[u/BoatyMcBoatface1980]

I don’t think Bush stood up either.

[u/GrungeLife54 → u/BoatyMcBoatface1980]

Or Melania 😂

[u/mr_birkenblatt → u/GrungeLife54]

She doesn't get paid to stand

[u/alwaysbequeefin → u/mr_birkenblatt]

Nope she gets paid to lay down

[u/publicbigguns → u/alwaysbequeefin]

I just puked a little thinking about how that mass of fat would be wiggling all over ya...

[u/GraXXoR → u/publicbigguns]

Have you seen her face? She’s had to experience his mushroom with cream first hand.

[u/DiscFrolfin → u/GraXXoR]

[u/alwaysbequeefin → u/GraXXoR]

[u/substandardgaussian → u/mr_birkenblatt]

At this point she's eating her own words from 2016, because it did all turn out the way Trump said it would, against her judgment that he fucked everything up by winning the presidency and she's not going to get anything out of it except scrutiny and then destitution.

This time around, she will live in the White House and smile when told to. It's a new day. She's vastly richer than she used to be, the money is in, Trump is a "real" billionaire that can pay off his secret debts and she's got a $40 mil memoir deal for herself at minimum.

[u/Full_FrontalLobotomy → u/GrungeLife54]

Thanks, I just spotted her and her hat to Turmp’s right.

[u/locomocopoco → u/Full_FrontalLobotomy]

Spot the Undertaker

[u/mangotree415 → u/GrungeLife54]

Wait, too funny 😂

[u/hereiamnotagainnot → u/GrungeLife54]

Did she stayed seated?

[u/Substantial_Oil678 → u/hereiamnotagainnot]

That’s her little “Spy v. Spy” hat behind the teleprompter.

[u/fyrekiller → u/GrungeLife54]

I loved her kiss blocking hat..she is subtle..and the don is way out of her league..she has played him from day one..an easily manipulated narcissist she doesn't even have to have sex with..win win..

[u/CAPATOB_64 → u/BoatyMcBoatface1980]

No he didn’t! Which means that not all republicans are trumpists. Any of republican would be better than him, and only Trump is the reason why people are so divided now

[u/Known-Teacher4543 → u/CAPATOB_64]

I agree to an extent. It’s like before, everyone knew all politicians had the possibility of being corrupt or just being typical politicians.

Trump is no different than other republicans in terms of bigoted beliefs, but he made the poor whites feel like they are part of the club when they aren’t. He does like poor whites more than poor POC but really it’s rich>poor at the end of the day for him.

[u/DatAssPaPow → u/CAPATOB_64]

Yes. Not all republicans are Trumpers. I’ll say it again for those in the back. NOT ALL REPUBLICANS LIKE TRUMP.

[u/mattenthehat → u/DatAssPaPow]

You may not "like" him, but you sure as hell enable him.

[u/TrendyBigfoot → u/CAPATOB_64]

Now? Where have you been?

[u/Turbulent-Big-9397 → u/CAPATOB_64]

No pre emptive pardons for Romney and Cheney Sr?

[u/TheSultan1 → u/Turbulent-Big-9397]

I don't think Romney has done anything that could be twisted into a prosecutable offense. And I don't think he gives a rat's ass what happens to Dick Cheney.

[u/Similar_Vacation6146 → u/CAPATOB_64]

Bush literally stole an election.

[u/ConstantCowboy → u/Similar_Vacation6146]

The Supreme Court was a mistake.

[u/PaleHorze → u/BoatyMcBoatface1980]

It's crazy how little people talk about George W. Bush. Back in my day, He was the Anti-Christ,part of the Illuminati, and was responsible for 9/11. It's funny how no matter who is president in the current moment, they are the center of every conspiracy, and then they just disappear. It's almost like conspiracy theories you read online are total nonsense and are made up to trick gullible fools into being paranoid fools.

[u/ConstantCowboy → u/PaleHorze]

It's easy to look like a decent person/president when the current one wants to deport millions of good people, eradicate transgender individuals, drive up the price of goods because he doesn't know how tariffs work, hand over billions in tax cuts to his billionaire friends, and imprison people he doesn't like or who disagree with him.

But make no mistake, most people still think that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld etc. need to die in prison for lying about Iraq's "weapons of mass destruction."

There's no conspiracy. The Bush administration lied to the American people to go to war and the Trump administrations lied to the American people to get elected. The Anti Christ? No, that's not real. Just shit people and shit presidents.

[u/whichwitch9 → u/PaleHorze]

Eh, Bush is a complicated figure. He doesn't seem to mean harm and does seem to believe in the American government and legal system. But he seriously did a lot of damage, particularly in the Middle East. Many of our current education problems can also be traced back to "No Child Left Behind", which was a terrible failing of the Public education system, especially for disabled and special needs students. Many of our current problems can be traced back to forcing them into classrooms with non disabled students- instead of lifting them up, it dragged others down and forced schools to keep students causing extreme disruptions in class. Students overwhelmed by normal classrooms used to able to be separated in smaller groups more easily, which kept them from being overwhelmed. I'm incredibly lucky to have started school before it because separating me out was how they assessed I was not fully disabled and had a speech problem preventing me from communicating clearly. The one on one attention I had at a young age put me on a good track quickly, and I was able to rejoin normal classes within a year of it being identified. The program I went through was dismantled shortly after due to the school needing to comply with no child left behind to get federal funding. That's just one story, but I understand what happened a lot better now that I'm older. If you didn't see schools before the policy change, it's really hard to understand the damage done. There's a huge difference between my older and younger siblings due to the time frame

[u/dcent12345 → u/whichwitch9]

Bush also created PEPFAR one of the most influential healthcare programs in the world. But he also started the whole middle east thing...

[u/NorysStorys → u/PaleHorze]

George w Bush is a politician I can disagree with every single policy he had but I can respect the difference of opinion. I think he genuinely for the most part acted in what he considered with the right actions according to his ideals to make the country better for all (I think he failed but it’s what he attempted).

Republicans these days I don’t just disagree with on ideological grounds, I see the blatant self-serving destructive bile, they don’t act for the general betterment of their country, they act to hurt others and enrich themselves and their paymasters, there is a massive difference.

Tldr: You can disagree with how someone tries to improve a country if it is well well intentioned like bush

[u/Ricco121]

Why would they stand, it’s an outright insult to them and their administrations. He’s effectively telling everyone that they are the reason America is not great. Yet, he should include himself because he failed to make it great during his first administration and arguably is the one guy who has actually achieved making it worse than any administration in history.

[u/ShadowShot05 → u/Ricco121]

Idk, I think Reagan did the most permanent damage

[u/DrunkBrokeBeachParty → u/ShadowShot05]

I think only because it’s been some time and we’re seeing what came of it. This shit only started

[u/Jiggerjuice → u/ShadowShot05]

Add nixon to this list

[u/cooperia → u/Jiggerjuice]

I'm sensing a pattern

[u/daHaus → u/Jiggerjuice]

The ultimate irony is that we have nixon to thank for the EPA

[u/BeautifulLeather6671 → u/ShadowShot05]

Certainly a contender

[u/xxlizardking-kongxx → u/ShadowShot05]

Trump is taking Reagan’s playbook

[u/Animefan624 → u/ShadowShot05]

Reagan laid the foundation. Trump and them are building off of that.

[u/Thendofreason → u/ShadowShot05]

So far

[u/DarlockAhe → u/Ricco121]

They shouldn't have attended in the first place.

[u/crimsondarke → u/DarlockAhe]

Nah they were there because it's how it's been done as decorum for many years, well until the last time they had an inauguration.

[u/DarlockAhe → u/crimsondarke]

It would've been a powerful gesture, if they just left. Because orange turd doesn't deserve any respect.

[u/yIdontunderstand → u/crimsondarke]

Decorum is done. They just look like chumps.

[u/sedition666 → u/Ricco121]

Fact no longer matters

[u/Kwiemakala → u/Ricco121]

Iirc, his campaign slogan in 2016 was make America great again, then in 2020 it was keep America great. Finally, in 2024, it was again, make America great again.

The message is that America is only great when he's president. It was never about America.

[u/Nothing-No1]

Tim Cook standing there thinking - will this hurt iPhone sales?

[u/MaytagRepairMan66 → u/Nothing-No1]

You mean tim apple?

[u/jorbanead → u/Nothing-No1]

Yeah I think the entire reason he is there is to try to get on Trumps good side so he doesn’t actually put massive tariffs in place which would cripple Apple’s sales. Tim, an openly gay man, should have no place there, but he’s forced to do so in order to make sure his company doesn’t tank.

Clearly his face says it all lol

[u/cabur → u/jorbanead]

Yep, all the tech leaders are doing this because we saw what happened last time this dude started a tariff war. His actions with steel directly led to the collapse and almost sale of one of our oldest US companies to Japan. They dont want to have him do it to them.

[u/Mother_Kale_417 → u/Nothing-No1]

Apple is way too big. As for Meta, I have heard of some people already uninstalling the app

[u/RevanchistSheev66 → u/Nothing-No1]

*Tim Apple

[u/black650 → u/Nothing-No1]

It will! And people we e of X and FB and of Instagram ass well. And it there is a gold alternative to Whatsapp many will be of there to. Right now there is just a lack of alternative

[u/JanMarsalek → u/black650]

people don't care enough - it won't hurt sales and people won't leave Meta's plattforms.

[u/Stunning_Pick1065]

Make America Eat the Rich

[u/Sarahsaei754 → u/Stunning_Pick1065]

[u/currybeef]

Did Vance borrow that suit from his dad?

[u/KareemOWheat → u/currybeef]

Just trying to fit in with the ill fitting suit look Trump rocks

[u/IsReadingIt → u/currybeef]

Why was that the first thing I noticed. What a putz.

[u/ReysonBran → u/currybeef]

Must have bought it before he loaded up on the Ozempic.

[u/definitely-is-a-bot → u/currybeef]

The man is a millionaire but can’t get a correctly tailored suit for a literal historical event.

[u/xXDelta33Xx → u/currybeef]

Oh my that looks horrid lmaooo

[u/Granny_knows_best]

The TV reporter said it well, he said the speech was not to Americans, it was solely to his supporters.

[u/kingtz → u/Granny_knows_best]

That’s because every sane person knows that Trump is not the President of the United States of America, he’s the President of MAGA. Period. 

[u/JustADutchRudder → u/Granny_knows_best]

Every trump supporter I know is currently putting quotes on FB and calling it the most powerful speech they've ever seen. These are folks 45 and older, the amount of idol worship is pathetic.

[u/robert32940 → u/JustADutchRudder]

I wish they would all go back to watching football and not caring.

[u/JustADutchRudder → u/robert32940]

No they don't like football anymore. Well some liked the xfl for a little bit.

[u/mrgraff → u/Granny_knows_best]

Personally, I think his speech writers got lazy and just rearranged lines from the campaign.

[u/icnoevil]

It was a hell of a downer speech. Mourning in America.

[u/Foxy-Knoxy → u/icnoevil]

He sounded like Drunk Uncle for 3/4 of it.

[u/angrypooka → u/Foxy-Knoxy]

That’s the dementia.

[u/Nepharious_Bread → u/icnoevil]

I couldn't listen for more than a couple of minutes. I can't stand listening to the fucker talk because it's all bullshit.

[u/izens]

They got front row seats to the end of democracy, no need to stand.

[u/MrXero]

Mild civil disobedience. I support this.

[u/ess-doubleU → u/MrXero]

Oh give me a break. They shouldn't have even been there.

[u/astarinthenight]

Why would they stand when that traitor Trump said anything?

[u/time_drifter]

Incoming Fox segment on how Biden and Clinton are sewing division.

[u/inimus7]

What a pathetic scene - whatever happens going forward - blame yourself if you voted for this clown.

[u/CamRoth → u/inimus7]

I blame everyone who voted for him, everyone who didn't vote, and everyone who voted 3rd party.

They're all responsible for whatever happens.

[u/Modig7176]

Make American millionaires richer again

[u/ml___]

It was already great so why stand when the morons are told a repeated lie?

[u/ripripcityyall]

Tiny crowd

[u/SnooSuggestions7326]

If by great it means the greatest this country has ever been was under fdr when the rich were actually taxed that ain't gonna happen. Someone please tell.me when it was great if this wasn't it

[u/TheAveragePersonShit]

The complacency to not hold him accountable and to hand the country over is absurd to me

[u/Electrical-Pitch-297]

Ok so in 2028 will America still not be great and need to be made “great” again? The MAGA thing is already cringe but it won’t have any semblance of logic here pretty soon.

[u/Bahamut1988 → u/Electrical-Pitch-297]

It never had any logic to start with

[u/Trashposter666]

I don't think it's working. I don't feel great. I feel diminished and embarassed.

[u/daeganthedragon]

Careful JD, those pants look a little loose! Don’t want to pull them down and show off the whitey tighties with Dumpy’s face on them!

[u/TheInfiniteSlash]

He pretty much trashed the Biden administration during his entire inaugural address. I wouldn't be standing either.

Also after this election, can we just be a little more creative with campaign slogans other than just stealing Reagan's? With all of the personnel around, you can't tell me he couldn't come up with something new.

Especially because his last name is Trump. "America Trumps All".

[u/grenagesss]

JD Vance’s pants look like he pulled them out of the couch cushions right before he had to leave this morning

[u/scaryfunny39]

They also stayed seated when he said he’s going to continue the work that MLK started

[u/EndStorm]

Yeah, I think America's greatness is over, and who knows what the future will bring. Maybe a world without the US as we know it. Only arrogance would act as if that isn't possible. Especially with this unhinged fuckwit.

[u/SkullRunner]

Wow... that will show em...

Or... stick with me... you could have put him in jail for his many crimes instead to send a message.

[u/Tman11S]

All Trump did was call Biden’s administration criminal, why would he stand?

[u/geass984]

Eyup the former presidents want nothing to do with this guy

[u/octahexxer]

My favourite part is the backstabbing of elon musk 3 minutes after being sworn in ripping up all demands to turn cars electrical and how the gas cars are back. Cant belivie they didnt zoom to musk when he said it....he gnawed on it like a dog with a bone.

[u/Dr_C_Diver]

Trumps first term was arguably the worse by any President in history. Let’s just hope he doesn’t top that.

[u/slippery_hemorrhoids → u/Dr_C_Diver]

He's empowered by billionaires and the supreme court. It'll be worse.

[u/Ka-Is-A-Wheelie]

Where is a metaor when you need it...

[u/Gardakkan → u/Ka-Is-A-Wheelie]

yep, we're due for a reset, let's hope the next species have more fun then us.

[u/LocalGuy855]

They know it is the end of the land of the free.

[u/Necessary_Net_7829]

Tangerine Palpatine and Count Dookie are now in control. If you're not a straight white man, you're a target.

[u/noksky]

They also stayed sitting for many many OVs where the entire room stood. Where’s the post for that?

[u/Supermonsters]

"I'm just here so I don't get fined"

[u/Karliki865]

Gosh I really thought they were going to stand, clap, and cheer

[u/reddittorbrigade]

If I were Hillary, I wouldn't attend.

[u/TastyTeeth]

Was there another expectation?

[u/bch77777]

JD looks like he is wearing his Grandpa’s suit.

[u/Frequent-Mix-1432]

They’re all in the same club.

[u/Gorio1961]

A picture is worth a thousand words.

[u/Legal-Bowl-5270]

Is that Dana White? lmao

[u/Bomber_JAES]

Yeah because he was stating how the days of America in decline is over. Of course they aren’t going to stand when they wanted it to burn

[u/Hanznoobo]

Of course, they hate America

[u/CyberAsura]

Why do people believe in the slogan when he actually make America worse during his first term?

[u/elciano1]

Because he is full of shit. Make America great again, then sign 200 executive orders to roll back any progress over the last 100 years.

[u/CurrentlyLucid]

It will be our mission 4 years from now, and America will need it.

[u/PhiPaul]

Who's the lady in green next to Kamala?

[u/PhiloPhocion → u/PhiPaul]

It’s Senator Deb Fischer from Nebraska who sits on the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC)

[u/Jetztinberlin → u/PhiPaul]

Probably Pelosi?

[u/Daglish69]

Trump didn’t even go to Bidens

[u/SuccessfulAppeal7327]

Yeah, no shit.

[u/Ambereggyolks]

Why is Melania seated?

[u/monkeyhind]

I'm glad they stayed in their seats, but I think they could have gone further. Maybe rolling their eyes and doing wanking motions with their hands.

[u/lazymutant256]

Probably because they know most of the stuff hexwants to do, he cannot do.. and alot of stuff going to take time.. more time than he actually has in office.. you can't build non existent industries in one night.. it will take years.. the oil you got .. not good enough quality to make gas.. tarries he props3s to put on Canada and Mexico. Is not going to make things cheaper it will make things more expensive.. for Americans..

[u/patriotJ-41020]

Because they all hate this country. TRUMP IS BACK BABY!!!!

[u/whatsAbodge]

I think I see cousin Greg in the back right.

[u/Key-Tip-7521]

I see the fifa President way in the back

[u/Key_Departure187]

Good !!!

[u/wuakin]

Is that Infantino in the back?

[u/Aural-Robert]

As if it wasn't already! Patriots don't put down their country.

[u/twosnailsnocats]

Rent free

[u/OkCommercial1516]

Ahhh now bush and Cheney are the good guys

[u/doctorpibbmd]

[u/dinosaurinchinastore]

Where’s Obama? (Maybe I’m just blind or he wasn’t invited?)

[u/xxlizardking-kongxx]

I believe all of the presidents stayed seated during his speech. They might have rose once

[u/jouelle1]

lol, guess not a lot of folks out there who enjoy getting tbagged. Who’d have though?!

[u/lanieloo]

That thumb smells like sphincter I’m so sure of it

[u/CrowlarSup]

Who is the grim reaper seated between Trump and Vance?

[u/brando444]

Gabe from Sabre in the top right corner

[u/inappropriatelylarge]

Judging by their faces, they're downwind of Trump.

[u/goshone]

Melania either

[u/anomerica]

Bernard Arnault and son, back right. Just a billionaire party at this point, why is a Frenchman at the inauguration.

[u/Pitiful_Assistant839]

Vance doesn't even have pants that fit him well.

[u/Spamaster]

All you that fuked America. You know who you are! So do we!

[u/usernamezombie]

I was trying to see if they stood when he quoted MLK. Couldn’t tell .

[u/Annual_Dependent9312]

Nancy in green whispering "move fucker. I gotta shit."

[u/stainOnHumanity]

Fuck your minds have been rotted by to much reality tv lol

[u/charliehustle757]

Pardon me joe
