In his inaugural address, Trump criticized past leaders and made ambitious promises for America’s future, aiming to reshape the nation.
Washington: So, Trump just gave his inaugural address, and wow, he really went after the past leaders. He painted a pretty grim picture of the country, calling it a “failed nation.” He promised to turn things around, claiming we’re entering a “golden age.”
He spoke from the Capitol Rotunda, which is a bit different from the usual outdoor setting. It was freezing outside, so I guess that makes sense. The crowd was mostly his supporters, including some big names like Elon Musk.
Trump’s speech was full of big promises, like sending troops to the border and boosting oil production. He didn’t hold back on criticizing the current government, saying they can’t handle crises and are protecting the wrong people.
He also mentioned how he’s been persecuted, linking it to his legal troubles. It’s a classic Trump move, positioning himself as the hero fighting against dark forces. He even claimed he was saved by God to make America great again.
There were some wild claims too, like saying wildfires in California were burning without any defense, which isn’t true at all. Firefighters have been working hard to contain those fires.
He also talked about wanting to stop foreign wars but then made a bold statement about taking back the Panama Canal. It’s a bit contradictory, right? He wants peace but also seems ready for a fight.
The crowd was mostly cheering him on, but you could see some former presidents looking pretty unimpressed. It was a stark contrast to the usual big crowds at inaugurations. This time, only about 600 people were there, mostly political VIPs and family.
It’s interesting to see how things have changed since his last inauguration. Just a few years ago, there was chaos in the Capitol, and now he’s back, making big promises again.
