In a not particularly uncommon development, Trump is confessing to his own most contemptible compulsions. And the confessions took place during his inauguration address that he delivered to his elitist benefactors in the Capitol Rotunda, and the subsequent speech he gave to the foot soldiers of his MAGA cult. This should come as no surprise, because almost every time Trump opens his mouth, he emits maliciousness and lies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=64641\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Press Conference is the Best Evidence Yet that He is Positively, Irreparably Insane<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/read-trump-2025-inauguration-speech-185353248.html\" target=\"_blank\">inauguration redress<\/a><\/strong> was riddled with rancid rhetoric that diverted entirely from reality. For example, he babbled that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;The scales of justice will be rebalanced.

Drug cartels are only interested in making money. Which is something that they have in common with Trump.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens. For this purpose, we are establishing the External Revenue Service, to collect all tariffs, duties and revenues.

And his threat to take back the Panama Canal from Panama, which would require a hostile military invasion of a friendly neighbor.<\/p>\n<p>Trump moved on from that scene to the Capital One Arena, where his patient and obedient flock of MAGA disciples were waiting to hear from him after he canceled their tickets to the inaugural address, leaving them, literally, in the cold. His speech to this crowd was littered with a litany of lies especially crafted for these gullible rubes. CNN&#8217;s Daniel Dale recounted a few of them&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In his unscripted speech, he returned to his lie-a-minute style. He said the 2020 election was &#8216;totally rigged.&#8217; We know that&#8217;s a lie. He said his opponent tried to rig it this time. That&#8217;s more nonsense. He said that California Democrats tried to cheat and that he thinks he would have won the state this time if it were not rigged. Well, it was a free and fair election in that state as well. He lost by more than three million votes. [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On immigration he spoke of the jails of every country in the world being emptied into this country. He has never provided any evidence for his claims that foreign countries were deliberately emptying prisons to send people here as migrants. [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And then he turned to January 6th. He spoke at length about, he said the committee deleted all evidence, almost everything. It simply did not. That did not happen. [&#8230;] And he repeated his claim that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had &#8216;admitted&#8217; that she rejected a Trump offer of 10,000 National Guard troops on January 6, 2021. First of all, there is no basis for the claim that Trump even made her such an offer. It wouldn&#8217;t even have made sense considering that he, the president. is the commander of the D.C. National Guard. The Speaker of the House has no authority to deploy them or thwart a deployment. And second of all, she never admitted that such an offer was made. She has steadfastly rejected that.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">CNN\u2019s Daniel Dale Rips Through Trump&#39;s \u2018Lie-A-Minute\u2019 Post-Inauguration Speech To Prominent Fans <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jky4pvaFU3\">https:\/\/t.co\/jky4pvaFU3<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mediaite?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@mediaite<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DfeUh2W9Ya\">pic.twitter.com\/DfeUh2W9Ya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Tommy moderna-vaX-Topher (@tommyxtopher) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tommyxtopher\/status\/1881435218479112298?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 20, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This was a predictably inauspicious beginning for the Trump 2.0 occupation of the White House.

We cannot accept his plans to slash Social Security, sabotage healthcare, suppress civil and voting rights, make the U.S. an international pariah, and smooth the path for illegalities by his wealthy comrades and violent StormTrumpers.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s up to us to preserve democracy. Trump is not guaranteed four more years. Democrats could regain majorities in Congress in 2026.
