Well I've taken my post election break from all things
political and now it's high time that I write an IWFTCP review of President Trump's
First Inaugural Address.
I have done this kind of thing before on this blog and
the rules for my scoring are explained
here. But just for the sake of this article, red is
constitutional, blue is unconstitutional.
Also, as
I have explained in other posts, I have no personal like or dislike for Donald Trump or any other politician. My sole interest is in almost
all political conversation is the Constitution of the United States, which I
have sworn with my life to defend. Try as I might it is my sincere effort
to not make personal comments for or against the politician in question.
Regarding President Trump, I think he is a better choice than Obama was or
Clinton would have been, but that does not give him points for understanding or
following the Constitution. He's a businessman, and thus understands money,
which is something we need in this unit of time. However, long-term, with
regards to the rights of the American People and the responsibilities of the
presidency under the Constitution, well, you'll see...
At the outset I'm going to give the score as only 36.2%
of the things he said having anything to do with the constitutional power of
the federal government; assuming I counted correctly.
And don't get me wrong here; there are a lot of things in this that I've colored blue, as unconstitutional, which would be good for the American People, particularly businessmen, to do. It's often not the thought that these things shouldn't be done. It's just that they shouldn't be done by the president of the United States or the federal government.
So here it is. President Trump's First Inaugural
Address...
