President Donald Trump's Inauguration Speech as 45th President of the United States, January 20, 2017



My fellow Americans.
This is a new dawn for America.

First, I want to thank you all, you amazing American people who voted for me and put your trust in me, to lead the country back to being great again.

You have chosen the best man. As your president, I will do amazing things for you. We are not gonna pussy-foot anymore with China, with Mexico, with the Arabs or with all those other foreigners. When I am in charge, America will come first and not last, like during my predecessor (yeah, that’s a great word I like to use now, it means “the guy before me,” which was Obama, who by the way was never born in this country).

So here is the thing: You voted for me because you hate those liberals who are politically correct, right? Well, I got good news for you: I also hate them, and I promise you: I am not gonna be politically correct. And by the way, I am not gonna appoint women, blacks, Mexicans and other people just because they are black, or women, or some other thing. I will appoint the best man for the job, whoever that might be.

I have nothing against blacks and against women. I am a billionaire and I’ve run an amazing business. I’ve employed blacks and women, and Mexicans and other people from among the lower groups, too. Some of them are amazing. And if they are not very capable, there are plenty of other jobs which they can easily fill. Just because you are black or gay or a woman doesn’t mean that you can’t hold down a job. When I ran my great show “The Apprentice,” we hired some amazing people from all the different walks of life, not just the best-looking guys or anything like that...

I love all Americans. And by the way, if foreigners want to come here and learn from us, that’s fine with me. Let them. But if they come here to harm us and to rape us and stuff like that, they have another surprise coming. We are done pussy-footing around. We are the greatest country God ever created. We have the greatest military in all of human history. We are amazing. We could wipe out countries that threaten us, such as Iran and Korea or ISIS. But we haven’t done it, even though it would be easy for us. And you know why we haven’t done it? Because we are too good! That’s right, we have more power than all the other foreign countries put together, but we haven’t used our power. Why not? Because the democrats have been in charge of the White House government forever, and the democrats are afraid of power. They are afraid of using power. They are like a bunch of women.

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean all women. Just some of them. Take my lovely wife Melania for instance. Well, if you ever came and bothered her, she would let you have it, you can be sure of that!

And there are also some men who inside are actually like mushy women. And I don’t even mean just gays or anything like that. I mean that as a way of speaking. Men who are cowards and weak. Men who are not really men. Like those liberal do-gooders who want to take away our guns and our freedoms. Politicians and egg-heads who would rather be red than dead, and who are too afraid to even lift a finger to defend this great country of ours. That’s what I mean. Because you see, whether you are born with a vagina or with testicles, in your heart you can be a real man, or you can be a coward. That’s what I mean.

There are some pretty strong women out there. But if you want to be president of the greatest country God ever created, you got to have some gonads, as they say. And by the way that’s exactly what my predecessor (that means “the guy who came before me”) didn’t have. He acted like a college professor (well, I guess he WAS actually a college professor - maybe that was the whole problem, haha), one of those philosophers who believes that you can talk your way out of every problem.

Well, the ISIS and the other terrorists over there in Africa and various other countries know better. They don’t mess around. They know that talk is cheap. They act. If you don’t agree with them, they cut off your head - or your testicles, or both. We should learn from them. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that we should go around and cut off everybody’s head or everyone’s testicles (although a few of them, like ISIS, I wouldn’t mind). All I’m saying is that you gotta be tough, because the world is a tough place, and talk is cheap.

So as president, I am going to act, and not talk. I am going to solve problems and make America great again. Talk is cheap. When I am done, America will get respect again, and that’s what it’s all about!

You captured the essence of Trump.
Very funny if it weren't so pathetic.

Actually, if that "Alpha Mouth" megalomaniac sounded this rational we wouldn't be looking at the property market in Auckland! However, on a more serious note, it's going to be a question of who Clinton's adversary turns out to be and I do believe that I would rather that it be Trump than one of the other National Socialists.

Tom, this would be hilarious except it is frightening to think that this is probably about what he would say.

Tom Kando said...

Thanks, folks,
I'm glad people appreciate the humor.

Don said it!

Well captured! Tom, I have popped more popcorn and laughed at this political theater up until today. This is serious and who would have known that he would be a suction cup for the worlds anger at government. Our society is taking a turn into some weird neoliberal politics and liberal backlash by Tea Party Conservatives. Trump is entertaining and angry and forceful in an Apprentice entertaining style full of dirty desire, front stage political maneuvers and one liners and straightforward appeal. Power comes in many forms and I think your speech is spot on to what Trump will say. Interesting times in the world of politics especially as the Republican Party is revolting against its lead candidate. We need this blog more than ever to keep us acutely aware of how this political story goes. I enjoyed your excellent rendition of a Trump presidential speech.

Beangstigend geestig!
Ik hòòr het hem brullen.

Het was heel gezellig met Madeleine en jou.Ik was alleen nog niet fit, maar thuis de maaltijd laten komen was prima.

In a nation of 300 million, it’s absolutely absurd that our choices are going to be reduced to Trump versus Hillary…neither one of which can I stand. As a conservative, my best case scenario may be coming down to a Hillary indictment followed by a Biden nomination by acclimation.

How did you ever get the "Tramp" oops I mean the "Trump" to record this for you!!!!!

Don G. said...

Tom,
What a great speech! Thanks for sharing.
Bev and I both follow politics extensively. The “debates” have become almost depressing.

Kees said...

No way!!!
This will not be the case.
Hillary Clinton will be our new president

Scott said...

Very funny!!! He might also invade Canada and The Netherlands, just for fun.

Barry Schoenborn said...

Nice dialog, Tom! Well done!

Tom Kando said...

It’s great that many people are reacting to and amused by my attempt at humor. Carol, Gail, René, Anonymous 2, Don G., Kees and Barry seem to understand that the situation with Trump is both comic and tragic. And by the way, if Cruz somehow beats out Trump for the nomination, the situation will then be ONLY tragic - not comic at all.

The only fly in this ointment of comments is Anonymous 1. Equating Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is of course absurd. Furthermore, it seems to me that it would be better to select a president by acclamation than by adjusting the temperature.

Hi Tom, I...and appreciate the imagination and effort that went into (this) . It's probably so close to the truth that it's not really funny . It's scary. There's also that quality in Trump that I figure he will pivot on a dime and abandon many of his extreme positions but retain the boasting and the insults in s general election. It's very reassuring to see Rubio and Kasich withdraw support for the nominee if it's trump, after the recent outbreaks of violence at his rallies combined with his pallid and defensive response . Aside from everything else these serious criticisms from prominent fellow Republicans begin to reassure me that Trump may not be able to give that speech.

If you don't laugh well, you've got to cry, leave or slit your wrists right?
