In the United States concord was possiblebut only for a few hours. Because Donald Trump is back and, with it, version 2.0 of its philosophy, the Trumpismwhich has taken a while .
That time, the time he took to begin to outline his presidential program once he was sworn into office, was enough for end good mannerswords and gestures, that surrounded the day of the presidential replacement. Because, unlike what happened four years ago, this time The Capitol did not resonate with rebellion but with cordiality.
Under the freezing cold of Washington DC, Trump and Biden shared the last minutes of the Democrat’s mandate in an exhibition of affability, repeated several times since the Republican’s victory in the 5-N elections was confirmed. They, like their wives and their vice presidents. one of those scenes that seemed unthinkable just weeks agoin the middle of the electoral contest between Democrats and Trump’s Republicans. The surprising tune has been transmitted to inside the capitolin the same Rotunda where Ronald Reagan was sworn in 40 years ago, then also for meteorological reasons.
In the heat of a historical corner, not only former presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton or Barack Obama were waiting for Trump. I did it too his intimates Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos y close world leaders as Javier Milei or Giorgia Meloni. Santiago Abascal was also there, looking for a compelling photo for his voters. The triumph of democratic “normality” that has culminated with the inauguration of JD Vance as vice president and Donald Trump himself as the 47th president of the United States.
Protagonist of his big day, the 45th president was happy. His face was a declaration of intent; Melania’s, too, by the way. In a very marked background and distant with her husbandthe image of both has recalled the one seen so many times in his first term. Oblivious to everything, he first convicted president in US history He was sworn into office with a promise to defend the Constitution “to the limit of my ability.” A formalism, another one, that would give way to the beginning of the show.
Freed from the weight of the two Bibles on which he has swornhas brought out his verbal and ideological artillery for his first intervention as president. Where many would have opted for a low, institutional profile, he has not missed the opportunity to set ‘style’. Every sentence, a punch against understanding; each announcement, a reason for euphoria for the parish of Trumpism. The Rotunda was a clamor of applause, the public standing and praising the leader as his announcements followed one another.
The “Golden Age” what Trump promises for the US It begins with a string of executive orders against almost everything. Without a break in continuity, measures against “illegal immigration”, “gender ideology”, the “corrupt establishment” or “climate ideology” fell. Something like a Joe Biden who held on, stoic, in the seat next to him. Everything, with immediate effect…as he has been promising for months.
Donald Trump takes oath of office as Joe Biden looks on
The outgoing president, who has not lost his more or less natural smile throughout the day, has had to experience first-hand the ‘messianism’ of a self-convinced leader of return to power by a “divine mandate” who saved his life in an assassination attempt during a rally in July. Same story as the various religious leaders who wanted to celebrate the event, between prayers and glories for the new leader.
If there was any doubt, Trump took a minute to clear it up between promises, threats and dreams of greatness. Trumpism is here and with the promise to “make America great again” for the second time.
