Actually, I would say that it's pretty damming that only 46% thought it was "presidential", given that it was a presidential address, and only 44% found it to be inspiring. As his first address as president, there was always going to be a core group of voters that liked it, but approval ratings should have been much higher.BS44325 said:

I don't disagree but I am actually making the point that those who think that his floor of support will drop based on his speech and/or his behaviour and/or a massive protest are kidding themselves. It is why I state that the march while impressive is actually electorally insignificant. His support will be completely results dependant.oftenreading said:

I've mentioned Obama's lack of transparency before, especially relating to the press. Hell, from about 2013 every single photo of Obama in the White House was staged by an official White House photographer. We were provided only with images that were approved. No press pool photographers allowed. Only the whitewashed version of what the Obama administration wanted disseminated. I'm opposed to restricting press access regardless of party in power or occupant of the White House.JC29856 said:

Don't think so... I'm not sure what Trumps thoughts are on climate change. As I've stated some believe it to be a hoax, some believe it to be naturally occurring. Me, I don't think there is any doubt that directly and indirectly humans and human consumption affects climate change. If trump and his administration believe it to be a Chinese hoax, then it's up to science, our elected officials and the citizenry to push back.Spiritual_Chaos said:

I reacted to the first thing he posted, which was a clearly biased opinion piece, which is hardly digestible as truth. I've been looking into it a little deeper since then, and yes, it looks as if the original sentiment was true. further analysis is required. I hate that I have to read something, then research the political leanings of the author. nothing is just fucking news anymore. it's news with a slant.JC29856 said:

He trashed Fox news for their tactics. I applauded him for that, and it isn't even close to comparable to what Trump is doing.

The true, correct story of what happened at Donald Trump’s inauguration
Nothing that has ever happened or will ever happen was as great as Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The crowd was magnificent and huge, bigger than any crowd had ever been before! It stretched all the way to the moon. The Pope, who was there, confirmed it.
“Thanks for being here, Pope,” Donald Trump told him.
“Are you kidding? You’re my best friend,” the Pope said. “I wouldn’t miss your big day for anything!” He gave Donald Trump a big high-five.
[Did you attend the inauguration or a protest? Tell us what you plan to do next.]
Everyone in the world had come there at great expense. They sold all their possessions — their homes, their “Hamilton” tickets, which were worthless to them — to raise money to come and see this great sight. They could not believe that a perfect being such as Donald Trump even existed. They thought that he was a myth or a legend or a decades-long series of fabrications.
But then they saw him, and their doubts fell away.
The media was there, too, and they were very sorry. “Donald,” the newscasters said, “we were mean to you. We used to laugh and call you names. We were no better than all of the other reindeer. How can you ever forgive us?”
“Forgive you?” Donald Trump asked. “I’ve already forgotten.” He smiled a big, beautiful smile. That was just who Donald Trump was: forgiving, like Jesus, but blond.
