Trump sounded more like a Progressive Democrat than a Republican during his Inauguration

[Cal33]

Speech. I was more than surprised. Well, he has shown to be unpredictable so far. He
has also spoken about not electing politicians who are all talk but no action. I sure hope
he will do what he can to keep his promises.

The Corporate Power people might not like his speech. Donald could possibly be the
type of person to ignore them.

I couldn't have been more surprised! We'll have to wait and see what will happen in
the coming months!

Good luck to all of us!

1. WHAT???!!!

What speech were you watching? Not what I'm hearing from everyone else here!

[Union Label]

7. My thoughts were the very same

I dont think that the op watched the same hate speach.

[Cal33]

18. I am referring to the speech he made right after becoming the 45th President.

Didn't you see him?Of course some of the things he
said could be taken in different ways. That can happen
to any spee

[JTFrog]

23. See ya. nt

[Crunchy Frog]

36. Maybe they're posting from Parallel Earth.

Anyway, looks like they just bit the dust in this version of reality.

[SamKnause]

2. Are you serious ???

[JTFrog]

3. Fuck that.

Must be good kool-aid.

What a fucking joke.

[moda253]

4. The fuck you talking about?

[RelativelyJones]

5. WTF?

[panader0]

6. Are you lost?

[JTFrog]

12. I expect to see many drop the pretenses today. nt

[joshcryer]

44. I hope so, we need a house cleaning.

[JTFrog]

50. You can say that again. nt

[NightWatcher]

8. That was a Nationalistic Orgy of Monotheism and World Domination

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Step away from the bong.

[SammyWinstonJack]

39. Pot wouldn't have that effect.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

40. Yeah, maybe it was windowpane acid.

[Dem2]

10. Pass it Humphrey!

here is the full speech

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. You mean the part about America being a crime , drug, and gang infested hell hole.

Maybe you thought he was talking about someone else or more frightening you thought he wasn't.

[joshcryer]

22. That's obviously what they're talking about.

Where he acted as if he was going to help the impoverished. No, that was his starting of the blame wars. All things that go downhill from here on out will be blamed on minorities and the poor. All things.

[world wide wally]

14. Don't you know the two most meaningless words in the English language?

"Trump said..."

[joshcryer]

15. JPR is that way -

[JTFrog]

19. + eleventy billion nt

[etherealtruth]

16. ????????

Did you listen to the speech?

It was the most divisive speech at an inauguration I have ever heard (or heard of). He made it quite clear that he is only there for his supporters and NO ONE ELSE

WTF?

[JHan]

17. "the Corporate Power people might not like his speech"....

Are you trolling?

[uponit7771]

21. +1

[Blue_Tires]

20. Trolling level: 9.9/10

[JHan]

24. sadly, I gotta hand it to them... I agree... solid 9.9

[muriel_volestrangler]

27. No, a mark that high needs them to survive the jump

[JTFrog]

34. Lol. nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. "They see me trollin'... they hatin'..."

[Spider Jerusalem]

25. WTF are you talking about?

Do you even know what "progressive" means? Helpful hint: it's not talking about "gangs and violence" when the crime rate is the lowest it's been in 50 years, or saying "we're going to take our borders back". If you think anything Trump said sounded like "a progressive Democrat", you're mistaken; if you agreed with any of it, you're probably in the wrong party.

[struggle4progress]

26. .

[JTFrog]

29. PPR'd post-haste! Excellent. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

30. If I were you I would think about deleting this thread.

[JTFrog]

32. Probably can't now that he's PPR'd. nt

[Sissyk]

31. I see you have left the building.

Bye bye!

[highplainsdem]

33. Could you be more insulting to progressive Democrats?

[cynatnite]

35. More like Hitler-esque. n/t

[hollowdweller]

37. There were good elements.

However the extreme nationalisim, the talk of blood of patriots, the picture of the country that is really improving as some sort of crime ridden hellhole echoes some themes in disturbing points of history.

If Trump really feels the country now is a hellhole at low crime, millions insured, wages rising, unemployment under 5%, #1 I'm not sure he can reach the bar he has set for himself. #2 I'm not sure his supporters can be convinced it's better if he improves it even a little.

[JHan]

52. which good elements? The speech was bullshit from start to finish.

[cilla4progress]

38. honestly

i think some of us are losing our minds. i know i am ...

[RedWedge]

41. lolllllllllllll

[spanone]

42. bwahahahahahaaa....drinking game...you lost

[pnwmom]

43. The rule with DT: go by what he DOES, never by what he SAYS. nt

[mindfulNJ]

45. Ummm

Did you forget to add the sarcasm emoji?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

46. ...

[BumRushDaShow]

47. Wow

8 year DUer with 7000+ posts given the pizza!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

49. With a 100% rating.

[fescuerescue]

59. 99.99% now

And that is impure.

[FSogol]

48. That says more about you than it does Trump. So long! PPR guy

[riderinthestorm]

51. No. Just hell no. Not surprised you're already TSd. nt

[Ken Burch]

53. He seems to model himself both on Putin and Juan Peron.

Each of whom had the capacity to sound right wing OR left wing when tacking either way served his purposes.

[ornotna]

54. Absolute bullshit

Unrec

[sammythecat]

56. Tombstoned for this!

I know nothing of Cal33's posting history but I really don't see what brought out all this bile and even a ban. So he heard some things that didn't sound frightening and he said so, what the hell is wrong with that. I'm absolutely no fan of Trump. He attracts the continued love and support of the worst among us. The very worst. Trump promised heaven on earth for everybody and, while I don't, for a second, believe that, I can't hate on somebody because they're gullible or find a glimmer of possible hope when they hear some insincere hyperbole and then post their thoughts. For the record, I found his speech to be insulting.

[JHan]

57. Yes, contradictory BS rhetoric with Euro-Christian-Nationalistic overtones sounds really progressive

As some one else said, sane progressive democrats would be insulted.

[fescuerescue]

58. One cannot give collaboraters any space

There is just to much at stake.
