At this point, we are less than a week away from the Inaugural Ceremony of President-Elect Donald Trump. While there has been much-seeming anticipation for the occasion there are still many questions that many people are asking concerning the possibilities that Trump is promising to deliver upon.

In a recent article, I have gone through what to expect in 2017 regarding the Trump campaign and the seeming possibilities that he endures to bring with his presidency. https://www.theodysseyonline.com/politics-2017

There must be, however, an additional warning that comes with all the anticipation for the future of this nation, how we, as the people, react to the transition of power.

For many the seeming transition of power is best exemplified when their side is consistently gaining ground in an otherwise diverse field of players. For others, the transition of power is more natural and justified and seemingly embraced without a feeling of doubt shrouding its occurrence.

The most interesting part of Donald Trump's inauguration may not even be the fact that many are so decisive about his potential as a candidate, the tone of the inauguration and the amazing ocean of people that swarm the National Mall is what often sets the tone for a President-Elects transition to power.

We must keep our minds open to the possibilities that a Trump Presidency brings. Like all the Presidents elected before him, this is a tradition, a part of our democracy that we hold well and near to who we are as Americans. Now more than ever the American people are being observed by the International community for a sense of solidarity and strength.
