Inquiring Photographer: Expectations of President Trump

This week we asked readers the one thing they would like to see President Donald Trump do and/or not do in his first year in office.

I would like to see him make America great as he said he wants to do. I don’t want to see him take away Obamacare, unless he can replace it with something that’s going to be more effective and will include more people. I’m hopeful, let’s give him a chance.

I don’t want him to deport any immigrants, because this city was made by immigrants. I’m afraid of Donald Trump because he’s going to deport me. I’m facing deportation for selling two $5 bags of marijuana to two undercover [officers] and they put a gun to my head and nearly killed me in 1997.

I would like to see Donald Trump bring the country together and not cause even more division between the different nationalities and races.

The one thing I would like Donald Trump to do this year is to help make it a little easier for students to get to college. I would like to go to college but it’s really expensive. The one thing I would not like him to do is continue this division we have in this country. We’re at a point where half of America is against the other half. We shouldn’t be divided, so he should work on ways to make that better.

The one thing I would not like to see him do is repeal Obamacare, the reason being I don’t believe they have a plan to replace it with. There’s 20,000 people who will lose their healthcare, and I think that’s crazy.
