That has not happened to me before. I feel sure that he and his chosen staff of people will work hard and diligently in our best interest. We must give them some time and space to undo the mess.

As such disaster will only befall the unworthy - the poor, the non-christian, immigrants and the unamerican, specifically anyone who disagrees. Thus there is nothing to worry about.
