2017 Inauguration: My POV
StockFresh

On January 20th, 2017, America inaugurated its new POTUS, Donald J. Trump, and people across the country are throwing temper tantrums. It amazes me how fast the left-side went from people of peace and acceptance to refusing to accept the new President. What they don’t seem to understand is that that’s how democracy works. You win some, you lose some (and you don’t get a trophy when you lose). For the last eight years, America has been under the leadership of a democrat, and now we want a republican. Just because liberals didn’t get what they wanted, does not give them the right to throw a fit and scream “not my president”. Like it or not honey, yes, he is your President.

The main group of people against Trump’s election are women. There are protests scheduled across the country during and following the Inauguration (*cough* Women’s March). They claim that he is a woman, immigrant and race hater. But do they know that his daughter, Ivanka, is one of the most successful business women in America, running her own industry? And that his wife, Melania, is an IMMIGRANT? The First Lady of the United States is an immigrant; I think that is a win for minorities. I guess my main point is that people need to give Trump a chance before they start threatening to move to another country. We all need to help the President be the best, because remember, if the President fails, then America fails too.

If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
