Where was the vision? Where was the unity, of "We, the people"? Where was the attempt at bringing into the fold the majority who did not vote for Trump, a majority of 3 million people? Where was any sign of humility?
All we got was a rehashed stump speech, with over the top statements, like violence in inner cities stopping today. Really?
All we got was a dissing of EVERY former President on the podium, whether Republican or Democrat, plus congress.
All we got was bull baiting the rest of the world that they don't matter any more.
Trump will have a lot to learn. Let's hope his actions don't harm America, and that Congress constrains him. There are good people on both sides of the aisle that DO understand what it means to govern for all Americans.
Trump has given no indication he does.
He is still campaigning. (Waiting for the tweet from him to anybody in the media who says it wasn't 'fantastic, terrific and tremendous'.)
I think the whole thing is rather boring this year. Still, I'm sure some of his supporters wanted to be present and they had a decent crowd, either way.
and you are basing the turnout on 2009 what about 2012? As for boring, I didn't find it a bit more boring than others. Have you ever attended one personally or paid much attention to them in the past? My guess is NO.
yes,we all knew this would an important topic to rear its head... b/c there is nothing else to talk about right? I'm still waiting on the "OMG Barron Trump looked so bored" thread
What did you expect? He's Trump so he's gonna act like Trump til the day he dies.
As much as I loathe the idea of him as president, I'm kinda glad the inauguration is over. Now he can start making an ass of himself 24/7. The more people see of him, the less they'll like him.
Yeah, right...the crowds coming for Obama weren't spit on, threatened, beat up, their products weren't boycotted, their heads bashed with rocks, eggs thrown on them, their jobs threatened. Entrances to the mall weren't closed because of BLM violence and Trump supporters not allowed in.
It's amazing how many brave souls showed up in spite of all the time and money democrats used to prevent a good showing and disrupt the inauguration.

You aren't going to give him a chance. For whatever reason you made up your mind that Trump will not work for America. What happens if you're wrong and it does work? Remember how so many have been so wrong this election. Nobody gave him a chance in the beginning. Many wrote him off and thought that his campaign was a joke. Some learned that they lost or they were wrong and they moved on; others have not.
I was a Democrat most of my life. I was also a Independent for many years. You have to know how to cut your losses. Show us one credible Independent candidate for 2020. Right now the Democrats have no credible candidate for 2020 - if they are smart they will acknowledge their faults and then move on (but they never will).
I don't have to give him a chance, fisheye. That's the beauty of it. He has the job, whether I want him to have it or not.
If he does good, I will acknowledge it. I am not part of any political party. I never wrote him off as a joke. I always knew he might win this election.
I do not like him and I know that won't change. He's just too offensive to me. This does not mean I would deny him credit if any should ever be due.
I would not be unfair to him, even though I don't like him at all.
I think that the Democrats do indeed have some issues. I'd like to see third parties grow themselves, but they cannot seem to get their acts together, either.
So, I am and will remain an Independent.
