Today is Friday, January 20th. The weatherman said the rain will continue for the next three days. Great, this means my jeans will get soaked since I have not find a right pair of boots yet. I love the rain but only if I have the chance to stay home, sit back and enjoy the sound of the rain drops from the outside.
It is dark and grey in the backyard. The rain is pouring on the swimming pool and the droplets can be seen pouncing on the surface of the water. The wind knocked over the a brown mattress that my landlord put in the backyard and the wind could be heard blowing through the wet air. The weather has always inspired me to write and once again I find myself to yearn to put words down on paper.
Today is the Inauguration Day for the new president Donald Trump. I have always been neutral about his victory in the Presidential election last November and I still am. To be complete honest I was never a fan of Mr. Trump or his opponent Hilary Clinton; partly, I did not like their past and their comments and actions on certain issues. For instance, Clinton voted for the US troops to invade Iraq back in the early 2000s and look at the Middle East now? It is in a disarray; terrorist groups, rebel groups and government military are in constant battles for power and there seems to be no end to the conflicts, even though European and American leaders have triggered peace talks and ceasefires. Mr. Trump, on the other hand, has no political experience and his comment on banning Muslims to enter the United States would only cause more problems as it offended Middle East and European leaders. In another word, I did not believe Clinton and Trump were qualified for the highest office position in this great country.
But what can we do ? Nothing much since the people have spoken and chosen the next chief. I am living in a democratic country so I will have to go along with whoever won the election. For now, all we have to do is pray for the new President and hope that he will lead America to the right path.
