Donald Trump is President

Donald J Trump is now the President of the United States. I for one am very happy about that. I am glad that Mr. Obama is gone. The Democratic Party has done everything it can to delegitimize Trump's victory. The Democrats have stirred up trouble all over the country. Protesters in Washington D.C. on Inauguration Day destroyed property. Yesterday, more protesters marching in most major cities. I HAVE A QUESTION: HOW DO WE PROTEST THE PROTESTERS? WHY DO WE LET THEM DISRUPT OUR CITIES? 

I did not like the protesters in the 1960s and I like them even less now. Even the "peaceful protesters" are disruptive and obnoxious. I PROTEST THEM!!! I watched the news and one man stated that there has not been this much need to protest since the 1960s. There was not need then, so far as I am concerned. The people of this country are lawless. The level of lawlessness increases daily. I think that it is tragic.

Senator Bernie Sanders stated that Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million votes. So I fact checked him. Trump lost the popular vote by only 2.2 million votes. I took my inquiry one step further. Trump lost in New York by 1.5 million, New Jersey by 3.8 million, and California by 3.4 million yet the popular votes in the 30 states he won closed the margin to 2.2 million. I AM THANKFUL THAT WE HAVE THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM because if we went with a direct election by popular vote New York and California would elect our President and the rest of the country would have no voice. In Oregon, that is the way things are. Portland has most of the population, so the rest of the cities and towns have little to no voice in who gets elected. By the way, Hillary won in Oregon but she lost in 30 states. So, if we went by the popular vote, the people of 30 states would have been out voted by New York and California. 

The press is controlled by the Liberal Progressives in this country. The Yellow Press is alive and well. Actually, it is more like the black press. It has constantly defamed Donald Trump, yet he won the election in spite of the terrible press coverage. He won. He is the President. I think that the major difference between Trump's victory and Obama's victory in 2008 is that Obama offered handouts; Trump is not. Obama, and the Democratic controlled Congress crammed the Affordable Health Care Act down the throats of the people--70% were against what is called, Obama Care. The main thing that it did is prevent insurance companies from denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions. Well, the lawyers skirted that part of the law by using the phrase, "Chronic Conditions". So that nullified that part of the law. The premiums are increasing all over the country from 25% to as much as 116%. The Insurance Companies are abandoning Obama Care. The Affordable Health Care Act did nothing to reduce health care costs. All it did is transfer the payer to the government--and the middle class is paying higher premiums as a result. So, it is a disaster. 

I will state the Russia is a grave threat to the United States, Europe, and the Free World. It always has been. So, Clinton and Obama both down-sized the US military. How was that supposed to deter  Russian aggression? Answer, it did not deter it. We better rebuild our military and strengthen NATO because if we do not, Russia will continue it aggression in Europe. 

Trump stated that he wants to reunite this country, but I believe strongly that the Democratic Party and the liberal progressives will fight that. I think that they will do all they can to stop Trump from doing what he states he wants to do. The people of this country need to unite but refuse to try. I pray every day that God will heal our country, but the sad reality is the their are too many people who seek their own way. There is not concern for the COMMON GOOD of the NATION. I think that is tragic
