IN THOUGHTS
In times where any monkey in a suit can become president of one of the most powerfull countries in the world, I warm my heart to the fact people don't seem to take his bullshit for granted. When TRUMP has the guts - or the lack of brains - to close his borders in an arbitrairy way for what seems to be a random list of countries, not only the supreme court doesn't agree. The American people start to protest the actions of their leader.
Of course, there's much more to this whole story. There's tons of stuff, and a whole history leading up to TRUMPS presidency. In the first place, he's chosen for because there was no real alternative. When Obama was elected, people made it clear they wanted change. And partially, they got that change. But because of how the American governement works, Obama wasn't the only one to decide. Fortunately. Because that's how a democracy works. People are elected, to decide together what's best for the country, as the voice of the people who elected them. And since HILLARY CLINTON was too much of a step back to the old values from before OBAMA, more people then I expected voted for TRUMP. And that's where the protest started. TRUMP was elected, because too many people felt they didn't get the change they expected, and they didn't want to take a step back.
Now I understand that TRUMP wants to make work from day one. I understand, he wants to change as much as possible, in the four years he is president. But he will need the people to do that. Because every change starts with the people, and works because of the people. A governement can say that from now on, a green light means stop, and a red light meens go. But if the people don't accept that change, there will be many accidents. Especially if the governement changes the rules while everybody is allready on the intersection.
So why on earth, Mr TRUMP, did you think you could pull of your crazy idea to not allow any more people coming in from those countries? Why on earth did you think it was ok for a father who lives in the US for seven years already, and was on a trip home to see his family, not to be allowed back in the country, to rejoin his wife and children? I expect you to be willing to return to the whitehouse, after a statevisit to Europe? Or would you like to be told you are not welcome anymore, to do your job, and take care of the people who depend on you, just like you did before you left?
I understand it's important to defend your country. I even understand that maybe force has to be used to ensure safety. However, I'm not convinced that should be done on the scale we do this today. We, as people, all over the world.
Or maybe, Mr TRUMP, you were preparing your borders for the imminent attack on the ground in Syria, you and mr PUTIN are preparing these days. And the stream of refugees behind that. And probably long before you got elected. But of course, that's always been denied by you and your staff. The press is always wrong Mr TRUMP. We don't know what's going on in the world. We are the sheep you want us to be Mr TRUMP. We are the parrots you are trying to make of us. We are what Orwell predicted. Only on a much bigger, deeper and more destructive way. Hail TRUMP Hail TRUMP, HAIL TRUMP, HAIL TRUMP!!!
