Inauguration Day

 It was an historic day in Washington  when the 45^th president of the United States of America Donald J. Trump was sworn in, taking the oath of office and making his role official in leading America for the next four years.

The monumental moment unfolds with thousands of people merely filling the streets of the capital to witness the oath of office. The crowd was at least one third of what Obama’s inauguration was in 2008 when about  half a  million people  packed the streets  shoulder to shoulder  even though it  was a much colder day.  The reflection of the amount in attendance is a clear indication of what President Trump will face in the journey ahead.

This is the highest office in The United States and the 58th Inauguration of a president since 1789. Trump is the oldest to enter such an  office and  he might be thinking, what have I gotten  my self into?

As they gather at approximately 11:31am  Eastern Time Mr. Trump was officially introduced as the President of The United States, applause and cheers filled the air as he stepped forward and acknowledged his title with a cheerful wave and bright smile to everyone.

There was a sense of humility among the people yet an emotional day for the out going President Barack H. Obama as the peaceful transfer of power was observed.

The first lady elect Melania Trump was poised  in her new role and  witnessing her Husbands oath will definitely be a test of time for her.

                                                           The pugnacious candidate came out on top despite his controversial statements during his campaign for the presidency.

The celebratory nature of the service included: trumpeters, singers, prayers and reading of the holy bible which was a worthy characteristic on the US system. 

President Trump took the stand at 12:01 pm and  acknowledge every one in attendance including people around the world. He delivered an 18- minutes united speech vowing to transfer power back to the people of America.

 “Today we are not taking power but we are transferring power from Washington DC and giving it back to you the people” said Trump. “January 20, 2017 will be remembered as the people became the rulers again”

He acknowledges the depletion of the military over the years and the destruction of the country and decree that a new vision will govern the land and every decision on immigration and taxes will be America first.

 "You will never be ignored again. Your hopes and dream will define your American destiny together we will all make America proud, safe and great again."
