Donald Trump has been sworn in as the new President of the United States (POTUS). There was a time when I hated this man with a passion because he at that time represented to me what was wrong with this world; a rich and pompous idiotic showman who did not know what was really going on in the real world around him! To my own great surprise, I realized later how he and I had so much in common! He always said what he felt about everything, without thinking whether or not it was 'politically correct'! He ultimately proved the political and journalistic 'elite' and 'experts' look like the real stupid idiots that they really are when it came to what the people really felt and really wanted! Congratulations and Good Luck to Donald Trump!

Here is the theme song from President Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony, Donald and Melania dancing to "I did it my way..."! The Americans always call this a Frank Sinatra song; but it was originally written and composed by Canadian Paul Anka, Here it is...

And now, the end is near;
So I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and every highway;
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
May I say - not in a shy way,
"Oh no, oh no not me,
I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say all the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

I like this song very much because it is very personal to me; I always did it 'my way'!
