Summary

This week the Guys start by discussing the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States. His inauguration speech was dark, depressing, and hyperbolic by normal presidential inaugural address standards, but Jay argues it was actually pretty restrained for a Trump speech. Mike and Jay also look at Trump’s historic unpopularity, … Continue reading "PG83: President Trump, Women’s March, Chelsea Manning"Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-politics-guys/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

1:28.4	he would end what he called this American carnage and bring back our jobs, our borders,
1:34.1	our wealth, and, yes, make America great again. Now, Democrats roundly panned the speech,
1:40.3	which was seen as dark, dystopian, and insular, while many Republicans found at least a
1:45.1	little bit more alike. What did you think, Jay?
1:49.6	Again, there's always the caveat, and I don't know whether we'll have to keep saying this for the next
1:54.1	four years or not, but, you know, there's sort of typical political speeches and there's Trump
