In just a few hours, millions of
Americans turning on their televisions will be greeted with the words that just
a few months ago almost no one believed was possible: “I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear…”
As a side note, just imagine going back
in time fifteen years. Imagine telling people that in just a few years, America
would have a black president, handing over the reins of power to Donald Trump.
I guarantee that absolutely no one would believe it.
This quadrennial ritual is one of the
many things that truly makes America great. It symbolizes a peaceful transfer
of power that has been occurring for over two hundred years, unique in all of
human history. Some protesters will try to disrupt the event, but my prediction
is that ultimately, they will be hardly noticed, or remembered.
Today is an important day in the life of
our country. Trump, Congress and everyone attending the ceremony should enjoy
it, because this afternoon the real work begins.
