It’s been reported that some “A-list” celebrities are considering leaving the United States because Trump was reelected President. President Trump is a man who will serve four more years and then there will be someone else elected to take his place. The person in the White House is not forever.
Keep in mind that the pendulum swings. If Trump has a bad four years, then America would most likely elect a Democrat. Elections are not easy to predict. Just look at this past election. Many Americans including me were duped into thinking that Kamala Harris had a chance of winning. Almost every day ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN lied to the American public about the poll numbers. Or, pollsters were lying to the networks. Every day it sounded like Harris either had a very small lead or that Harris and Trump were tied. Fox news kept reporting that Trump was in the lead which started sounding like they were pulling an ABC and just making up the stats as bad as the others were. On election day we came to find out that Fox news sources must have been better since Trump won by a resounding majority all the way around. So, who knows what four years will bring?
It’s insane that people want to throw temper tantrums and stomp out of the country but may the door hit your fanny on the way out. Go ahead and leave. Do you think the average American cares?
I don’t understand how anyone can be raised up in America and become a successful movie star, entertainer or business person, make millions of dollars and maybe even billions and then cry in their cheerios. Most of these entertainers who want to pack up and leave made their money from people in the United States. They live lavish lifestyles. Sounds to me like they are very ungrateful and very spoiled. Italy, France, the United Kingdom, etc., are all great places but they aren’t the ones who elevated them to stardom and multi-millionaire statuses.
How about some gratitude? Thanksgiving would be a great time for some of these Hollywood icons to stop and give thanks for America, the Amirian people and all that America has done for them. This country is not perfect. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, and Elon Musk are all people who have done well but they have their faults as do we all. If we tuck our tails and run out the door because leadership has changed, then how do you make an impact four years from now when it will be time to change leadership again?
The early pilgrims sacrificed and risked their lives for America. They came here seeking religious freedom and a better life. They paid the price paving the way for these United States to become the greatest country in the world.
Every generation has to pay a price. Our beautiful freedom and the opportunity to enjoy all that America has to offer has come as a result of the hard work of our forefathers and lives given on battle fields around the world so you and I can sit down at a table and give thanks to God and the many who have given so much for us.
I like to visit other countries. There are some beautiful people all around the world. However, there is no place like America. We have a lot of work to do. Our new leadership has a full plate of hard work ahead of him. Pray for Donald Trump. Pray for the new leadership. Pray for this country and for each other. Give thanks every day for every opportunity that comes our way.
May this Thanksgiving be the best ever for you and may all of us in America have an attitude of gratitude and thanksgiving.
