Scrolling through and looking at all of the articles that people have written this week -- they're all about Donald Trump becoming president and what to do now. For the overwhelming majority of these articles, they are all negative toward either him or his supporters. On January 20th, Donald Trump became our 45th President of the United States. Plenty of people are not happy with this at all, and I can respect that. You have a right to your opinion and you voted according to that opinion. I also understand that you feel he wrongly won the presidency, but that still does not change the fact that he is our president now.

I am not saying I support him and I am not saying that I don't support him. Just think of this as someone looking from the outside in because I am not taking a side on this. All I have seen since election day is a lot of hate and a lot of protesting. We all have a right to protest as well, but I personally feel some of the protests have gone too far. I do not remember protests like these breaking out when Barack Obama became president. I know there were plenty of people who did not want him to win either, but he won and people accepted that. Sure, Donald Trump has said and done some things that aren't the best for a president, but that does not mean he won't do his best to help this country. After all, isn't the goal of the president to do what he feels is best for the country? Like I said, we are all entitled to our own opinions and that includes the president. Did Obama do make some decisions that didn't work out like he thought they would? Yes, he did. No one is perfect and no president is perfect. We need to let Trump do what he believes is best and try and help us out. I do believe he will do the best he can.

For those that are afraid of what might happen, that's okay. All I ask of you is to be hopeful and put some trust into the government and how it works. No, we do not need to cry and no he cannot take our basic rights away. There seem to be ideas going around that he will take away our basic rights and basically make this country into a fascist nation. I can promise you all, that won't happen. The election may not have gone the way some people thought it would and the electoral college may have voted against the popular vote, but that happens. If you don't agree with how things turned out, then I'm sorry, but it can't be reversed now. There's no sense in going to worst case scenario and losing all faith in our government and our country. Remember, Trump may be president, but there are other branches of government in place to protect against bad things happening. We will be fine and Donald Trump will do the best he can, I truly believe that.
