out the day after inauguration.
On January 21 the day after the inauguration, over 5 Million people worldwide and over 1 Million in Washington, D.C., came to march, speak and make their voices heard. They stood for women's rights and a variety of other causes including immigration reform, health care reform; protection of the natural environment, LGBTQ rights; the rights of Muslims, racial justice, and workers' rights. I hope each and everyone of the people that were in Washington and across the United States at the rallies voted.
The next four years will definitely have change, we will just have to wait to see how it all works out.
