MLK and Inauguration Day

As luck will have it, President-elect Trump will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States of America on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

This will be the third time this will take place.

This happened with President Bill Clinton (in 1997) and President Barack Obama (in 2013), both also during their second inauguration.

This will not take place until 2053 (of there is still a US of A).

At any rate, the aligning of these two events this year is a great opportunity to unite Americans who have been divided for the longest time.

With everything bad happening all over the world and also within the US, a more united United States is more imperative than ever.

Unity

In a speech in 1965, MLK Jr. said "We must all learn to live together as brothers, or we will all perish together as fools". 

And he is so right.

Incidently President-elect Trump already hinted that "unity" will be the major theme of his inaugural address on MLK Day.

Hard to see why he wouldn't take the opportunity that rarely happens.

Here's hoping this is the inauguration (the beginning, the start, the launch) of something hopefully good.

"Basically it's going to be about bringing our country together."

-Donald Trump

The only problem now is that it is the diehard supporters of both political personalities and political parties that need to find a way around their refusal to see that "unity" and "learning to live as brothers and sisters" is what is needed.
