Here we are, nearing the end of January with a new president and vice president. This should be a period of excitement, of interest in what our newest leader of the country will have to offer our country. However, this period has became a period of violent rioting and nationwide arguments over whether or not President Trump is "your president."

Reality is, President Trump and Vice President Pence were sworn in at inauguration on January 20th, as the presidents before were. He is now America's president. If you are a member of this nation, your president is President Trump.

This does not mean you have to agree with everything that President Trump says or does. You will never completely agree with everything a leader does. However, it does mean you cannot root for President Trump to fail. As many people have said, wishing for President Trump to fail is wishing for our nation to fail, and that is heartbreaking to think some Americans are wishing for us to fail.

Our nation is divided mostly by two major factors: race and gender; however, when it comes in the scheme of things, these are minor issues. Preserving our nation's safety and security, and running a country efficiently- those are the main issues. We have allowed the media to chisel the crack of diversity between the American people, and morph it from a single crack to the Grand Canyon.

So, where do we go from here?

The biggest issue the American people themselves need to mend is our divide as a nation. There are many petty details that may separate us as individuals, however we all bear one similarity: we are Americans. The title Americans binds us all; it bears no added racial identity. We are not separate racial bodies, such as African-Americans or Indian-Americans; we are not even separate political bodies, such as Liberal Americans or Conservative Americans. We are all Americans longing for our nation to be governed in the best possible way.

So, while anti-Trump protesters are wishing for Trump to fail and America to go downhill, they forget one large detail: they will have to abide in the nation which they are hoping for failure. No one longs to live in a failing nation, of that I am sure.

We all must unite as a nation with the realization that we will not always agree, but we all are all aiming at a common goal: a successful country. Therefore we must be open to our new president's ideas; you can't judge him after a few days of leadership. We also must join in prayer for our leaders, that they may be lead by God before they lead us.

God Bless America.
