Moral Judgement of Snowflakes

What a thrill this Inauguration day was! Attending school on January 20th did not stop me from streaming Trump's inaugural address mid-class on my phone. There has been so much build-up to this moment, this being my first time paying close attention to a presidential race. 


It was nice to see Hillary Clinton attend the ceremony not as Trump's former 
running mate, but as a former first lady. The transition of power is definitely getting smoother which means democracy works! 

What struck me as odd, however, is the refusal of so many to attend the inauguration. Democratic representatives from Georgia, California, Texas, Minnesota, Tennessee, New York, Oregon, and Arizona refused to involve themselves with Trump as well as entertainers and designers. 


Sophie Theallet, the first designer to make a formal declaration of refusal to associate herself with Trump's first lady, Melania declares: 

"Whether to associate with him (Trump) has become a moral question. Performing during his inauguration, marching in his parade and attending his swearing-in ceremony are all decisions that have caused personal and public soul-searching for people in the public eye." 

It is not liberal's exclusion of all things Trump that strike me as odd. The real conundrum is their reasoning for not collaborating with him. In this case, the designer calls it a "moral question" rather than a question of business. My response is: by what moral standard?

To liberals, what makes Trump untouchable but Obama "one of the best presidents ever"? We live in a world where people praise someone who supports the murder of unborn babies yet chastises someone who calls Rosie O'Donnell      "fat". 



If your standards are based on your own moral judgments alone with no foundation, how can you possibly make reasonable decisions? The Bible shows Christians that God sets moral standards, not fallible me.

 Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?

This is not to say Trump is infallible because obviously, no man is. I am simply pointing out that there is absolutely no moral justification to attend Obama's inauguration but remain absent at Trump's. 

Let the rhetoric of the new president not distract us from the actual events that took place at the U.S. Capitol this Friday. As Trump aptly observed in his inaugural address, "What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people."



Trump, a successful millionaire businessman, did not become president just for kicks. He actually has a plan to fix what he sees as a breaking system which is America. Mid-speech he even claims "I will fight for you with every breath in my body -- and I will never, ever let you down."

Time will tell whether or not his tall orders will be fulfilled. However, it is commendable to see that our new president seems more active than our last in correcting injustices for the middle class. Trump is for America in his unique way and determining how much you like him based on your feelings is ridiculous.
