I never thought of myself as a political person, and I certainly never thought that a TV reality show host would become our president. But I am pleased with how things turned out. The economy is good, people are working, wages are favorable, unemployment is low and terrorists are being eliminated. Those are very good things.
I simply do not understand why our country is so divided. Is it because some people thought they would see the first woman president? And when that didn’t happen, those people decided not to accept the elected person? Or is it because the person elected was not a career politician?
I don’t remember so much division after prior elections even though some in the country did not like the person elected. I don’t agree with some things our president says, as I did not agree with all the things prior presidents said or did.
We have choices to make. It seems to me that making America first would be a favorable choice for all of us. Why wouldn’t a person want to live in the greatest country in the world? We live in a country everybody wants to be a part of, where many people want to come to escape famine and poverty. It’s a country where we are all free. It’s a country that is first in so many things.
I believe no matter who is the duly elected president of our country, we should stand united behind that person. And we should all start now.
