Can You Dig It

Our new President is in office and people are losing their minds over the things that he is doing in his first days in office. They include approval for repealing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), removing the US from the TTP trade agreement, approving the continuing of two inter-continental oil pipelines, placing a ban on immigration from seven Muslim countries, approval for pulling back federal aid to any country providing abortions, and the appropriation for funding to build a wall along the Mexican border (which he says Mexico will reimburse us☺). 

Now these people and myself included feel that this policies are mean spirited, based of unproven facts and bigotry. They may be unconstitutional based on the idea that the United States moral compass is based on freedom for all and a spirit of unity and religious freedom. We are a country of laws that cannot be established by one man or party, but by the people. Trump supporters will argue that we need to look out for the white Judaeo Christian society which has established this great nation, and go to war against anyone one or thing that  stands in the way of their superiority. So just like during the Civil War era, America has come to a crossroads. One side against another, trying to pull the country right or left. It was America that decide to divide our world into the Old world, the New world, and the Third world. Now our President, who will be President for at least four years under the law, will take us down a path that will surely shape our future for years to come.

While I have a strong disdain for Trump, one thing I can give him, and I an not surprised by, is that he is doing exactly what he said he would do, if elected. He is being true to himself and his followers. It will now be up to our members of government to work for workable and reasonable solutions to our problems to hold this country together, out of war, and not end up as a third world and third rate  country ourselves.
