Inauguration day has passed and Donald trump is in the White
House. Yes; it was a sad day for the millions that voted against him/for
Hillary. Protests went on around Washington DC, the rest of the country and across
the free world. I do understand that Mr. Putin and Mr. Netanyahu were pleased. Politics
make for strange bedfellows and “the enemy of my enemy is my friend…”
I personally chose to dress in all black for the occasion.
My fashion statement did not go unnoticed. I received a number of comments from
my co-workers, friends and associates on my job. Many were amused and there
were actually smiles and laughter in response to my effort.
Trump’s term as president is potentially dangerous for the
United States and the world. In the midst of it all we must; as Michelle Obama
said during the campaign “…they go low, we go high.” I was and am immeasurably
happy to see the tremendous number of protests (world-wide) especially the
peaceful ones. “Civil Disobedience” is a beautiful and necessary thing. The
potential injustices and wrongs that Trump can inflict are too numerous to
mention in a single blog. We have to express our disapproval of the presidency
of an ignorant man elected possessing no character, hatred, bile, bigotry and unlimited
personal greed.
We will survive Donald J. Trump and there is the potential
for a better world beyond the Trump years. Trump’s election is a “wake up call”
indeed a call to action. Many have already heeded and righteousness will ultimately
prevail.
