Two “bombs” that will make Trump’s inauguration go down in history

Thesis statement about Trump’s inauguration.
The two “bombs” that will make this inauguration go down in history are Melania’s hat and the stoned Musk. In fact, the main character of this ceremony, Donald Trump, who became the 47th President of the United States, was only in third place. But he is still happy. He took revenge. He’s back, almost like the Terminator.
Judging by his speech, he is going to be the Terminator, in the political sense, of course. However, at the same time he is going to be a peacemaker, to stop all wars in the world. God willing, he will be able to stop at least the Russian war against Ukraine. And preferably not at our expense.
Some Ukrainian commentators lament that Trump has never mentioned Ukraine. Maybe it’s for the best? I think that people in Canada, Denmark, Greenland, and some other countries are even happy that Trump did not mention them in his speech.
And some people are already eager for Trump to make America great somewhere on Mars. Moreover, for Trump, this is already a new bright slogan – “to Mars!” Elon Musk seems to be flying there in some secret way. It was very noticeable at the inauguration.
Trump’s inaugural speech is unlikely to go down in history. It is clearly not a masterpiece of oratory and speechwriting. But Trump has clearly defined his priorities. A conservative populist counterrevolution is clearly planned in the United States. I don’t know if Donald Trump has ever heard Stalin’s statement “life has become better, life has become more fun” (in the original language).
Trump has already promised Americans a better life. We’ll see how he does it. But it will definitely be more fun under Trump’s presidency (as his inauguration showed). But not everyone will have fun.
