Excerpts FROM USA TODAY
"In his address Friday, Trump said his lodestar would be "America First," a phrase with resonant history suggesting a withdrawal from global engagement. one core campaign promise was to protect American workers by ending or renegotiating free-trade deals. Another was to build a wall along the southern border to limit illegal immigrants he portrayed as rapist and murderers. He suggested he might propose a registry for Muslims. He wants the Supreme Court to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that made abortion nationwide."
"In contrast, the Women's Marches on Saturday limited official participation to groups that support abortion rights, and they accused Trump of trying to toll back hard-won equal rights for women. Marchers made a point of welcoming Muslims to their ranks and extolling the alue of immigrants, including the young people known as DREAMers wha may be about to lose protection from deportation that former president Barack Obama had extended."
