President Donald Trump sworn in as America’s 47th president on Monday

President Donald Trump’s second inaugural address from inside the Capitol Rotunda, giving a sweeping indictment of the country and promises to fix its problems, “Start of a thrilling new era and to make America greater, stronger and far more exceptional than ever before. Our sovereignty will be reclaimed. Our safety will be restored. The scales of justice will be rebalanced. Our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous and free”. He vowed to send troops to the US-Mexican border, boost domestic oil production and impose tariffs to “enrich our citizens”. He rips into the country’s past leaders, by describing America’s leadership over the last four years as incompetent and corrupt. Trump has vowed to stop foreign wars and celebrated his role in helping implement a ceasefire in Gaza. Exactly eight years ago he described “American carnage” and promised to end it immediately, ushering in “the golden age of America.”

The audience included some of the nation’s most powerful tech titans, who have moved to embrace Trump since his victory, with Musk, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg and Apple CEO Tim Cook. Musk with fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to head the Department of Government efficiency. Biden and former vice president Kamala Harris, sat stone-faced  with former president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. Trump chatted with former President Barack Obama.

    If Trump wants to menace the Mexicans who are menacing the USA thats one way forward. But would it actually be better if the USA worked with the Mexican Government to try and improve Mexico so that less of them want to cross illegal borders to live in the USA? I hope his new presidency goes well for the USA and all the world:- he seems fit and up to the “job”. He is charismatic and opinionated and “Make America Great Again” is a slogan which could possibly be replaced with a strategy statement on what is going to be done to make America Great Again? Personality should join up with politics and a programme of what will be worked on in the future to improve peoples’ lives. Peace. Aymen.

  2. I’m not a Republican or a Democrat. A Republican neighbor explained to me that the Democratic Party has a plan to take away the ability of people to own private property. If this were true, Democrats would have three people in Congress. A local tells me how immigrants get a $100,000/year grant when they arrive which transfers to survivors if they die. “What agency administers the payments?” I ask. “State Department? HHS?” Blank stare. They “know” it’s “true” but can’t tell me a single fact about how it works. A Trump supporter explains to me a re-hash of the old welfare Cadillac fiction where people game the system to get vast payments. I want to ask the storyteller if they have ever applied for welfare. I bite my tongue instead. These same people complain they are being “talked down to” by those who dislike the President’s performance.
