āIt Was Militant and It Was Darkā: Rachel Maddow Says Trumpās Speech Was āHard to Hearā
"As Donald Trumpās inauguration ceremony came to a close, Rachel Maddow commented that Americaās new president struck an alarming note through much of his speech earlier today.
Trump used his speech to talk about his āAmerica Firstā mantra and his various campaign promises to lead America into a new order. Even so, Trump did talk at length about the nationās problems, and Maddow reacted by noting the contrast between Trump and the more optimistic, hopeful speeches of former president Barack Obama.
"It was militant and it was dark,ā Maddow said. āThe crime, the gangs, the drugs, this āAmerican carnage,ā disrepair, decay. You canāt imagine the outgoing president giving a speech like that.ā
Maddow went on to say that Trumpās speech was reminiscent of nationalistic trends in America around WWII, and she used the isolationist America First Committee as her prime example.
āThe America First Committee is something that means a specific thing in this country. To repurpose it now, not that far down the historical path, itās hard. Itās hard to hear.ā
After Maddowās commentary, Chris Matthews praised the imagery Trump used about rejuvenating America, though Nicolle Wallace said the inaugural address was āunnecessarily darkā for the occasion."
