Well, my friends, I don’t know about you, but I had some thoughts after watching Trump’s second inauguration. It wasn’t just me sitting there in anticipation—although there was a good amount of curiosity in the air. My observations were more about the strange flip we’ve seen in politics, and I can’t help but chuckle at how things seem to have evolved.
The Tech Giants’ Big Flip
First off, let’s talk about the tech giants—you know, the ones who have spent the past few years banning Trump from their platforms and publicly condemning him. Suddenly, here they are, sitting on stage at his inauguration. It’s like the ultimate flip. One minute, they’re canceling you, and the next minute, they’re applauding you. It’s like if someone says, “I can’t stand you” and then a few years later, there asking you out on a date. I’m not sure what happened there, but it’s a shift that definitely stands out.
The Amount of Money… WOW
Another thing that really struck me was the sheer amount of money represented on that stage. I think the top 5 richest people in the world were in attendance. I’m always amazed by how much wealth there is in our world. It’s almost like there’s enough money on that stage to fund an entire space mission. It’s staggering. Wait, they have funded a space mission. The presence of so much wealth made me wonder—where is it all going? Could some of that money be used to help fix some of the broken systems? I also dream about what I would do with that kinda wealth? Just something to think about.
Perfection is Overrated
Now, the event wasn’t without its flaws—and that’s okay. Perfection shouldn’t be the goal. There were definitely some hiccups, like the audio issues and some awkward moments. But honestly, that’s part of what makes events like this feel more real. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that no one and nothing is perfect. Maybe that’s something we could all take away, especially in politics—because it’s easy to think we need perfection, but what we really need is progress.
The Undoing: A Political Game
Trump’s speech could be summed up in just a few words: “Thank you. As your president, I will start working today. I will reverse, undo, change, everything that Biden has done. Thank you.” And honestly, that’s kind of the political vibe right now, isn’t it? It’s all about undoing. Undoing what the last administration did. It’s like a never-ending cycle. The question is—where’s the building? Where’s the forward progress? Maybe if we could work together, we could actually get something done. But who am I? Just a guy with some thoughts on the matter.
High Points: Pastor Sewell, Carrie Underwood, and Malina’s Hat
Now, let’s talk about the high points—because, even in a big event like this, there are always moments of brightness.
- Pastor Lorenzo Sewell’s prayer was a true highlight. His node to MLK was inspiring. A powerful moment that stood out.
- Carrie Underwood? Let’s just say her boss move was unforgettable. The music didn’t start, and there was a long pause of silence. Without missing a beat, Carrie just started singing, no background music, nothing. Talk about grace under pressure! That moment was truly impressive.
- And Malina’s hat? Honestly, I’m not entirely sure what was going on there, but it had me chuckling. It was a look, and it was definitely memorable. Trump trying to kiss her under the hat was great!
Low Points: Poor President Biden, and Digital Currency After the Inauguration
Now, for the low points. I do feel for Biden, having to sit there and listen to a whole speech about undoing everything he’s done. It had to be a tough moment. It’s hard to sit in the front row of something and feel like you’re the target of the speech.
Also, Pastor Sewell launching a digital currency right after the inauguration? I don’t know—asking people to purchase it after such a significant moment just didn’t sit well with me. It felt a little off, to be honest.
Disclaimer: A Non-Voter’s Take
Oh, and before I get any hate mail (or raised eyebrows), let me clarify: I haven’t voted for a major party in years. I think our system is broken, and frankly, it needs Jesus. So, take this all with a grain of salt—I’m just an observer, trying to make sense of what’s happening in our world.
So, there it is, folks. My hot take on Trump’s second inauguration. It was an event, to say the least, and there was a lot to reflect on. What are your thoughts on this? Let me know in the comments!
