Inauguration Day 2017

No matter your political affiliation; No matter your personal beliefs on many issues; Today is a great day in American history.
Today, January 20th, 2017, is Inauguration Day. The day our new 45th President, Donald Trump, took the Oath of Office of President of the United States.

His speech was focused on normal, everyday Americans who work hard to provide a living for millions of households across the country. He desires to bring back stability to American jobs, a greater military presence, greater domestic product output and a greater focus on healing the country from many disparate ills.
Some television commenters called his speech "isolationist." I can see their point. However, isn't that what this country needs? We need to focus on actually improving our educational system, honoring our veterans healthcare needs, providing jobs for Americans to fill (rather than foreign nationals), return factories of US goods to US shores, expand the middle class once again and focus on truly making the country great once more by actually focusing on US.
I realize that many people are afraid of Trump as President. However, they have zero proof for that fear; only assumptions, suppositions and unfounded alarm.
While the Inauguration Day protesters have every right to protest, they too are protesting nothing. They are going on fear alone. Fear of what, exactly? Fear of tamping down on Illegal immigration? Fear of putting the domestic self interests of the United States ahead of that of foreign nations? Fear of a President who actually works FOR the people?
Until President Trump has actually screwed up, their protests are in vain.

As the new era of the United States begins, we should all give President Trump the benefit of doubt as he begins leading this country forward. We have a new opportunity to grow stronger as a whole; to rise above the internal conflict of the Obama years and become one people once more. To that end...

May God Bless the United States and guide us all towards a peaceful, prosperous future.
And, may God Bless our new President, Donald J Trump, that he may lead us with temperance and foresight, and help restore this great country to respected prominence in the world; a shining beacon to other nations. And may he lead with the Lord as his counselor through fervent prayer and humble heart.

This is my hope for our new President.
