Donald Trump's inauguration as the 45th President took place January 20, 2017 and begins a new era for this generation. The President's beginning shows no resemblance to President Obama's beginning eight years ago as Obama's approval rating on inauguration day was 80% compared to President Trump's 35-40% according to the latest two polls this week. The President will also start his administration with many of his appointments not yet sworn into office.
President Trump also enters office with a conflict of interest because he has yet to completely divorce himself from his business interest like past Presidents have done so they can commit their time only to the country and its people's business. In fact, the President still wrongly claims he can handle both jobs. So the President's beginning is not a good one or a united one. And because of his past extreme comments and behavior he also enters office as a tainted President.
So now President Trump has some serious decisions to make and the status quo is unacceptable. The blame game now stops at his desk and his childish tweets have to stop. He also has to release his tax returns so the people can see for themselves the financial dealings of Mr. Trump who from the beginning never planned to release them. His latest remark on the subject matter was the self serving statement, "the voters don't care about my tax returns."
President Trump will now have an official record of progress or regression, depending on which one he chooses. His campaign promises are still out there and when his first tern is completed an official tally will be available and the people will be able to judge his administration. In this writers judgement there are many dark clouds hanging over the President, made possible by his own hand, especially concerning Russia and Putin.
Will the future under President Trump turn out to be a rainbow. That is the first thought that comes to this writers mind.
