So, Donald Trump, our 47th president, has declared that America is entering a “Golden Age.” Sounds exciting, right? According to the dictionary, the “Golden Age” is all about happiness, peace, and prosperity. But, honestly, I’m left wondering: what does that actually mean for the everyday American?
Trump didn’t really dive into the details. Instead, he made some bold claims. For starters, he said America would reclaim the Panama Canal. He also promised more expansionism, which, let’s be real, sounds like a big idea but no one really knows how it’ll play out.
Then came the surprising part—Trump pardoned 1,500 criminals, including those convicted of crimes and even treason. He also tossed aside 78 executive orders from the previous president, calling his term a “disaster.”
But wait, there’s more. Trump made a move that challenged the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to anyone born in America. His executive order aimed to strip that right, a decision that definitely raised some eyebrows.
Oh, and remember when he swore to uphold the Constitution? Well, he didn’t even place his hand on the Bible during the oath of office. Instead, he made it clear that from now on, he would only recognize two sexes: male and female—basically, ignoring the existence of transgender people.
Now, I’m left thinking: Does any of this truly align with the idea of “happiness, peace, and prosperity” for everyone? I’m not so sure. Maybe I’m missing something here.
If anyone out there has a clearer picture of what this “Golden Age” really looks like, I’d love to hear it. Please, share the good news!
