Today is a sad day for the USA. It represents a temporary win of greed, racism, sexism and xenophobia over all reasonable moral, democratic, and patriotic values.
Trump pledges unity in inaugural address by immediately attacking fellow Americans | Opinion
The longtime con artist – convicted of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records – stood in the Capitol rotunda and inaccurately claimed: 'The golden age of America begins right now.'

An elderly and unpopular felon who narrowly won the popular vote in the 2024 election was sworn in as president of the United States in a tiny ceremony Monday, held indoors because it was slightly chilly outside.
Donald J. Trump, who refused to participate in the peaceful transfer of power when he last left office and fomented a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol for which he was never held accountable, swore to protect America from enemies, foreign and domestic, while somehow managing to not laugh at the suckers who just returned him to power.
Wholly disregarding nearly half of American voters who strongly opposed and feared his candidacy, Trump harnessed the power of unbridled narcissism to keep a straight face while hilariously saying: "For American citizens, January 20, 2025, is liberation day."
