There’s a new president in town.
And yes, he deserves our support.
All of our support.
The President of the United States is still the most important position in the world, regardless of what pundits to the left and to the right of the political spectrum want you to believe. They’ll make you believe the world is coming to an end because the other side has control of the Presidency.
The world didn’t come to an end during Joe Biden’s term.
It won’t come to an end during Donald Trump’s term that started on Monday, either.
The President does – and should – have power around the world. And they should – always – have our support.
If you didn’t support President Joe Biden, shame on you. If you don’t support President Donald Trump, shame on you.
Support doesn’t mean you agree with everything they do. And it surely doesn’t mean you agree with everything they say. Heck, you can disagree with everything a President stands for and still support them.
During the Vietnam War, countless young men got drafted and served their country to the best of their ability. They weren’t asked if they agreed with the President’s decision at that time to be in the war. Their country called, and they answered.
That’s support.
During the Iranian hostage crisis in the mid-70s, everyone was pulling for President Jimmy Carter. It didn’t matter their political affiliation.
That’s support.
When terrorists attacked our country on 911, everyone was comforted by the words of our President, George Bush. It didn’t matter their political affiliation.
That’s support.
When we see someone wearing a cap or shirt signifying their participation in our military, we offer our thanks. It doesn’t matter their politics. And you can bet that when their lives were on the line, they didn’t care whether the soldier next to them voted for the same President.
That’s support.
It’s a crazy world we live in, and the President will have some missteps along the way. That’s expected. Some will be his fault, some won’t. That’s expected, too.
We’re all Americans here. Black and White, Republicans and Democrats, natives and immigrants, the rich and the poor and everything in between.
God bless our President.
God bless America.
