Will you tune in to see how Trump begins his administration tomorrow? What do you expect from his speech, which is rumored to be self-written? Uniting the country? Tough on enemies?

Some/many of you may be too young to have voted, some may not even care, but kind of curious whether people will tune in to see how the next four years begins.

I've never been one for speeches, especially from politicians. It's all fluff and propaganda. I'll read the highlights of what he says, see if any new promises are made or old ones are broken, then wait to see actual results.

Though it'll probably be on the kitchen TV so I might catch glimpses of it. I'm curious to see if any fuss will be kicked up by protesters or (god forbid) terrorists/attempted assassins.

I might watch some of it. I've never really watched an inaugural address before so might as well.

I might have watched a little bit of Obama's in '08 but idr

If I do watch it, it will be to watch my university's amazing marching band perform during the inauguration. As for the rest of it? Nope. I see more than enough of Trump's face on TV already.

I'm just curious as to whether anyone will actually know who 3 doors down are
That brings back memories. Anyone who enjoyed music from the early 2000s will at least remember who they are, probably. I didn't even realize they were still around though.

Any American who at all cares about the future of their country should be watching this. The "not my president!!!!!!" nonsense is a) objectively wrong and b) the opposite of helpful. If you have an issue with something, the first thing you should do is learn about it and what it means (i.e. listen to Trump and his plans) and then, if you still have the issue, you're in a better and more informed place to do something about it. Don't bury your heads in the sand because you're unhappy with the result. If you have an issue with Trump, it's your responsibility to follow his presidency closely, imo to an even greater extent than his own supporters.

You could do that or you could go out onto Washington streets and smash stuff.

Edit - Bloody hell, Donald. You already won, you can stop promising this stuff now.

Most of the people who get sick to their stomach from thinking about the carrot man already know his intentions. Anti-Trumps followers aren't uneducated about him and the whole situation (at least, most aren't.) And I'm definitely going to see what crap he says. I just know that most of it is going to be "blah, make America great again, blah, Russia, blah, Muslims, blah, I'm the greatest." I'm just going to watch the recaps, so I can cut out the propaganda nonsense and hear the actual valid things he says.

Plus, it drives me insane when many of the same people who get annoyed about "not my president" are also the ones who have been screaming "Impeach the Muslim leader Obama!" for the past eight years. Not accusing you of that or anything silly like that, just a thought.

Regardless, I hope that the country can find a little unity in the future. Because I doubt that unity will be today's theme.

So it's basically over now, or at least the important part is.

Pretty much what his speech was about what I believe was a core message in his campaign: that for some time now the American people have basically been completely screwed over by the government and the 1%, who don't seem to ever be working towards actual solutions for anything and have forgotten that a nation is meant to serve its people, that America has become overly interested in other countries at the expense of itself, and that the country needs to unite and people need to understand that at the end of the day we're all human beings.

All of those things are true, and honestly, regardless of what you think of the man or any of the political parties or anything about this country really, not a bad message at all. There were a few specific things said that I did not agree with, like the stuff about American industry and factories, or all the Christian references, but it's not like I was expecting to agree with everything he was gonna say anyway.

But now the question is, can he actually deliver? Does he even believe half of what he says? What about other potential issues regarding Trump (y'know, like the racism and sexism stuff)? Are we really heading towards a great new America, or hell on earth? Most people already feel they know the answers to those questions, but now we'll see if it plays out that way or what.

Also, yes, he did say his slogan.

p.s. I'm not a Trump supporter just in case you thought that cuz I'm sure somebody would think that for some reason
