Donald Trump

Trump is the new president. The journey has been long, scary, controversial and insanely poplustic.

As someone who followed this election a lot even though I'm not even American myself, I can definitely say that It has been hard to watch. Whether the result was what you wished or not, it was a painful process altogether and honestly we should take a moment of just realizing how great it is that it's finally over.


The inauguration speech was okay. I think It was generic and populstic but most of them are. However what I found most annoying was how many people compared his speech to other speeches from movies and kids shows. It's a really sad lie... There were things that you could target easily about his speech. Why would you stoop so low and claim something that's a complete lie?


"And spent trillions and trillions of dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay. We've made other countries rich, while the wealth, strength and confidence of our country has dissipated over the horizon." - Donald Trump


This is such a silly thing to say... America is beyond wealthy. There's a ton of very clear social and socioeconomic flaws however as a general rule the country is insanely rich. Especially putting it relative to most other countries, even European countries. When you say something that is not just factually wrong, it's actually offensive when you analyse It. He is part of the richest country in the world and he claims that they are not rich enough and that other countries are. 

Even refuting such claims makes you feel stupid when you have any knowledge of history, politics and economy in the world. Especially when considering foreign affairs... US has always been fighting for their own interests which I've always defended because I understand that it makes sense to protect yourself and to make sure your country is doing better than others, HOWEVER claiming that you are helpings others... it's cringe, it's annoying and it's evil.


However. The speech was not terrible, we've seen worse that's for sure. 

And remember, next time when you want your president to stop his speech because you get triggered by a white man being the president.
