The first 100 days

President-Elect Donald Trump said this month “Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World!” Trump Sees the U.S. as a ‘Disaster.’ The Numbers Tell a Different Story. - The New York Times 

There will begin on Monday a supremely momentous first 100 days of the second Trump administration during which President-Elect Trump will deliver his version of shock and awe that is needed to reverse the disaster that he says the United States has become.

Here in Alabama the responsibility of Alabama institutional parties and other Alabama parties for either having culpability in contributing to the United States being a disaster as Trump contends, or being a positive force against the United States being a disaster, is deserving of consideration, with a view going forward and particularly in connection with the first 100 days starting Monday.

In 2022 I wrote Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: A time for AL institutional respect and trust regarding Alabama institutions. I personally think they have fallen short.

Given the shock and awe that is expected to unfold from President-Elect Trump starting Monday, and the likely flummoxed condition of Alabamians regarding the same, I will undertake engaging with Alabma institutional parties to see whether they can help Alabamians out of their flummoxed state.
