They're just freaking out because it was an inauguration for America alone, and they don't really know what to do with that.

You know, there are lots of people who are absolutely terrified that Trump means what
he says and, based on winning an election he "couldn't win", might actually be able to do some of it. If he manages to walk the razors edge and get some work coming back to the rust belt without too much pain and disruption, and gets a handle on illegal immigration, there are going to be a lot of out of work blue dog democrats who are going to vote for him in 2020. And those people are about to piss their pants at the thought. |

They have repeated the same talking points they used after his acceptance speech at the Republican convention. They're out of new tricks, they are irrelevant. |

Jesus H, was he even listening to the inaugural address? I've never felt so uplifted. He promised to take our country back from the political elite and give it back to the people. That should've made everyone feel great. You can really tell who the anti-American agitators are based on their reaction to the speech.

My wife and I watched the speech, and I counted how many times Trump said "I". I counted 4. In Obummer's last speech, he said it over 70 times in 15 minutes. Trump isn't about "I" or them, he is abut us (US).
