Dear Neighbours:
Your have a new boss in White House now. I listened attentively to his seventeen minute speech after he took the Oath of office, and I took notes. I am glad that President Trump openly made promises to improve the quality of life for the regular folk and to let the government be controlled by the people again. "You will never be ignored again," he said. He promised great schools, great jobs and safe neighbourhoods. He would endeavor to make U.S.A. strong, wealthy, proud, safe again, and most of all, GREAT again.
He outlined how he was going to rebuild your country. President Trump encouraged Americans to think big and dream big. He said that you should open your heart and be patriotic. He stated that racial prejudice would not exist if American people are patriotic. However, I cannot see the connection between patriotism and the eradication of racial prejudice. I wish he had explained this statement in greater detail. Maybe the other culturally diverse societies can learn from him the methodology to resolve the complex issue of inter-racial conflicts.
A new vision was brought forth - AMERICA FIRST. Your great leader commanded you to buy only American goods and employ only American labour. Funds will be spent on new infrastructure all across your country. The borders are going to be better defended. More money will be spent to improve American military. President Trump is well known for his ability to raise funds. I pray that he is going to shine in increasing the 365 trillion USD debt your country already has. "The hour of action arrives!"
Further to the claim that "Protection leads to Prosperity", the new boss also called for "the carnage of crime and drugs to stop right here and right now". Many years ago when Rudy Giuliani was the Mayor of New York City, he managed to clean Manhattan up by painting over the graffiti, and keeping the streets clean. Maybe Mr. Giuliani is assigned this task. Moreover, I am not sure how he is going to complete the assignment on a much larger scale.
Lastly and most importantly, President Trump expressed that USA would only make alliances with selective countries from now on. He emphasized that "America will win again." He alone would determine the course of U.S.A. and the world. To be egocentrically nationalistic is one thing but to claim that he would determine the course of the world is absolutely outrageous, especially when he also said that he would "...unite the civilized world to fight against ISIS".
My beloved brothers and sisters, I was very disturbed by President Trump's inaugural address. I have been praying for you all to persevere and hold your government accountable for the forthcoming "actions". God Bless America.
Sincerely,
Your Canadian Neighbour
