Letters from Trump’s Inaugural Address

The Topic: President Trump’s speech at the Capitol during the inauguration on Monday.

Various commentators have deemed President Trump’s inaugural speech as inappropriate and awkward, particularly as he criticized Joe Biden’s tenure while Biden listened from the front row (“The Inauguration,” Jan. 21).

In typical scenarios, such remarks could be considered out of line.

Nonetheless, I cannot recall any other candidate facing as much hostility as Trump from multiple fronts.

Trump pointed out the government’s weaponization against him.

Was his assertion inaccurate?

I think not.

He was right to outline, one by one, the policy missteps of the Biden administration.

I gave him a free pass on every statement he made.

I have yet to witness a more organized swearing-in ceremony than President Trump’s second inauguration.

It was executed tastefully and was essential for the global audience.

Trump demonstrated profound respect for the outgoing administration, articulating his points with dignity.

May God bless him and keep him safe as he embarks on a new chapter of peace and prosperity.

Trump’s interpretations of “peacemaker” and “unifier” starkly contrast with my own.

I find it hard to fathom that claiming the Panama Canal, particularly with a hint of coercion, aligns with the definition of a “peacemaker.”

In which reality is it considered “unifying” to alienate whole communities, including immigrants and transgender individuals?

Trump’s second inaugural speech ranks as hypocritical at best and un-American at worst.

But then again, what else can we expect?

“Liberation” accurately captures the atmosphere of the inauguration.

It marked the revival of our nation’s core principles and priorities, while casting aside Biden’s tenure that constricted our country.

I’m relieved that individuals across various sectors, from judicial to educational to law enforcement, can now act without the dread of job insecurity and public backlash for opposing the Biden agenda.

Moreover, it’s heartening to see that media outlets will refocus on journalistic integrity and factual reporting, rather than opinion-driven narratives.

Trump’s inauguration festivities stand as a prime instance of Washington’s tendency to squander resources on itself.

What should have been a straightforward and efficient event resembled a Hollywood awards show. It perfectly illustrates how the elite perceive themselves as superior to the masses.

This does not bode well for Trump’s new term.

It also raises concerns for the upcoming years.

We should brace ourselves for potential letdowns.

The American populace has made it abundantly clear that they reject identity politics and the culture wars that the left has engaged in over the past few years.

They oppose censorship, the politicization of the justice system, and the government’s failure to enforce laws and safeguard our citizens.

They are against DEI and the moves to undermine the equity that has long been our strength.

I’ll admit that my faith and hope in America were waning.

Yet, I now see that while we may have strayed, we are strong once again.

At 12:01 p.m. on Jan. 20, a massive burden was lifted from the shoulders of Americans as President Trump took the oath of office in the Capitol.

I experienced joy, happiness, and relief that we finally moved on from the dysfunctional Biden administration that had plagued the American people for four years.

Trump’s uplifting and unifying address undoubtedly caused discomfort for Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris during its initial moments.

I hope we can quickly restore a safe and thriving United States of America.

We certainly deserve it after the tumultuous four years of the previous administration.
