Hillary Clinton has told Americans they owe President Trump an open mind.
Hillary Clinton moving concession of defeat was a dignified acceptance of the election results, contrary to what President Donald Trump had agreed to do. Clinton urged her supporters not to give up hope and to strive to uphold American values.
Having her husband Bill and daughter Chelsea by her side, the 69-year-old who is just one year younger than President Trump, was dignified and composed in the midst of the obvious painful outcome. Clinton admitted her pain but told America to unite behind Donald Trump.
One interesting sentence in Clinton’s speech was her statement that Americans owe Donald Trump an open mind. Clinton also seemed to be hinting that President Trump have an open mind towards Muslims when she spoke of the American constitution’s rule of law on the freedom of worship and expression. Clinton said:

“I believe in America, and I still do,” she said. “Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind, and the goodwill to lead.”
“Our constitution enshrines the rule of law, freedom of worship and expression, we cherish these values too.
“Our constitutional democracy demands our participation, all the time.

“We have to make our economy work for everyone – not just those at the top – protecting our country and protecting our planet.
“Our responsibility as citizens is to keep doing our part.”
She thanked her team, describing them as the best anyone could have wished for, before closing and telling women and girls not to give up hope: “Many of you are embarking on your careers and you will have setbacks too.
“But please, never stop believing that fighting for what is right is worth it. It is, it is worth it.
“And to all the women and especially the young women who put their faith in this campaign and in me, I want you to know that nothing has made me prouder than to be your champion.
“I know we have still not shattered that highest, hardest glass ceiling. But I know that someone will. To all the little girls.
“You have the power to pursue your own dreams.”
In the early hours of the morning Mr Trump had offered generous words for his vanquished opponent, saying she had worked hard for many years and was owed a “deep debt of gratitude”.
Open Mind
Clinton’s urge for an open mind appeared to have also been directed to Donald Trump, who has expressed an intention to temporarily ban Muslims from entering America. Trump once explained that his reason was to control terrorism because most terrorists have been Muslims.
Trump’s comments sparked controversy in America and abroad, but many of Trump’s fans simply liked the fact he was plain honest about his intentions. Voters of all countries have had enough of politicians lying to them and being dishonest about their plans. Trump has always cut an honest figure, despite all his failings or weaknesses.
Yet, whilst it is true that there will be many people unable to consider an open mind even relevant when it comes to this plan of President Trump, there will be many Americans who will easily adapt to that. It will be the new America under president Trump, although some of his advisers may seek to persuade Trump to change his mind.
Another issue Americans will have to have an open mind towards President Trump is on Trump’s radical position on abortion. If Hilary Clinton’s moving speech is to be fully taken, then Americans will have to accept his laws on abortion. However, this will mean women all over America being forced to have babies they cannot afford to take care of, or babies they were forced to have, under circumstances of rape.
This will prove very difficult to have an open mind about, though we can just try, right? Wrong! The topic of abortion will require open and full debate on the several problems this may cause. America may run the risk of several demonstrations and further strain on the American economy if all women are forced to have babies they never planned for.

President Trump may have a trump card to address it, and we will wait patiently with an open mind to hear it.
