This is a quick summary of what I heard in his remarks:
We (speaking of his new administration) will:
Fix the Education system so that not matter your status or wealth or where you live, you can have the schooling you need to succeed.
Clean up violent crime, everywhere, especially Chicago.
Get rid of illegal immigrants who commit crimes, and are undesirable.
Bring back our military so that no one will attack us.
Bring back American jobs from oversees.
Secure good jobs, clean air, clean water.
Lower taxes and more wealth in each man's pocket.
Fix our infrastructure and bring new jobs in construction.
Get rid of excessive government regulations that stifle prosperity.
Secure the borders of the country to keep the "bad" guys out.
I was reminded of a political slogan from the 1928 election of President Herbert Hoover.
"a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage"
In November of 2008 and 2012, the American people elected our first black President. They trusted that he would bring a new era to the country and unite us to greater things.
In November 2016, millions of Americans voted for Hillary Clinton, trusting that she, as the first female President, would be a new level of equality to the country.
And, in November 2016, other millions of citizens elected Donald Trump, the first non-politician businessman, and trusted that new prosperity and the rule of law and might would prevail to make (and keep) everyone happy, safe and prosperous.
Trusting in a party or a government or a man or a woman is risky at best.
Think Republicans with Herbert Hoover in 1928…
There is only one trust that will not fail us in the eternal scheme of matters…(from Proverbs)
"Trusting in a man (or woman) in time of trouble is like a bad tooth or a foot that slips."
"Whoever trusts in his riches will fall."
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding."
Amen
