Trump's intention is to end the provocative actions that the US took against Russia and normalize relations, Virginia State Senator Richard Black said, adding that this is a great time to draw back from war, unnecessary conflict, and regime change.
Donald Trump's first full day as US president saw thousands marching in Washington, DC as a part of
the Women's March. So-called sister events were held across the globe. Organizers said they wanted to send Trump a message
"that women's rights are human rights."This followed violent and destructive protests that erupted across the US after Trump's inauguration. In Portland, Oregon, demonstrators burned American flags. Other major cities saw violent clashes with police.
RT: Were you surprised by these pretty much unprecedented protests?Richard Black: I am not surprised at all.
There are people like George Soros who pay a great deal of money; I understand that many of these protesters have been paid $1,500 to $2,500 to attend. Most of the ones that I saw at the inauguration lacked energy, lacked passion... This is all just theatrics and it doesn't mean anything.
RT: Why do you think people are feeling anger that Donald Trump is now the president?RB: The Trump administration may bring about more dramatic change than we have ever seen in our lifetimes. And a great deal of that is going to be in the area of foreign policy. And I think that you are seeing some Republicans who are very nervous about what is going to happen, because he will fundamentally alter our foreign policy.
Comment: So far, so good...the start of big things, terrific things.
