Trump finally makes it to the Oval Office and moves into the White House, now what? Oh yeah, Greatness….I almost forgot.
Well fellow Americans, January 20th, 2017 has finally come and gone. Donald Trump is now our new president and just like every new president before him, a thousand promises were made to place him in that position and now we wait to see if he will follow through with his promises or fault on them. Just as we have with every single president we’ve voted in since George Washington. Obama promised change. Bush promised growth, Washington promised better wigs…etc. etc. etc. Only Trump promised to make America great again….
Unfortunately, I don’t believe America wasn’t great to begin with. I know we had a rough go of it for a while, at least the middle-class and lower-class did and still is anyways, but America will and always has been, the greatest country in the world. Trump can’t take credit for that….or can he? I hope not, but maybe he can make what is great even greater? I hope so. In that aspect, I’m willing to give Trump the chance. If he can truly make America greater, then I’m game. Go for it DT! You can dooo it!!!!
But yet, one must ponder on the question, what will he do to make us greater?
Look, whether you like the guy or like myself, dislike the guy at present, I want what’s best for America, and for the people of America, above all else. If that means making what I perceive as the biggest asshat in human history as our president, then so be it if that’s what it takes. Maybe someday down the line I’ll post a complete reversal of opinion on his character and love the guy, but atm….eh…nsm, not so much at all. Why can he not win my admiration? I never liked him before he became even a thought of a future presidential hopeful. I watched his show perhaps a dozen times, unfaithfully, and felt honestly that he was horrible as a business man, and I saw goodness as a crudely unsustainable characteristic in himself…errrrr….his overall demeanor was strangely disturbing to me, in other words.
One thing you must understand, the effects of a President’s actions and orders can take years after their departure to come to fruition. Things Obama did during his terms, will show its effects during Trump’s term. Just like George Bush’s military blunders and money burning during his terms caused problems during Obama’s terms. Or like B.Clinton’s actions shined during GWB Jr’s terms.
My belief is simple, you can cut the head off the snake and replace it with another head (as with every election), but it’s still the same damn snake from the neck down…and it takes years longer than the terms of time allotted for a president, to see the true effects of his presidency take place, and thus, change the snake. Then, we start again with another new head and the process repeats. Trump on the other hand seems at the ready to bypass this and speed along desired changes. Fluidity in functionality on a direct result basis, is not how it works.
Just replacing one man for another, seems to have done very little for us as a whole over the years. How much can a president really do for the good of our country, when doing what’s bad for us seems to be so instantaneous? I mean War could start tomorrow, but changing the misfortunes and making changes for the betterment of the struggling masses yearning to breath free, takes years.
Honestly, there is nothing that Trump can really do to change America and make it “great” again quickly, in the same speed of business, unless he writes his own laws, and changes the rules. Something he has already been making headway with, as nepotism rules apparently don’t apply and ignoring CIA warnings are below him as well. I’m sure he can push through a few fast acting changes, but the effects will not fully proof until later.
See, here’s the thing. Trump has never held office before, he’s never been a political facet or what I would consider a “Worldly Leader”, which to some of us is a good thing. It makes him an “outsider”. Well judging by his gala guest list and the appointments he made for his cabinet, he’s definitely never been an “outsider”. How can an outsider make such insider choices? Tell me, how is it that every head of office he appointed is so well connected? If he truly was or is an outsider? Better yet, how can a man so well un-entrenched in the establishment, ever appoint such establishment entrenched appointees? I hope I made that question clearly understandable!? 😕 Just saying….lol
He’s run a multifaceted business, with only subpar success in some areas and somewhat questionable success in others. Hell, he made more money in his TV show then he ever made with his businesses. My opinion anyways…
The thing is, people constantly try to envelope Donald’s business abilities with running this country as a “same thing” scenario. The problem is, in business you can make changes quickly, almost effortlessly with just a single command. “I want everything that’s red painted orange.” OK done. Now in the office of the white house, you could say the same thing, and it will happen, but it will take running the gauntlet of bureaucracy and red tape to get things done, it’s not a simple flip of the switch and a command, it’s time, effort, and patience. Does DT have that ability?
He has already placed American interests in Europe and NATO at risk instantaneously, and he also started waves with foreign leaderships across all the ponds, instantaneously. He will, without a doubt, maybe, guessing here….but, I think he will start a nonaggression pact as soon as he can with Russia and China, in order to pull the US out of harms way in their endeavors.
He’s not going to make America great again by changing circumstances or addressing problems internally in America, instead it seems, he’s benching this country’s so-called outside obligations and looking the other way to create financial reform derived from centralizing capital. Which in return, he will burn bridges and friendships America has had since the dawn of time in order to build up a surplus of monies meant for holding down communism’s rise overseas. It will take that kind of isolationism in order to make us great again. In that sense, his business guile comes in handy. If your landing in the red ink due to obligations outside of the parent company overseas, you might cut off the foreign branches to get back into the black ink back home….no?
The whole “America First” slogan thingy Trump is taking direction with was first started before America joined WWII by a man who somewhat idolized Hitler…(just history stuff, not bringing up old Adolf for any other reason.*1) Honestly though, that slogan was first used when America was at the precipice of going to war in the big number 2 and then well into big number 2…. (An isolationist’s slogan found painted on a US WW2 tank with a German tank round shot through it, seen in a Ken Burns film about the battle of the bulge, The Ghost Front….ironically Trump’s new slogan?…uuugh)
Trump made his inauguration speech prophetic to the tune that his presidency was a win for all of us, weaker, hardworking, poverty to middle-class Americans. Stating that the establishment had their time, and now it’s our time. (The struggling people of America. *2) ( Ummm….really? Did you see the guest list for his gala?) Yeah, I didn’t see any blue collar, time clock punching people on that list, did you? I mean, most if not all of his guests wore fur coats and arrived by limousines that they owned, not rented. Just like every Bush inauguration. Boy I miss Bill Clinton, he opened the white house and shook hands with anyone willing to wait in line…Trump opened the wet bar and got his ass kissed by the richest of the rich who are very much just like him….Trump is who he is…isn’t he? I respect that, and expected that, but I wonder how much of “our time” was on his mind that night? I also wonder how many of those establishment types that attended his gala thought it was “our time” as they filtered through the front doors?
The bottom line is, I don’t trust Trump. I think he’s a fraudulent mistake, and yet….I’m willing…well…not willing, but fastidiously waiting to see what he can actually bring to the table, and what he has up his sleeves. In other words, I don’t believe in him, I doubt his motives, his honesty and his character. But….what can we do folks? Wait and watch, and pray…? Pretty much. Nothing new there.
I’m just empathetic and suspicious towards his endowment of being President. I feel nervous about placing America’s future in Donald Trump’s hands. It’s hard to feel comfortable with the idea that the same man who tried to copyright the words, “Your Fired!” is now in control of this country. I find him incredibly difficult to trust , unceasingly disrespectful, unpredictable, unevenly tempered and grossly weak and lacking in character of what I would think of as a man, who should be in control of the most powerful country in the world.
Just sayin …
Hoping for the best….
Peace out homes
