Give Trump a chance to succeed or fail
For some reason we have an election for the president of the United States. And every single time there are groups of people who seem to not be able to handle the results of a free and organized vote, be it for any of the governmental positions at stake. So then they protest or actually riot and destroy things, and even a shooting or two is involved.
Why?
This method of determining our president has gone on for several decades. I didn't like Barack Obama, but I had to put up with eight years of his mess. Now we have Donald Trump, who appears to have some solutions for immigration, undocumented visitors from the Middle East, and at least an idea of how to bring jobs and growth back to America. Give him a chance and let’s see how it works. In four years, you can say he failed and then make a change, or he’ll be a success and you can vote him back in for four more.
This vote was done the American way, and the winner was determined, as it has been done for eons. For those who say that “This is not our president,” then I say this is not the country for you, and you have a free will to leave at your earliest opportunity.
Those out for free rides, the trip is over and the man to fix it is here. Either go to work and do things as your parents did or go somewhere where they like people like you, and have a great day. This is America, and the plan is to make it great again.
Don't lose your opportunity. Now accept the results and go home. Please. It is over.
