Donald Trump is set to be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.

The property tycoon won an unexpected victory in November’s election after a controversial campaign.

Hundreds of thousands of supporters and protesters are travelling to Washington DC for the event.

Thousands of police have been deployed and many kilometres of crowd barriers set up as part of a vast security operation.

Addressing supporters on Thursday night at a pre-inaugural concert, Mr Trump pledged to unify America, bring change and make the country great “for all of our people”.

    “Great” does not always mean supreme, mighty or above all. There have been many GREAT losers. “Great” on a scale could go either way – Up or down. :twisted:

    There are two main differences between President Trump and our Opposition leader Linton Trump is Rich and Educated

    I also prayed that God gives him health and strength to also carry out his duties as promised. He deserves the opportunity to do so.
    After he was elected, he said, “Merry Christmas!” He also said, we must return to saying “Merry Christmas.”
    You do know these days many say, happy holidays. They take Christ out of Christmas.
    As a US Priest said in his Homily, “Imagine it is your birthday, they celebrate it and you are not invited to it.”
    Think of yourself and your birthday. This is what occurs in many parts of the world, Canada, US, Europe and elsewhere.
    Never wish me happy holidays. You will get a good lecture. :lol:
    God bless America!
    God bless President Trump and give him health and strength to perform his elected duties.
    God bless his wife and their family
    God bless all those he has chosen to work with him for the good of America.
    God bless the Opposition that they will cooperate with him and not make his duty difficult.
    In Jesus Name I pray.

    Some people cannot accept that he won the election. Those protesters have a lot of time to waste. What could they achieve by that?
    Prior to an election those who are especially religious should pray to God that the one elected will serve the people to the fullest that he/she will do what is best for the nation and nationals.
    The one elected may not be our choice of candidate. This occurs worldwide. Once the candidate is elected, we again pray to God that he/she will perform the elected duty efficiently.
    Some people do not pray. They are very good at criticizing, demonstrating and causing divisions. Look at them in Washington. Over 200 of them were arrested. What were they there for? To create trouble? As they continue to demonstrate worldwide, there will be more arrests.
    Americans worldwide, especially, please pray for the new President that God will help him to perform his duty, pleasing to US nationals. I do not reside in the US. I am.praying for him.

    Hello and good morning my people. Well it seems like America is going back to its past which was racial segregation but they can’t hide their behavior because of the Internet . Now this is a man who’s first two marriages ended in divorce because he cheated on his wives and in the Billy Bush tapes he admitted to try to have sex with a married woman. She refused his advances and he took her furniture shopping therefore he cheated on his current wife so don’t expect any thing good from this liar. This man told so many lies that the media couldn’t keep up with his lies so when they fact check one lie he already tell five more lies. A guy like Trump in the Caribbean we tell him his talking ********because he’s such a pathological liar. Anyway am retired so if thing get really bad in America at least I can come home until he gets out of office. In my opinion I think he will be impeached within two years.

      Obama was worst. Where have you been? If you do not view/listen to Eternal Word Television Network – Global TV and Radio, you missed out on a lot, to know what Obama did against Christians of all.
      I heard through the Media, in 2012 Newsweek called Obama the first gay president.
      He is also called a persecutor of Christians. God put a hand that Hilary was not elected. She would follow in Obama’s footsteps.
      We are not talking about Trump’s private life. Do you know Obama’s and, Hilary’s private life? Recall what her husband did in the Oval Office.
      Trump is no worst than many men worldwide. I wonder about you and your lifestyle..
      What is important is that he fulfills his elected duty. This is what Americans should concern themselves about.
      Trump said he will make everyone, those on welfare work. This is left to be seen. However, it is a wise idea. Too many lived leisure lives and depended on the US government.
      Read what is important to the US

        Hello and good morning my people. Well I appreciate that you attached your displeasure to my post but you haven’t disprove what I said about Trump. Since you brought up this Christian stuff, do you believe in “Until Death do as apart” , and if you do how can you support a man that’s on his third marriage. Also you mention Bill Clinton and I assume you talking about Monica Lewinski but remember she wasn’t under age and he didn’t commit any crime with her rather he lied under oath about their relationship. Now look at Trump where Twelve women accused him of groping them and they are suing him in Civil Court. He also said in the Billy Bush tapes that he tried to bed a married woman but she turned him down. Trump has not paid taxes in over twenty five years so how can America provide for its citizens when a rich man like him don’t pay taxes. Am a middle class person and I pay over forty thousand dollars in total taxes. Americans like catchy phrase and they vote against their…

    In spite of what we were told by the media like CNN,NBC,MSNBC,ABC,NPR,New York Times and others.I had no doubt that Trump would be the winner.Even in Dominica every news item about the Republican Party is negative, because their reporting are from the ones I mentioned above.But in the U.S.it is a different story. Do you know that from the inception of the Republican Party in the late 1850s, they have voted more Republicans in office as president.? You will hear oh! Clinton got more votes than Trump,but the president is elected through the electoral college (270).The candidate who receives the most vote does not determine the winner. And it have been so from day one.Just like Dominica not the party that receives the most vote but the one that wins 11 constituencies.You will also hear,Republicans are against the poor.That is also false,the party want people to work, not just depending on government for hand-out/food stamp.Democrats use this 2 win and enslaved the poor forever.

      There are people in Canada, the PM as well who wanted Hilary.
      If you listened to EWTN you would have heard what he stated. He is quite pleased with the Catholics and Evangelists. Trump knew they were on his side.
      Many prayers were offered up to God to send America a good – better president. Prayers were offered after the election and after his inauguration. I listened to those prayers on Catholic Rado/TV even as I am reading/commenting on DNO.
      I followed what Obama did.
      A Bishop on Catholic Radio is now talking about Trump saying, “. . . They are not biased. They now have a better chance for religious freedom . .. .” This did not exist under Obama. This was a grave concern for the US Catholic Bishops, the Catholic Church and other US Christians..
      Yes! He spoke of getting people in the work force. That would be a good thing. The more non-workers, the less the economy grows. It could remain stagnant or recede.
      I, personally am happy that Trump won.

      I like his words: “Let’s Make America Great Again!”
      From near far and wide, let us pray to God for him that he will also fulfill his elected duties/ promises.

    I cried listening to his speech. First President with so much prayer at his inaguration, as a christian nation i must say we love Donald Trump.

      Under Obama he would turn it into a non-Christian country. Hilary would have continued it.
      Have you followed his HHS Mandate and what he did to the Christian employers in his second term? There was no exception for them as religious people.
      If you listened to the News you would have heard. What I heard, most of it was on the US Catholic Radio/TV – Eternal Word Global Television Network – EWTN. Their Website – http://www.ewtn.com
      I am surprised but happy for the US Catholics that there are many US Catholic Radio Stations, affiliates of EWTN. Those of us in Canada, depending where we reside can get the Radio reception. Television providers carry EWTN – TV service.

    Go get him Trump! As u should know by now the future of Dominica’s future, deliverance, and victory now in your hand. Let’s get him and set DA free. It’s time for Dominica to be known again as a BANANA Republic that employs all of us and pays the bills of all of us, and NOT PASSPORT factory that get corrupt politicians and their friends rich while we have to depend on them for free toilet and staile ham and turkey once a year. Let’s get them, Trumpy

      Do not use Trump for this reason. America was in a worst shape than Dominica.
      Some Dominicans do not appreciate what they have.
      You have freedom of religion and other freedom. You must also help build Dominica and enhance it.
      Pray! Pray! Pray!
