| John F. Kennedy, 1961 |
After the shock wore off, I was offended. The thought of Donald Trump sitting in the same office as Lincoln, FDR and JFK gave me a visceral shudder.
I have to believe that those giants of inclusion and eloquence still inhabit the Oval Office. I hope they can deftly influence my new President to behave like the great man the office demands.
I pray the better angels of our nature alight and land on Donald Trump.
I originally posted this 8 years ago. I meant it then and I mean it now. I doubt President Trump would believe me, but I do pray for him ... and our country.
The pit of my stomach is full of bile. A few students stayed after class to commiserate with me. They are afraid of the future--as young women going into male-dominated professions. They are afraid.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Joe Biden should ever have considered a second term, so in many ways, I think we have Joe Biden to thank for the return of Donald Trump. That being said, life will go on - we must make it so. I am also praying for our country and that Donald Trump will be a good and righteous president. There is nothing else we can do.
ReplyDeleteMay your words ring true. I don't have much hope, but that's all we have left, isn't it?
