The far-right-wingers were invited by Rep. Steve King (R-IA).

His massive ego is clearly visible in the picture, as he consumes about 80% of it ...

I wasn't sure where else to put this, but Trump's official portrait is out now in case anyone was wondering.



Just saw it on Wikipedia. The portrait itsself is ugly. Particularly because he's not smiling.

The portrait is not really ugly in an artistic point of view. While Obama's reflected his personality really well, being cool, relaxed, smiling, youthful etc. - Trump's really fits his personality somehow.

Mean, arrogant, omnipresent and somehow powerful, like in: "Don't mess with me !" while the large black spaces of his suit are emblematic of his obscurity. Meanwhile, the red tie sticks out like a bloodstained dagger.

Apparently, Trump will deliver a speech with a "philosophical vision for America" tomorrow ...

LOL.

I had to laugh at the word "philosophical".

Apparently, it will rain while Trump is sworn in and speaks but weather should get better for the parade.

Trump will get the nuclear codes in the next few hours and a briefing about the hidden aliens at Area 51 and the tests that the US-government did with them ...

Austrian FPÖ-leader HC Strache and Norbert Hofer have made it over the pond and already met with Michelle Bachmann and Steve King somewhere in Washington.

The far-right wingers brought another FPÖ-man with them and Strache also his wife:



They will visit Trump's inauguration later.

More pictures from the "Tea Party/FPÖ" meeting in Washington:



The Tea Partiers are on the Left, the Austrians on the Right.

An Austrian journalist for the "Standard" who's in DC asked a local what he thought about today and he replied:

"I have never seen so many white people in DC in my entire life."

LOL

For as much as I disliked her, I applaud Hillary for attending Trump's inauguration today.

Good manners.

Jeff Zeleny (CNN) shouts:

"Hillary, how are you feeling being here today ?"

After that speech it's pretty clear what TRUMPISM is all about:

American egoism and narcissism.

I have no clue what's said aside from what's on Atlas.

His speech was virtually a recycled campaign speech of his that he wrote in about 30 minutes between giving a Breitbart interview and watching a NASCAR race ...

I didn't hear the "philosophical" part that was mentioned yesterday. At all.

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.
