Donald J. Trump's first week as President



                             The first week our new president has sent shock waves around the world.
                       
                         Trump has proposed ideas of an "impassable physical barrier." He has a secret plan for Mexico to pay for the border wall. Now that Trump is president, he and his aids are discovering how difficult it will be to follow through on his particular promise.
                         The latest plan, is to appropriate $15 billion for building a wall, and pay for it out of the deficit. The administration wants to cover that cost with a 20% tax increase on imported goods from Mexico.
                        The tax does not force Mexico to pay for anything, it makes American tax payers responsible for the bill.
                        Trump tweeted on  Thursday, "Mexico has taken advantage of the U.S. for long enough. Massive trade deficits and little help on the very weak border must change, now!"
                        Yesterday, Trump sent out an executive order to block 500,000 legal U.S. Residents from returning to America from trips abroad.
                        The order will ban newcomers from seven countries from entering the United States the next 90 days.
                        The countries include Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Sundan, and Yemen.
                        The order will also effect people from these countries who live in the U.S. under green cards on temporary student or employee visas.
                        In addition, after the order was signed Iran Planned to Ban U.S. citizens in retaliation for U.S. Visa Ban.  There were several reactions to the band.
                      Protesters gathered at JFK Airport after the Muslim band. A woman set to be deported back to Chile attempting suicide at the JFK Airport.
                       The woman reportedly took 30 sleeping pills and a few muscle relaxers. The woman fell unconscious and had difficulty breathing. Port authority police were called to the scene.
                      For now, after the backlash, federal courts halted Donald Trump's Immigration Ban. The federal court for the District of New York issued an emergency stay. The people being detained at airports, and those in transit were allowed to continue.
                     Many people have recently come out in support of Trump.
                     Gospel Singer-Songwriter, Tina Campbell penned a lengthy open letter explaining just why she both forgives and supports the new POTUS.
                   She gives biblical reasons as to why others should pray for him.
                   In conclusion, maybe turning our backs is not the solution. We the people of the United States, must come together because we are divided. In order to move forward, ignoring the problem is not the answer.
