One Year Later – A Nation Reflects

We’ve made a huge, huge mistake. This sentiment has been felt across America over the last 10 months, and more so than ever on the one year anniversary of the day the nation elected Donald J. Trump as president.  A day further plagued by the news that Syria has now signed the Paris Climate Agreement, leaving the United States as the only nation not a part of the landmark deal.

Residents across the country took time out of their days to scream into the abyss and openly weep about the catastrophic choice that was made that on that fateful day one year ago. One citizen explained to Probably Legit, “I spent about 10-15 minutes just angry yelling and crying today. Hopefully he’ll get impeached, or absolute worst case scenario we have him for three more years. But I have to pull it together. Thanksgiving is coming up and my dad is really sensitive when I call Trump the worst and most embarrassing president in the history of this country.”

How did the president spend the anniversary of his election? Trump divided his time equally between golfing, watching Fox News, sending out multiple official presidential statements via misspelled tweets, and inching the country closer to a full out nuclear war. But the president also did one more important thing. He inadvertently taught a nation the consequences of apathy and inspired a generation of new candidates that plan on doing the hard work it will take to climb back out of the large hole he will ultimately dig. There is always hope.
