Excellent speech by President Donald, but naturally the "against everything" folks will be highly critical.

In order to appreciate this speech you actually have to listen to it and not just read the bent and twisted version the partisan press will likely try to pass off on you.

If the critics on TD are anything to go by, Donald does not have much to worry about....but of course they can always keep attacking his 10 year old son, wife or even his dog if he has one.

^blah, blah, blah...
Same old shit. The country's a disaster and only I can fix it because I'm really terrific.

Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, delivering a fiery inauguration speech that promised to unseat the Washington establishment and return power to the American public.

If this is true then President Trump had better watch his back, front and all sides for the US has a history of knocking off presidents the establishment does not like.

You realize he didn't say that kinda shit right?

Did you even watch it?

I didn't watch the speech.

All policy and strategy stuff aside, which I've had tons complaints about during the past eight years, ya know what I've just realized in the past few days I'll really miss about the past eight years? Having a legitimately good guy in office. Say what you want, Obama made it there himself without money or birth connections, did so purely on ambition/charisma and pretty much seemed like he didn't completely lose touch with what it means to be a normal person. Basically the right wing prototype of a self made man (which of course they don't really care about or believe in anyways).

Politics aside, I'm just gonna miss having a genuinely good person in charge of our country.

Your thread reply reminded me of a post I saw on FB earlier:

"He may not be perfect ( who is?) But at least he GENUINELY loves this Country! God bless the USA!".

Seriously ... WTF has he done to make somebody think that?

It's his message throughout the campaign.

BO and Trump both "love" their country, or perhaps we should say, "believe in it."

They both (and HRC) had different beliefs about the degree of international globalization the US has taken on in recent decades.

There are many factors why HRC lost. It's becoming more clear now that the economy was a major factor b/c of the recent polling.

He only twice used "I" in his speech. It was all about "we", as in "we the people".

Perhaps you simply cannot comprehend the word "objectivity".

Don't fret, our Humbert has a habit of thinking people said things that they did not actually say....

Can we expect any of our anti-Donald posters to state specifically what was in the speech that was so disagreeable...or offensive...or a threat to the free world?...and I mean things he actually said rather that what they thought he might have said because they were too prejudiced to listen....

Nope. Clearly they have no intention of doing anything logical like that.

Trouble is, you Trumptards can't distinguish between his meaning and his rhetoric. A dark, ugly picture of American and his promise to right all that is wrong with it.

....but can you tell us what exactly what was in that speech that was offensive, or a threat to the free world, or anything that would get any normal well balance person upset...?? Can you do that?

What a shame Trump messed up Stephen Miller's fine speech with his weird voice, spastic gestures, and bizarre emphases. I wonder if he even read it before he got on the podium.

Objectivity??? FFS we would stand a better chance of having a sermon by a Hasidic Rabbi treated with objectivity in the Finsbury Mosque.....

Can you tell us if there was anything in the speech that was even remotely optimistic, uplifting, positive or unifying? It was a dark, dystopian view of how fucked up the country is and that it can only be fixed by patriotism, loyalty and belief in Donald Trump. Very authoritarian in tone.

Ah, so you have to answer my question with a question......OK then, so you can't come up with anything other than a sweeping generalization based on blind prejudice and things you imagine he said. Enough said.

On another note: You know when critics have to resort to comments about hand size, sound of voice, gestures, and mocking a mans kids, wife and family.....they have absolutely nothing of substance to say, so they resort to the very lowest level and become unworthy of engagement.

Simple truth is that it was a fine speech. It was very positive, uplifting and full of simple truths, and promises which in some cases may be a bit unrealistic; but that's pretty standard for someone just taking over office.

Remember...."Change you can believe in and hope for the future"......"Yes we can" Yes we can" Yes we can" Well NO he could not....but there was little doubt about his sincerity at the time. It's a tough job.

But it wasn't his. It was written by Stephen Miller. Simple truth is that Trump was an actor reading a script. Simple truth is that NONE of these fkrs are capable of speaking for themselves, they pay other people to put words in their mouths.

Speech writers are pretty well universally employed by people in high office... It's something of an art. It's not necessary for a leader to write their own speeches but they, and their advisers, would certainly review what is written, and approve it before delivery.
The speech reflected very well what Trump has been saying before and during the election campaign....so it seems more like him putting the words in the mouth of the speech writer.

Great singers don't have to write their own songs either.....

^^ Utterly lost soul, so sad....
