A number of people have asked me to comment on President Trump’s inaugural address. It has a great deal to do with modern commerce in America. Everything to do with the future of modern commerce in the world.
The picture on the right comes from my wonderful friend Ann who gestured like this while watching the Trump inaugural: “this man has balls this big.”
He began with “We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people.
"Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come.”
He is serious having said this every day for a year during the election campaign.
Of course he put himself in the tradition of Andrew Jackson with his bold attack on the dias: “today we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another, or from one party to another -- but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.”
What is true about this inaugural is that the core of America and modern commerce is the desire and ability to get things done. We are a building, strong and determined people. At least half of us are.
A true American, Trump, is unique in his ability to say: “America will start winning again, winning like never before.
"We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth. And we will bring back our dreams.
"We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.”
Nothing is more American, the land of modern commerce, than the determination to dream, build and act. The Golden Gate Bridge, 2 miles long, took less than 3 years to build in 1938. The newly built Eastern span of the Bay Bridge is also 2 miles long and took 11 years to build in 2013.
America has lost its dreams, perverted its competence, disappeared in a quagmire of hopeless Climate Armageddon. We have become a nation of wimps, cowards, environmental reviews and pathetic pussys.
In his inaugural address, President Trump has called for a renewal of the America that created world prosperity and he offers our way of life as a light that will “shine as an example for everyone to follow.”
Great speech, and Donald Trump clearly wrote it himself like Lincoln at a similar time when American values were nearly lost.
