Let the crazy begin.

“It’s action, not words, that count, and you’re going to see a lot of action," Trump said.

That will be a change. Because there was precious little action last time.

7 ( +23 / -16 )

Let's just hope there is still an America to swear in the 48th president.

7 ( +29 / -22 )

After all the lawfare and media bias against him, American democracy prevailed. Alls well that ends well.

-10 ( +18 / -28 )

Do your best for your plutocracy mate and don’t worry about nutter leftists. All fart and not go. The world autocracy is against your stupidly but just do your best. Who cares about those when they hate you and do there best to bring you. You do a great job of that yourself. So enjoy the power that idiocy crowd have trusted you with. Keep dodging those bullets because there will be plenty more. God save the rest of the world.

It was amazing to see this type of event live on TV. They showed it live in every country. You can see why he was elected as President. The crowd was happy and all Americans are walking a lot taller today.

-13 ( +13 / -26 )

It's funny, in 2016 it just seemed completely ludicrous that Donal Trump would be elected President of the US. It was comedic, a farce. Beyond ridiculous..

In 2025, it seems about right for the US.

Cue 4 years of unhinged headlines and unfettered nonsense.

Thanks very much, the people of America....

It was amazing to see this type of event live on TV. They showed it live in every country. You can see why he was elected as President. The crowd was happy and all Americans are walking a lot taller today.

The "crowd" was invited MAGAs and people who had to be there.

Order to withdraw the US from the Paris climate agreement is a first big mistake. , and it’s gonna be many from him

10 ( +23 / -13 )

Apparently, Trump couldn't even be bothered to put his hand on thr Bible when he was sworn in. Not that anybody expected him to take his oath seriously, anyway.

12 ( +24 / -12 )

All the tech titans in the front row.

The little people finally have their rightfully prominent place in government!

5 ( +14 / -9 )

Very excited to see the US get back on the course that the majority of us desire: secure our borders; get the Federal government out of our schools (and PTA mtgs); go back to a two-gender country; deport criminals in the country illegally; support our law enforcement and let them do their jobs; end "lawfare"; become energy independent; stay out of International conflicts unless we or close allies are threatened. The list could go on and on.

I believe Trump will be a better president this term than he would have if he'd gone straight from #45 to #46. With all he's been through over the last 4 years, he's learned a lot and worked on his agenda and solidified his supporters.

-6 ( +12 / -18 )

Photo 3 at the bottom sums up the mood in a nutshell:

Welcome back, Mr President!

-13 ( +9 / -22 )

This is just beyond fantastic, the nightmare is over and so it begins, the border will be completely and illegals are out on notice so it’s happening all in real time. So happy!

get the Federal government out of our schools (and PTA mtgs);

This will never happen. He who pays the piper calls the tune and states pay for education.

go back to a two-gender country;

Also will never happen. Proclamations on Trump's understanding of biology have no legal value.

support our law enforcement and let them do their jobs; end "lawfare";

IOW, carry on as before.

stay out of International conflicts unless we or close allies are threatened.

Close allies are threatened in Eastern Europe.

I’m happy he did leave, finally.

He didn’t last time, and in the end, he won’t.

Anyway, that banter won’t help the left, if Dems wants to win another election, they can’t do what they did that got them booted in the first place.

and now begins the biggest grift in history.

no more elections for trump. he’s going to go full scam mode because it doesn’t matter anymore.

he refused to sign the financial ethics documents that presidents sign before taking office.

his pocket supreme court essentially nullified the emoluments clause of the constitution by saying he has total and complete immunity in office.

his and melania’s crap meme coins, with the fingerprints of musk all over them, will suck more money out his maga cult followers than all of the other grifts in total. the top people in crypto are saying it is such a blatant con that it can destroy crypto. the terms of the coins are the most horrific ever written.

Very true sir, we’ll provide him a nice couch.

Nice

President Musk will ensure that!!!

No, but the Dems will have to see if they want to run on the same policies that made them almost extinct as a party or moving forward and just using common sense policies to address the average Americans then perhaps, now, it doesn’t seem like it.

Oh, please! Lol

no more elections for trump. he’s going to go full scam mode because it doesn’t matter anymore.

Hope so

he refused to sign the financial ethics documents that presidents sign before taking office.

Biden preemptively pardoned his family

his pocket supreme court essentially nullified the emoluments clause of the constitution by saying he has total and complete immunity in office.

The last 8 of the 11 SC justices cases went the lefts way, so that means, it’s not going Trump’s way.

his and melania’s crap meme coins, with the fingerprints of musk all over them, will suck more money out his maga cult followers than all of the other grifts in total. the top people in crypto are saying it is such a blatant con that it can destroy crypto. the terms of the coins are the most horrific ever written.

Trump sworn in as 47th president, emboldened to reshape American institutions

The only thing he will "embolden" are the felons, pervs, and tech billionaires who will shaft the MAGA little guy on their way to fattening their wallets...

it's already started even before he was inaugurated - he threw all his 'America-firsters" under the bus and sided with his billionaire donors to INCREASE immigration - taking jobs away from Americans...

Just like his previous four years, he'll protect and serve the uber-wealthy and stick it to the masses...

You're going to get what you voted for MAGA-friends - the shaft...

Ok, so Blacks and Latinos that essentially pulled him over the finish line are racists? Wow! And let’s not forget Trump appointed more women than men in his inner cabinet. So as to how he’s racist and sexist is a bit befuddling

It's a beautiful thing. Great cabinet. Great agenda. Make the world great! Get the warmongers out! Peace and prosperity to all! God Bless America!

Donald Trump lost 2020, Joe Biden rightfully became US President 46.

November 5th 2024, Donald Trump historically regained the White House, the US Presidency.

The Democrats must move on, they deserved to lose.

However, in 4 years all bets could well be off.

6 ( +9 / -3 )

The only reason why this happened is because racism and sexism teamed up together

It is because Democrats allowed the US to stagante, pandering to tiny minority groups rather than tackling more fundamental issues like the cost of living crisis. Democrats have themselves to blame.

If Democrats are "lucky" Trump will be unable to fulfil his promises in the next 4 years. On the other hand, if he does manage to deliver I think you might see the first ever third term president.

The irony will be lost on his supporters.... all standing out in the freezing cold cos Trumple thinskin doesn't ant to face a city with barely 70% hotel occupancy.

His friends are not wealth creators; they are wealth hoarders. It's trickle UP economics.

And at least 4 dark years ahead, because if Americans think they're going to have another Presidetial election again, they're out of their minds.

"Donald Trump appeared to forget to place his hand on a stack of Bibles held by his wife Melania Trump as he was sworn into office on Monday."

Amazing how, a few short weeks ago, we were treated to an onslaught of media and leftist politicians belaboring the point about how fascism is coming, how The Donald will be Hitler 2.0. etc. Yet now, here we are. Everyone is playing nice, congratulating the victor, behaving with decorum. I guess that is all the evidence we need that the public was being gaslit for months about the danger we faced if Trump were to win.

President Trump has set his Presidency some very challenging tasks,

Two wars, both yet to be fully resolved.

Ukraine could well present the most urgent diplomacy headache.

Putin is foaming at the mouth.

Europe pollical belly button gazing between a liberal centre left, with an opposing populist right.

Economies in chaos.

This Trump will insist EU/UK etc contribute more to a Nato security commitment.

Climate change is another bone of contention,.

Before a potential trade war.

All could erupt in the first 200 days. .

The nightmare has begun.. The persecution against civil liberties and minorities will not relent.. Democracy is dead in the U.S..

I assure you that Trump will come with more violence, belligerence and fascism, he will be more extremist and the result will be that inevitably in 4 years the next president of the US will be again a Democrat..

Biggest circUS of the world 2.0 has begun, you elect a clown and you get a circus..

Trump signed an order to end birthright citizenship that is guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. That will be challenged in the courts.

I doubt it, for starters, the Dems don't have the leadership, nor message and they lost a big chunk of their core constituencies

Congratulations, US! A 4 year nightmare is over. I was worried til the last moment that the deep state would try another JFK event.

And right on cue, "Shadow" President Musk gave us a preview of what is coming....

"Right-wing extremists, white nationalists, and neo-Nazis are celebrating an alarming gesture made by the world's richest man."

"At a post-inauguration rally Monday, Elon Musk thanked Donald Trump's supporters with a gesture that resembled a Nazi salute, first putting his palm to his chest and then extending a stiff right arm toward the crowd, at a slight elevation and with his palm down. It wasn't a one-off. He later repeated the gesture."

The world doesnt revolve around America

Certainly doesnt revolve around a phony liar and felon.

Credible people from the last Trump admin described him as a "fascist " and a "moron "

He has stacked his surrounding people with yes men out to make a profit.

I,m not saying Trump is the devil, but he is the closest thing to it politics can throw up.

My prediction?

Lots of broken promises, lots of excuses and lots of disappointed Americans.

Here is the list of executive orders President Trump signed day one! It’s wonderful to see

Pardons and commutations that Trump said would cover about 1,500 people criminally charged in the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021

Overhauling the refugee admission program to better align with American principles and interests

Declaring a “national emergency” at the U.S.-Mexico border

Directive ending "the weaponization of political adversaries of the previous administration"

Designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations

Directive ordering the restoration of freedom of speech and preventing government censorship of speech

Withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement

Directive to federal agencies to address the cost of living crisis

Requirement that federal workers return to full-time in-person work

Federal hiring freezes - except in military and other excluded categories

Regulatory freeze "preventing bureaucrats from issuing any more regulations" until Trump has full control of the government.

Rescission of 78 Biden-era executive executive actions, executive orders, presidential memoranda and others.

why wasn't MAGA-guru Steve Bannon at the inauguration?

was it necessary for him to be? Did you miss him? You didn’t seem to care about him this much when he was falsely put in prison.

-4 ( +4 / -8 )

Even pardoned the violent January 6 insurrectionists. Which he said he wouldn't do.

I'm sure our MAGA friends are loving that anyway.

Trump answering more press questions in last 30 mins on every topic than Biden did in 4 years.

Depends on your definition of "answer." Even when reporters toss him softball questions, most of Trump's remarks come across as incoherent babbling.

I like Melania’s hat.

He has also promised retribution against his political opponents and critics

Apparently, the person who signed off on this article did not listen to President Trump’s speech because Trump said he would do the exact opposite of retribution.

why wasn't MAGA-guru Steve Bannon at the inauguration?

was it necessary for him to be?

Because he's a MAGA-hero, isn't he? Or is he now "Mike Pence"?

Did you miss him?

The way he dresses? Not really...

You didn’t seem to care about him this much when he was falsely put in prison.

Because that's where he belonged...

Is it because he called Musk "evil" and Trump a "sell-out"?

Yeah the United States of America. I bet by 3 years the United will be no more. It has already started years ago in Texas when they were brought out by the Jewish lobby. In 2017 Texas floods relief were restricted to those USAmerican if you refuse to support Israel yes Israel not the USA. Bloody Israel. California GDP is the 5 th biggest in the world and sessions is a big likely When Trump Republican senators refuse any assistance funds to recover from the LA fires. To rebuild it will need China imports and I can not see Californians put up with tariff on the building materials that will have come from China. This is going cause a political storm and Trump will not back down to any State that is woke leftist / Démocrates dominated.

Even pardoned the violent January 6 insurrectionists.

You mean, rioters.

Biden said he would not stop the building of Trump's wall, and look what happened....

I'm sure our MAGA friends are loving that anyway.

Yes

Trump scares me and I believe he’s highly unqualified for the job, but I wish him well and hope he does a good job for the country and the world.

-2 ( +4 / -6 )

The endless pardons handed out by both Biden and Trump are a stain on the US - as if it needs any more.

At least one the violent rioters - Ashli Babbitt - didn't need a pardon from Trump. She was dealt with rather effectively. I believe she was, however, awarded a Darwin Award.

I seem to have woken up in a parallel universe this morning. A president who can actually talk and answer questions from reporters. Is this real or am I still dreaming?

where is Trump Retribution against his enemies,

His success will be his revenge

do you think a Federal judge will personally rebuke Trump.

Who knows?

Fightoo, pardon cannot be issued against a lawsuit,since Airforce One is use by a Convict, should it be name Con Air

I listened to President Trump’s entire inauguration speech. Absolutely amazing! Hands down the most powerful and presidential inauguration speech ever given. I couldn’t be more excited and hopeful for the future of the USA and the world.

It was amazing to see this type of event live on TV. They showed it live in every country. You can see why he was elected as President. The crowd was happy and all Americans are walking a lot taller today.

The "crowd" was invited MAGAs and people who had to be there.

Toadies, yes-men, lackeys.

I didn't watch it and had no desire to. I could've gone to any home in my neighborhood if I wanted to see a baby soil his diddies.

'Reshape'? As in reestablish an ugly personality cult. Look how he's puckering his lips, ready to kiss Putin's and/or Muskrat's fannies again.

And what 'Bible' did he lay his hand on, not that he really respects it anyway. Oh I know, a 'Trump Bible' like the ones he and that ninny Lee Greenwood were pushing last year.

The executive orders are the first step in what Trump calls “the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense."

A totalitarian 'New Order'.

Toadies, yes-men, lackeys. 

You serve at the pleasure of the President, so that means, all staff are lackeys.

I didn't watch it and had no desire to. I could've gone to any home in my neighborhood if I wanted to see a baby soil his diddies. 

I watched it, was the best thing ever, got my eyes a bit misty.

'Reshape'? As in reestablish an ugly personality cult. Look how he's puckering his lips, ready to kiss Putin's and/or Muskrat's fannies again. 

No, reshape as in, eliminating the swamp once and for all and ending wokeness. over 200 executive orders signed today.

And what 'Bible' did he lay his hand on, not that he really respects it anyway. Oh I know, a 'Trump Bible' like the ones he and that ninny Lee Greenwood were pushing last year. 

No one cares, other than he is the next President and by the way, since when are liberals now religiously concerned?

A totalitarian 'New Order'.

That works for the people since they voted for this.

You can make that argument about many nations, slavery used to be normal, but are we continuing the practice? No.

Only took 10 billionaires contributing 44% of his campaign funds to get him over the finish line.

I'm sure they're laughing their way to the bank right at this moment. They're the real winners tonight.

Hopefully Trump has the right people in place to fix America's math efficiency. Saying 75 million is half of 345 million is quite troubling.

By doing a Nazi like salute, Musk has lost billions from his bank account.

Your media focusing on the important news like they promised I se

Let see in a few years how Tesla has not managed to increase sales except within the US maybe.

This gesture is enough to avoid any business with this guy.

“As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female,” Trump said in his speech.

One of the best declarations ever - finally a reaffirmation of BIOLOGICAL REALITY and the end of the woke insanity that's been confusing kids and undermining BASIC TRUTHS. Whatever one thinks of The Donald, it's refreshing to see a leader willing to stand up for common sense values and resist the ideological chaos that's been running rampant.

One Flag, Two Sexes, One Country and united against the woke mind virus.

Trump said he would lead a government that “expands our territory,” a reference to his goals of acquiring Greenland from Denmark and restoring U.S. control of the Panama Canal.

Pathetic psycho clown..

Well done to the Don. As the world continues to reject the progressive agenda American follows suit. Hopefully this sparks the beginning of decent economic turnaround globally and a final nail in the coffin for the woke.
