Thank you Biden, welcome Trump

By the time you read this, Donald Trump will have been inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, having won his second election in three tries at securing the highest office in the land.
We are under no illusions that President Trump is popular in all circles—far from it. This year’s election was extremely divisive, and sometimes it seems like there isn’t much of anything that could bring this country together. We get that. Having said that, we urge you in joining us in wishing the best for President Trump. At the end of the day, we are all Americans, and any time a president does well it generally means the country does well. We should be rooting for the prosperity of our country, not against it because we don’t like the person who has been elected president.
Trump won both the electoral college and the popular vote, so clearly things he was promising on the campaign trail resonated with the majority of voters. Among those are a planned mass deportation program, which he promised to begin implementation of on day one of his presidency. The number of undocumented migrants living in the U.S. stands at somewhere around 11 million according to a federal estimate. Exactly how he will go about the mass deportations is anyone’s guess. Many Americans are very concerned about a lack of border security to the south, and by the time the Biden Administration admitted there was an issue, it was too late.
Other promises he has made to act on almost immediately include enacting tariffs on Mexico and Canada for products coming to the U.S., drilling for more oil, ending the Ukraine War and even pardoning the Jan. 6 rioters (which he has now done and we vehemently disagree with). We were hoping he wouldn’t do the last one. At the very least the violent ones should remain in jail.
We would also be remiss if we did not thank now-former President Joe Biden for his service as president. Unfortunately for Biden, his late-term gaffes have tarnished his legacy, and he may be remembered more for those than positives he accomplished during his time as commander in chief.
Truth be told, he should have never sought reelection. Too many questions began to arise about Biden’s mental and physical health, and the questions peaked with Biden’s disastrous June presidential debate where he appeared confused and weak. Frankly, it was sad to watch. The hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan that culminated with a suicide bombing at Kabul airport that killed 13 U.S. service members and more than 170 others was another stain on his legacy.
We believe there were positives as well, including Biden’s support for Ukraine and Israel, expanding how many more Americans could afford health care, and improvement in the economy post-Covid, although the battle against inflation was a losing one, as while it has slowed, it has yet to be fully gotten under control
Thank you, President Biden. Welcome, President Trump. We wish the best for both of you.
