What President Trump should do his first day in office

I have been living in the US since 1995, going from being a visa-holder when I first arrived to becoming a US Citizen 7 years ago.

I have never been so concerned about the future of our nation as I am now. Because of my escatology, I am not surprised by what I see happening, but being informed about future trouble and pain does not make things easier.

Everyone who knows me knows that I am a "system and standards guy," which means that I strongly believe that as long as we subscribe to the same standards and rely on the same system, and the system allows modifications to itself, then we can either resolve our differences in a way that is beneficial for everyone or keep the conversation going in a civil way.

What I have seen lately is the erosion of the system itself, supported by an increasing disregard for the standards. This combination is deeply concerning.  

Humanly speaking, it would be acceptable that President Trump, once he is back in office, would use the now corrupted judicial system to go after his political opponents - the proverbial tit for tat. This action would not only be acceptable, but, unfortunately, it may also be demanded by some sectors of the population and several politicians. 

But it would be great if he called for a congressional investigation to publicly demonstrate and denounce how the system has been corrupted. Then, instead of looking for an act of symmetrical revenge, he would call for three days of national prayer for healing and reconciliation, and then he and his team would begin to work on their agenda for our country.

In a recent interview with Dr. Phil, President Trump affirmed that the best revenge would be to demonstrate his plans for our nation actually worked. So, there is a sliver of hope, but I am not holding my breath.

What do you think about all this?
