Donald Trump is going to be the 47th President even though he has almost three dozen felony convictions. This is a big deal because he’s the first president-elect with a criminal record like that to take office. He wasn’t put in jail after the convictions so now that people voted him in he will be sworn in next week in Washington DC.
This is making people think about how the justice system and voting work together. He’ll be promising to follow the Constitution and all the laws even though he has a criminal record. The fact that he was voted in even though he was convicted of crimes means that popular vote has given a convicted person the chance to be the top leader of the country.
The inauguration is going to be a really historic moment because of everything that has happened. It shows how complicated the American political system is. It’s a strange situation that someone with a criminal past like his can be elected and hold the highest office. It also makes you think about what it means when he takes the oath and promises to follow the law because of his previous convictions.
