President Trump...

What a wild, crazy, bizarre, unprecedented, divisive and ultimately revealing election this has been.

I think we are all still in shock. But I kind of got it right. I've been on numerous talk shows and on the Friday  before the election I was on WJR,  the biggest radio station in Detroit. The host asked If I thought Trump still had a chance to win. I said that I thought that there were a lot of people that didn't want to tell the pollsters that they were going to vote for Trump. I was on that show again the day after the election and the host said I was probably right.

The Media

The media made Trump and then tried to destroy him. They covered him a lot in the beginning of the campaign because, let's face it, The Donald is good for ratings. Then when the media realized that Trump might actually win, they went to extraordinary lengths to try and vilify and destroy him. They didn't even try and hide their bias. A biased media has little value in a democracy.

Divisive and Revealing...

A lot of friendships and familial bonds have been strained by this campaign. I was playing chess one day with a long-time friend and we started discussing the candidates and their policies. My friend and I were on different sides of the aisle. There were some very intelligent high school kids in the restaurant we were at that heard our discussion and took my side and voiced their opinions. At one point I thought my friend was going to stroke out. I know what you're thinking, who won the chess game? I did. My friend is a skilled chess player, but I've won my share. A few days later my friend and another buddy were going to play tennis together. The friend that I had disagreed with said that he wouldn't come if we discussed politics so we agreed not to talk about the campaign in front of him. It's interesting to note that my other buddy agrees  with me on politics but doesn't discuss it in front of our other friend.

There are strong feelings and sentiments on both sides. A number of people have asked me, " how can people that call themselves Christians vote for Hillary?" One of my tennis buddy's said he didn't think Hillary should be prosecuted. I said " really with all of her lies and obvious crimes?" He said "Nope, we should hang the b...h." Actually, I've heard that from a few people.

I do find it interesting that Mr. Obama while appearing to pass on the mantle of the presidency to Mr. Trump, hasn't said word one about these violent protests about Trump. If he really wanted a peaceful transition...Hillary said she wants a successful Trump presidency. I haven't heard her say anything about the protests either.

Trump isn't a Republican..

On a radio interview I said Trump wasn't a Democrat or a Republican, he's a Nationalist. He wants what is best for the country. So do I. For me it's even more basic. It's about common sense.
For example, politics aside, does it really makes sense, at a time when several factions around the globe want to kill us...does it really make sense to open our borders wide open and let everyone, including terrorists into our country? Beyond that, does it really make sense to support all these people with our tax dollars? I think one of Trumps ideas was to ask new immigrants if they believed in America and Democracy. Since we're paying for these people that might be a fair question.

The Ultimate Reality Show..

In effect this is Donald Trump sitting across from Mr. Obama and saying ""You're Fired."
America has spoken. All politicians make promises and most don't keep them. But remember, Donald Trump isn't a politician. I think the fact that Trump is a Nationalist and only wants what is good for this country is a good thing and hopefully will bode well for this country, I do have a question for President Trump. If Hillary was a crook a day before the election, isn't she still a crook? I know Mr. Trump has to get up to speed in his new office, but it will be interesting to see how he makes good on his promises.

Make America Great Again. And God Bless America!
