The 45th President of the United States of America

Over the past two years, we have witnessed a rendezvous of media attention on the probable most powerful nation on earth, the United States.

Now, a short while ago, what had began, as the man behind it rightly called it "a commonsense revolution" has ended at the US capitol where Chief Justice of the Supreme court, John Roberts administered the oath of office to President Donald Trump, or perhaps actually marks the beginning of the next chapter; reality.

As characteristic of most presidential inaugural speeches but few exceptions, though  I wouldn't say it didn't offer a fair idea of his policy direction, his speech offered no specifics on what exactly he would be doing as President.  Somethings that were actually apparent include the fact that it will now be "America first" a sharp rhetoric that re-echo's the President's message although his campaign that, unlike his incoming administration, the Obama administration had done lots of good to the world at the expense of the United States. President Trump is quoted as saying, "it is the right of all nations to put their own interest first", it is only hysterical that history might just be different if this is taken seriously in capitals like those of Russia, North Korea and Iran.

The President did offer some hope but not unconventional of new comers on the capital hill, when he said that the transition of power was from Washington back to "the people" and that his administration will give every American a voice (a point many would dispute following the controversial and sometimes, people-isolating statements of the new Commander in Chief). 

Finally, after all the glamour that accompanies the inauguration of a US President, there is no doubt, as he would soon discover, that the gap between the promises of a political campaign, especially a somewhat overblown one, is often as wide as the distance between the sun and earth.
