The TRUMP inauguration thread

[Virginiá]

Very small crowds. How does it compare with the Bush inaugurations?

I don't know about Bush's, but here is Obama's side-by-side with Trump's:

Glorious.

[angus]

it was a peaceful transfer of power.  That probably comes as a disappointment to some, but I think it's swell.

Obama and his wife seemed a bit stoic, maybe depressed, as they bade Trump and his wife farewell.  I suppose Obama's legacy will be stripped bare within the next couple of months.  That's probably a frustrating thought for him.

Commence Trumpification!

The turd is leaving in the helicopter.

[Dr. Arch]

Guys, that was a horrendous speech. One of the worst ever. He put literally zero effort into it to make it meaningful. Pretty shameful tbh

Yep. One can tell that he wrote it in the last minute.

[Mike88]

Tv coverage here in Portugal is shocked by the speech. One guy said it was the least elegant speech ever.

Also, a commentator just said this speech resembles Nazi Germany!!! God!! Seriously, here everyone is speechless.

What about his speech resembles Nazi Germany? I'm refusing to watch it, so I have no clue what's said aside from what's on Atlas.

The commentator stressed the "Buy American and hire American" line and something Trump said about God running the country. I personally didn't related that to Nazi Germany, but the guy on TV was just haunted.

Mitch McConnell ?

[Sir Mohamed]

Honestly, it was the worst speech I have heard of any president. It wasn't actually an inaugural address, it was a campaign speech.

[Tender Branson]

His speech was basically an airing of the grievances of rural America

What he said is what I've heard thousands of times while driving through rural America

In some ways its said because Trump really won't be able to make their lives better

Correct.

If Austria is an example, there's some potential for Trump to f**k things up really badly and enable a Democratic comeback in 2018 and 2020.

If rural voters get a grasp of the corruption and inefficiency in the next years, similar to our right-wing government after 2000, they might wipe Trump and Republicans out in these years, especially if Trump fails to deliver for rural voters ...

But Democrats should not implode themselves and certainly shouldn't nominate Hillary again. Ever.

LOL!!

Nonetheless, the 2017 inauguration had one of the largest crowds in history.

"Buy American and hire American"

wow, that's exactly like saying we should invade Poland, kill everyone there, and take their land!

Poor lady. Her time was probably truly 2004. She could have beaten W/Cheney/Rove.

We know that it is real, it doesn't have to be said over and over again. Those who can't accept climate change is their problem.

The guy exagerated a lot, i know, but if you had seen his face... he was shattered. Right now they have an economist saying that if Apple decides to move their factories to America, you guys should get ready to pay more than 1,000 dollares for an Iphone...

Which wouldn't be a problem if Americans, especially the working poor, were actually paid better for their labor. Good thing Trump and the GOP also champion living wage laws, higher wages, and over time pay! Oh, wait...

[Sir Mohamed]

Now he's signing laws appointments.

[Starpaul20]

All hail King Donald, of House Trump, first of his name, king of the Aryans and the Kievan Rus, lord of the 50 states and protector of the realm.

[Sir Mohamed]

LOL, he doesn't know that he should use a new pen for each signing. LOL!

And b*tch of Vladimir Putin.

[America Needs R'hllor]

Are they throwing shade at Ben Carson?

[Suburbia]

It's time to simply move on. Obama is a good man, but he had questionable people around him. That ends, today.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Are they throwing shade at Ben Carson?

Yeah, this pen thing is hilarious. No one wants Carson!! I'd die for that!

Just curious. Do you know the name of the guy?
