Trump train slowing down but still on th tracks

Well Mr. Trump is continuing to blast the USA with following through on his campaign promises and he is following the Session/Bannon manifesto that pushes a ultra right conservative path. By instigating the Muslim ban he has angered most of the world and made it more dangerous for Americans abroad, I worry about my sister and niece and how the world perceives them, I also worry about my son who aspires to visit and tour Europe and possibly South East Asia. The view of the ugly American seems to be coming back and I'm sure that unless the US government can protect each citizen then the world will hold their government accountable. Do we really need to issue warnings against visiting certain countries, do we need to build a wall that covers our entire coast to keep Americans safe. The courts have stopped Trump from his total ban and I'm sure that most of our tax money will be diverted to pay lawyers to pursue the new agenda, not to mention someday starting to build the wall between Mexico and the USA.
   We need our tax dollars to make America great again and our citizens need to figure out how they are going to replace health care that will disappear , make our military strong again, is our military any weaker then it has been for the last eight years, we just need to pursue our enemies with resolve to finish the job. Trump has not yet come up with his definitive plan to wipe out ISIS maybe it will be a secret like when he rolled out his ban/ vetting on the seven countries that were on the Obama terrorist list, but not Saudi Arabia where fourteen terrorists from 9/11 originated, does Trump lease his name to a gilded hotel for his business partners, money should stay out of the equation when we talk about the safe being of American citizens. I still am repulsed at the videos of American citizens being beheaded and the slow sometimes non existent response of our military. I know the response of the hawkish government was just words but I think that we should respond like the proud bald eagle that represents our grand nation. You see that I believe that if we play to Trump's massive ego he actually will try and improve America if only because he sees himself as better than everyone else, it will be a shame that we will have to suffer through his conservative right agenda and a future congress that will back him for a little while until they realize that that will never be re-elected and in two years will actually need to look for work. Then the grid lock will again create a stand still that will as least mean that Mr. trump will be four and done in politics.
   I don't know how many of Trump's cabinet secretaries will be confirmed but I think everyone is beginning to question some of his candidates as both bad for his cabinet and especially bad for the country. Can the Senate hold fast and reject some we can only hope for the future of our government and for someone that can help steer the President away from a useless waste of time. Let his cabinet help mold his decisions and the direction that we need to travel. I think to seek counsel from Bannon, Miller and Conway we will continue to never move beyond campaign mode and into actually governing this country. A move more than anything needs someone to pull us all together and unify our desperate separation. Maybe then the media that created all this can step back and simply refuse to shine the light on his massive ego, why does the media even show up at his press conferences are they really in need of that much abuse. Do we really need to always look at the body in the road or can we drive by feeling empathy for a lost soul, I think the media does deserve some credit but it still has time to help change the world for the better. Can we just be kind to each other.
Happy Groundhogs Day
