For a guy that wants to make America great again, Donald Trump’s first remarks as President were a far cry from America being that shining city on a hill. In fact, it might be a dystopia you wouldn’t recognize.

George W Bush reportedly described Donald Trump’s inauguration as “some weird s***”, it has emerged.
The former President attended the swearing-in ceremony on Capitol Hill on 20 January along with Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter though his father George H W Bush was unable to attend due to poor health.
But the 70-year-old was reportedly unimpressed by the show and described Mr Trump’s short, seemingly angry speech as “some weird s***” according to three people present, New York Magazine reported.

During the speech Mr Trump referenced “American carnage” and “enriching foreign industry at the expense of American industry” and repeated his pledge to “make America great again”.
The Republican has kept a relatively low profile since leaving the White House in 2009 but was a vocal critic of Mr Trump during the election campaign – even saying he would vote for Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton after his younger brother Jeb Bush was defeated in the primaries.
Despite this, Mr Bush and his wife Laura decided to attend the inauguration. In a statement, his office said this was because he was “pleased to be able to witness the peaceful transfer of power” which they said was “a hallmark of American democracy”.
Mr Bush inadvertently became a meme during the inauguration after he struggled to get a poncho on when it began to rain.
This is not the first controversy to mar Mr Trump’s inauguration. The President took exception to media reports suggesting the crowds at his inauguration were noticeably thinner further back along the Mall compared with Mr Obama’s inauguration in 2009.
He claimed the media was deliberately lying about the size of the crowd which he said was “the largest ever”.

What An Expert Analyst Makes Of Trump's Language (HBO)

Some opponents of Donald Trump are convinced his combative speech style is actually a shrewd form of propaganda. VICE News sat down with Terence P. Moran, a longtime scholar of political speech, to gain some perspective on the rhetoric of the reality-TV star turned U.S. president.
Moran believes Trump is successful in part due to his habitual use of hyperbole. But Trump’s methods aren’t revolutionary, he contends; they’re rather reminiscent of past politicians, including Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan. “In a complex world, it’s nice to have someone promising solutions,” Moran said about Trump’s so-called strategy.
He did, however, offer an approach to define and counteract propaganda: “It’s called bullshit and the art of crap-detecting, and that is the essence of what we ought to be doing.”
