Well here's the thing........the founding fathers saw no need to spell out any requirement to be president other than age and citizenship. Surely, they thought of this.

They could have laid out educational requirements, military experience, and/or any other type of experience or requirement they thought necessary.

Neither Trump or Hillary was my pick to be president of this country but when it came down to the two of them I could not make myself to vote for Hillary in no way shape or form. Donald then became my choice.

We watched the general election unfold, and pretty much defied the logic of the professional pollsters, and most in the media who although stated the race was close were 99.99% Ivory Pure Sure Hillary was going to win.

It doesn't matter who you voted for, or what side of the fence you're on. It doesn't matter what you believe in, or your hopes and wished for our country's future. You can hate or love Trump. You can act like silly children and riot on the street because the election didn't go your way.

ALL of that aside, it is simply surreal that Mr. Donald J Trump, the man we've watched build tall buildings, casinos, enjoy his life as a businessman playing with the big boys, become the 45th president of the United States. I don't take it lightly. I've laughed at this whole circus pre-election. I've shaken my head at the post election antics. I wonder where this country is heading.

Surreal. The only word I can use for this outcome.
his own sister said -never compete with trump he will always win.I mean it says so right in his name!!!

Thankfully the democrats obliged Trump by running the only candidate that he could beat. Had they run Bernie or Joe or a reasonably alert rutabaga, Donald would have lost.

In the interest of full disclosure, I did vote for Donald.

Here's another thing, the American people are well within their legal rights under the Constitution to insist upon a President who is not a fraud or a racketeer as defined by the laws of the land.
