Trump Inauguration and Martin Luther King Memorial Day

A microcosm of US business - Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos standing together. They probably represent a demonstrable percentage of world wealth.

And it's estimated that 11% of the US population live on or below the poverty line.

It's a funny old world.

Is that the best tenor they can come up with?

The better one probably voted Democrat so wouldn’t perform.

So that’s why Melania’s wearing that hat! 😂😂

Obama arrived solo. Starmer and Lammy probably sent a card from Moonpig.

Merlotgran exactly what we said.

Compare 200 executive orders on day 1 to get the USA functioning again as opposed to our UK governments spiteful and business regressive day 1 initiatives combined with lengthy reviews to decide on obvious issues like care and the NHS they moaned about for 14 years in opposition.

Trump is up and running.

What a day for the USA - no more men in women’s sports or private spaces, no more workery in government or the armed forces, no more four star generals dressing up as women and making America a laughing stock. No more DEI, no more self destructive green energy nonsense - and lots more liquid gold to power their economy. Boy am I envious…bigly.

I left the USA for good reason and am very happy to be away as women’s rights are being whittled away , books are being banned etc . Trump can sign 200 sheets of paper but do you think he is actually reading them ? They would also have to go through the Congress and Senate . We operate in a democracy not an autocracy !

Some of Trumps proposed executive orders are unconstitutional.

He is currently laundering money through bitcoin.

Republicans are doing everything they can to push people farther into poverty by taking away their social safety nets. Lowering unemployment, taking away overtime payment rules, busting unions.

Pregnant women are dying because they can't get the medical care they need. There are several states who want to charge women with murder for having an abortion, and include the death penalty for it.

The right to gay marriage is about to be overturned.

This is what the UK wants when the US sneezes?

What type of person, I wonder, would be excited about groups of people losing rights? But hey, let's round up the brown people are put them into camps. Because nothing like that has ever happened in the world before. I wonder how not could possibly turn out for them?

Why are so many people needed for this occasion. Bea 65 yes I did notice the lady in the white jacket and corset , thought it was Megan Macklemore at first !! She obviously wanted to be noticed. ,

Macklemore ?? Where did that come from. Of course I meant Markle. The Americans can’t do pomp like we do !!!

Blimey Claremont it was a J-O-K-E! 😁

That person is Bezos’s squeeze who doesn’t know what decorum is !

That music makes me think John Wayne should be riding in with his platoon 🐎

If you don’t look at it it sounds like a Disney film. Well tbh even if you do look at it 😄😄

Well Done Donald, You’re In.

No idea where you got that idea from , but, as Trump would say, "fake news."

Those people with their phones out ffs put them away.

Has anyone noticed the lady in white jacket sitting behind the podium wearing a white bra bassinet ..really.. where does she thinks she’s at??

That’s her usual look. She’s the fiancé of Jeff Bezos.

The choir was nice … Didn’t the Glory Glory sound like John Browns body ..

South Carolina is the first.

Texas already tried it back in 2022. Luckily, at the time, the laws did not allow it. The woman is now suing the state.

Try North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas just for starters - all with plans to bring in a law making abortion a death sentence.

Oh well I’m not surprised 😳..

Wow! Trump is really going for MAGA.

Himself just said “if I were sat amongst those Democrats to Trump’s left I’d have to grow a pair and walk out”. They must be squirming listening to Trump’s speech.
