Putting America First

 History - people rant and get upset because they do not know history.

For instance, many are upset that President Trump is spending money on a ballroom while the country faces numerous, more important issues. But another president and first lady did something very similar.

That president was President Lincoln and the First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln.

During the Civil War, First Lady Mary Lincoln hosted lavish balls and wore expensive gowns. President Lincoln allowed this because it was important to show the states and the rest of the world that America would be just fine. It was a symbol of America’s greatness.

Today, we have President Trump doing the same with the building of a Ballroom and the painting of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Though most of us will never visit the ballroom or even the pool, it is a reflection on America for the world to see. America is back; we are doing just fine, and America's standards are returning to glory.

I'm proud to be an American and have a president putting America first once again!
