Donald J. Trump has made a quite, em, spectacular speech at his inauguration in Washington this afternoon.
The reaction to it has been pretty damning (and funny).

Trump's speech will make especially interesting listening four years from now. I expect we're going to be using a lot of clips in future

Welcome to the age of plunder, bluster, and empty rhetoric. In other words, to the Age of Dumb. If you voted for him, you're responsible.
