Trump’s second inaugural address was not the promised magnanimous gesture of reconciliation but just a new iteration of 'American carnage.' His speeches reflect a pattern of crudeness and repetition.
In the second address, we heard the same basic underlying message as the first: under the corrupt elite represented by his opponents, America faces a hellscape, which Trump claims only he can remedy.
The main differences between the two speeches lay in tone and confidence. The first was memorably angry; the second was more subdued, yet still focused on an 'America First' agenda.
Aides promised a unity message to heal a divided nation, but anyone expecting true change from Trump misjudged his character, as he is incapable of comity.
