Obama Leaves, Trump Arrives, and the Adults Again Take Charge

A new day has dawned, one of optimism and real hope, as President Obama exits, stage right, and Donald Trump enters, stage “Make America Great Again,” bringing with him business savvy, economic sense, logical immigration and national security policy and a boldness that sends the message to overseas governments who’ve managed to take over the U.S. place on the world stage in recent years: America’s back, and the adults are in charge.

Gone are the days of automatic concession and conciliation. No more apology tours, no more bowing to foreign leaders.

It’s like a weight’s been lifted – one that’s been there so long, its presence has almost been forgotten. That’s not to say Trump’s a savior; that role belongs to Jesus. Trump is just a guy, remember. But with divine intervention, and with an American population that remembers to put God first, not government – and certainly not sin and false gods – America is on track to a freer society, a more blessed and protected existence.

But a picture says way more than words could.

And this one says: Obama’s last night in office. The White House wasn’t exactly partying.
