In response to this post #Trump also hails President McKinley, who got the #PanamaCanal going & fought the Spanish-American war. Trump is making it clear that he wants control of the canal back, & falsely claims that “#China is operating the Panama Canal.” He ends by saying “we’re taking it back.” #FactCheck #TrumpLies - #Panama operates the Panama Canal, though the ownership of ports at either side of the canal by a Hong Kong-based company has raised some security concerns.

In response to this post #Biden rests he chin on his left hand, one finger over his lips, as he hears his successor describe an America in decline & invoking the “Alien & Enemies Act of 1798” to justify his coming crackdowns. As #Trump disparages immigrants as criminals & outlines his plans — there are not “millions & millions of criminal aliens” as he claims — a largely white crowd is applauding in the Rotunda. #FactCheck #TrumpLies #immigration #law
#Trump uses his speech to declare that there “are only two genders: male and female,” according to government policy. That has to be a first for an inaugural speech. Trump declares that he will stop efforts to “socially engineer #race & #gender into every aspect of public & private life” & will instead “forge a society that is colorblind & merit-based.” (Yeah, right)

In response to this post #Trump repeated his claim, made countless times during the 2024 campaign, “many from prisons & mental institutions” had illegally entered the country through the southern border. He has offered no evidence for this. (I still think he doesn’t understand the meaning of “asylum seekers” he thinks they are people from insane asylums)
With his opening lines that “we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer,” #Trump plunges into a list of #grievances, describing America as a nation willing to spend “in the defense of foreign borders” — read: #Ukraine — “but refuses to defend American borders.” This is a redux of his 2017 “American Carnage” address: He describes America as a catastrophic mess of crime & chaos. He speaks of “annihilation” & disparages the current government — w/ #Biden sitting nearby.

#Trump is signing documents before the formal lunch at the Capitol, including one that said US flags should be flown at full staff on his & future inauguration days even if it otherwise interrupts a mourning period where the flag would be half staff; the flags were all at half staff mourning the passing of President #JimmyCarter. The prospect that flags would be at half staff as a sign of respect for the former President Carter pissed Trump off.
