Donald Trump’s inaugural address, reimagined with a healthy serving of truth…
Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans who voted for me, and people of the world, with a special nod to my friend, President Vladimir Putin: Thank you.
We, the citizens of America, are now joined divided in a great national effort struggle to rebuild redefine our country and restore its promise for all of our wealthy people. Together we I will determine the course of America and the world for many, many years to come. We will face challenges. We will confront hardships, but we I will get my way the job done.
Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to, Kenyan born, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, who was not a fashion model mind you, for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent losers. Thank you.
Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the deservingly wealthy people.
For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital, people like, Rex Tillerson, the president and CEO of ExxonMobil and my nominee for Secretary of State, and billionaire investor, Wilbur Ross, my nominee for the Department Commerce and Andrew Puzder, the chief executive of CKE Restaurants, my nominee for the Department of Labor, has have reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.
The big business manipulators of Washington flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth.
Politicians prospered, but the jobs left, and the factories closed. The establishment, of which I’m a charter member, protected itself, but not the citizens of our country. Their victories, which have been my victories and triumphs, have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they and I celebrated in our nation’s capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.
That all changes starting right here and right now, because this moment is your my moment. It belongs to you me. It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America who believe in me. This is you’re my day, this is you’re my celebration, and this, the United States of America, is your my country to loot.
What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people I select. Jan. 20, 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became rebelled against the rulers of this nation again.
The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. Everyone is listening to you me now. You came by the tens of millions far fewer numbers than my predecessor to become part of an historic movement, the likes of which the world has never seen in fascist Italy and Franco’s Spain before. At the center of this reactionary and repressive movement is a crucial conviction that a nation exists to serve its citizens me and my kind.
Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families and good jobs for themselves. These are rights just and reasonable demands of righteous of all people and a righteous public, but for too many of our citizens residents, a different reality exists:
Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities, rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation, an education system flush with cash, in middle class and above school districts and the private schools I and my children attended, but which leaves our young and beautiful (grope worthy) students deprived of all knowledge; and the crime and the gangs and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.
This American carnage stops right here and stops right now or in the near future, but soon.
We are one a divided nation, and their pain is our pain we have long ignored the pain of others. Their dreams of universal health and child care, full-time employment, fair wages, safe working conditions, quality education and efficient public transportation are our dreams nightmares, and their success will be our success doom. We share one a divided heart, one home in segregated neighborhoods, and one inglorious destiny. The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans that support my world view.
For many decades we’ve enriched foreign industry and increased US corporate profits at the expense of American industry, subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military while spending only 54% of the budget on the military.
We’ve defended other nation’s’ borders while refusing to defend our own and spent trillions and trillions of dollars overseas while America’s infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay. We’ve made other countries rich while the wealth, strength and confidence of our country dissipated over the horizon has been concentrated in the hands of the very wealthy like me.
One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions and millions of American workers that were left behind. The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed to the top 1% in the U.S. all across the world. But that is the past, and now we are looking only to under my watch, the future as well.
We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital and in every hall of power. From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. From this day forward, it’s going to be only me and my fellow billionaires’ America first. Wealthy Americans first.
Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs will be made to benefit wealthy Americans workers and the top 1% of American families. We must protect our borders profits from the ravages of other countries making our products government regulations stealing our companies and destroying our jobs. Protection of the rich and powerful will lead to great prosperity and strength for the fortunate few.
I will fight for you my own interests with every breath in my body, and I will never, ever let you know what’s going down. The American rich will start winning again, winning like never before. We will bring back our jobs if we can find them. We will bring back our borders. We will continue to bring back concentrate our wealth in the hands of the few. And we will bring back our dreams on new nightmares.
We will build new toll roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation with the revenues from our tax cuts. We will get our people off of welfare and back to work at less than minimum wage jobs, rebuilding our country with American (non-immigrant) hands and American (non-immigrant) labor.
We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and hire American only exempting crucial real estate and hospitality industries. We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world, but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.
We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, except those who oppose me in this country, but rather to let it shine shame us as an example of oppression, avarice and militarism. We will shine for be shunned by everyone to follow.
We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones — and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the earth along with everyone in or outside the US that opposes our righteous crusade.
At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America me, and through our loyalty to our country me, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other. When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice truth or reason. The Bible tells us how good and pleasant it is when God’s Christian people live together in unity.
We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity understand I have the final word. When America is united behind me, America I am totally unstoppable. There should be no fear. We are protected, and we will always be protected. We will be protected by in the custody of the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we will be protected by the white God of Capitalism.
Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger. In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving consuming products, concentrating wealth in the hands of the few, and exploiting other nations and the environment.
We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action do not support me constantly complaining but never doing anything about it. The time for empty bombastic talk is now over. Now arrives the hour of devious and deceptive action. Do not allow anyone to tell you that it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of American Militarism and Capitalism. We I will not fail. Our I country will thrive and prosper again.
We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the earth from the miseries of disease and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow at a reasonable profit and environmental compromises. A new national pride will stir ourselves, lift lower our sights and heal intensify our divisions.
It’s time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers, who will never include me, my children or the children of my billionaire friends, will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots economic conscripts, we will all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American flag in the sweet by and by.
And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the wind-swept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky. They fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Christian Free Market creator.
So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, from ocean to ocean, hear these words. You, except those who voted, marched, and spoke against me, and Megyn Kelly, Alec Baldwin and John Lewis, will never be ignored again. Your voice, your hopes and your dreams will define our my American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love for me will forever guide us along the way.
Together we I will make America me stronger again. We will make America me wealthy wealthier again.
We I will make America proud of me again. We will make America safer for my kind again. And, yes, together, we I will make America a great joke again. Thank you. May the God of Christ bless you and God bless my Aryan vision of America. Thank you. God bless the America of the wealthy.
