BTW, for the record -- you see what Trump is doing on tariffs/trade? The Administrative Procedure Act has a set of procedural requirements that must be followed before rulemaking (including rule recission). The tariffs would be invalid otherwise. So he's directing the agencies to "study" the issue, which will then create the factual basis for the policy.
In other words, exactly what Biden did with the immigration order that people complained was too late -- even though it had been in the works for well over a year. Tariffs, though, require less lead time because of the way the law is written.
Trump is apparently choosing not to use the emergency tariff provision of US law. That was the one he was expected to use when he said tariffs on day one.

1. The future is not yet written. It might seem that way, but it hasn't happened yet.
2. There are some things that Trump wants to do but can't do without the cooperation of the courts. For instance, he can't enforce invalid rules.

These types of comments will look foolish when doomsday never arrives.

Yes, he did on his way out the door. But there is a Biden thread for that discussion.

Certainly that will lower the price of gas and eggs. And when he renames military installations for dead confederate generals who committed treason against the US, electricity will basically be free again.

No comments on his speech? Personally, while I liked some of the things he said, that wasn't the place to carry out a state of the union speech. It looked bad and wasn't very dignified or presidential. Of course those things don't really apply to trump much. He must be the worst public speaker to ever be potus.

From Trump's inaugural address on actions he will take today:
"...First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border. All illegal entry will immediately be halted and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came. We will reinstate my Remain in Mexico policy. I will end the practice of catch and release. And I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country.
Under the orders I signed today, we will also be designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. And by invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, I will direct our government to use the full and immense power of federal and state law enforcement to eliminate the presence of all foreign gang criminal networks, bringing devastating crime to U.S. soil, including our cities and inner cities.
... [to fight inflation] today I will also declare a national energy emergency. We will drill, baby, drill.
...We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up again, right to the top, and export American energy all over the world.
We will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it. With my actions today, we will end the Green New Deal and we will revoke the electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge to our great American autoworkers.
In other words, you’ll be able to buy the car of your choice.
... I will immediately begin the overhaul of our trade system to protect American workers and families. Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens. For this purpose, we are establishing the External Revenue Service, to collect all tariffs, duties and revenues. It will be massive amounts of money pouring into our treasury, coming from foreign sources.
...After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America.
Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents, something I know something about. We will not allow that to happen. It will not happen again.
Under my leadership, we will restore fair, equal and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law. And we are going to bring law and order back to our cities.
This week, I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life. We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based.
... This week, I will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the Covid vaccine mandate, with full back pay. And I will sign an order to stop our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and social experiments while on duty.
As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female. ..."

Thankfully those woke days are over. At least for the next 4 years.

Continued (from transcript of inaugural address)
"...A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. And we will restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs.
President McKinley made our country very rich, through tariffs and through talent. He was a natural businessman and gave Teddy Roosevelt the money for many of the great things he did, including the Panama Canal, which has foolishly been given to the country of Panama after the United States.
The United States — I mean, think of this — spent more money than ever spent on a project before and lost 38,000 lives in the building of the Panama Canal. We have been treated very badly from this foolish gift that should have never been made. And Panama’s promise to us has been broken. The purpose of our deal and the spirit of our treaty has been totally violated.
American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way, shape, or form. And that includes the United States Navy. And above all, China is operating the Panama Canal, and we didn’t give it to China, we gave it to Panama. And we’re taking it back.
... The United States will once again consider itself a growing nation, one that increases our wealth, expands our territory, builds our cities, raises our expectations and carries our flag into new and beautiful horizons. And we will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars.
... In recent years our nation has suffered greatly. But we are going to bring it back and make it great again, greater than ever before. We will be a nation like no other, full of compassion, courage and exceptionalism. Our power will stop all wars and bring a new spirit of unity to a world that has been angry, violent and totally unpredictable.
America will be respected again and admired again, including by people of religion, faith and good will. We will be prosperous, we will be proud, we will be strong and we will win like never before. ..."

No, actually, they did not. We were concerned about all sorts of shit, but we weren't that concerned that he was going to end democracy.
I mean, the first term was an absolute fucking catastrophe in almost every way, but go ahead and love it in retrospect.
