Maithanet Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 He speech was typical Trump. If you don't like it, you probably don't like him. I didn't and I don't. One line jumped out at me: Quote When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice. I didn't expect prejudice to be mentioned at all, but instead the one mention is that it is not possible, if you are sufficiently patriotic. That is either bafflingly naive or incredibly insulting.

And, what's worse he's using the crowds of the man he has demonized and decried for years to make his look better. It is the act of a very small person.

It was still Trump and spoke to the base, but was tailored for the inauguration and sounded more presidential. I finally read it. What do you think was good about it? Good without qualification, good from the perspective of his base, or good for Trump, because anything slightly coherent exceeds expectations for him?

Quote In its place, the Trump administration has put up a page declaring an “America First Energy Plan” that makes no mention at all of climate change as a problem worth worrying about — except to note that Trump plans to roll back much of Obama’s climate policies. In their place, Trump plans to take steps to unlock “the estimated $50 trillion in untapped shale, oil, and natural gas reserves, especially those on federal lands.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxom 1974 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Really, if the event wasn't "sold out" or heavy with crowds, I wish they would have subjected the inauguration to proper television black out rules... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
