Trump Inauguration and Martin Luther King Memorial Day

Millie22

Obama's wife should have been there. I wonder if he considered taking someone else or didn't mind walking in on his own.

Melania looked very classy as she always does.

oh yes, so much more important than a sppech full of vengeance on the rest of the world, and threats of expansion. But her hat was nice- hurrah.

and so much more important than huge threats to the environment, the environment of our grandchildren, as long as that hat was nice.

I’ve got a wonderful feeling, everything's going Trump’s way…

Well there is nothing beautiful about a convicted felon being elected President . Surrounded by billionaire tech bros . No average Joe ‘s in attendance and if you didn’t notice a sea of white people . A travesty on Martin Luther Kings day . Nope nothing to celebrate here ! A day of shame , really !

J D Vance’s wife is an Indian Hindhu.

I think Melania chose her hat very carefully. The brim was deliberately wide to Donald couldn't get near enough to plant that kiss!

Did you not get the part that Michelle was not going to grace her presence towards a man who is taking away women’s rights and who has been vulgar beyond belief towards her family ? Good for her for showing the class to not dignify this occasion by attending .

Well she was there and Obama by necessity but did you have a look at the rest of the VIPs there ? Says it all !!!

Relevance? Were Hindus ever slaves in the USA?

I was just pointing out that there were faces other than white in the inauguration.

Your sea of white people was inaccurate.

Care to state a percentage of non-whites in the room?

I'd estimate not more than 2%. Description of sea of white not far off!

My first link was from Fox News. Certainly not liberal now is it?

I had a very good look around and there’s nothing wrong with my eyesight . It was a sea of white !

Why does the world and his wife have to be so close to the action?

Bringing on the VP’s children, Mrs Vance had to pick up the thumb sucking daughter, bet she was heavy as she soon put her back down so she could gaze adoringly at her DH as he was sworn in.

Donald was half way through his oath before Melania could get near him with the Bible, there were so many family members pushing to get to the front.

Not necessary, it looked a real scrum,

Sea of white = and on they go with their divisive identity politics - its working brilliantly in terms of winning elections I must say.

So did anybody see Trump addressing some of his followers off the cuff where he went on a deranged talk about how much her feet ached and she was not going to be able to stand much longer ( poor dear ! ) Completely Wacko !! Also to note : former VP ‘s Pence wife was also not in attendance . His off the teleprompter talk was very unhinged … no surprise there !!!

My point was, in case you did not understand , was there were hardly any people of color !
If you see nothing wrong with that then you really are from a different era . I will remind you Trump won but just with a 1.5 percent advantage . He will get push back .

But not yet. Push back will of course come in 2026.
But for now? It’s Trump’s first 100 days and it’ll be stellar!

Stellar fried green!

Calling me names doesnt work Syracute. Instead of diving deeper into the identity politics which failed them the Democrats might be better looking at why they lost to a man such as Trump. There is no sign of that happening at the moment.

Somebody’s not thinking straight . Things do not happen that quickly . Trump has already backed down on bringing the price of eggs ( groceries ) down !
