Trump MAGAThread III: Steak, Vodka, Casinos, and America

I was just watching the inauguration on the BBC on YouTube. The comments were very interesting, as all YouTube comments are.

And drop insurance companies altogether.

Hello, single-payer! Took you long enough!

I'm not a big fan of single-payer (or socialized medicine in general), but I've long said it was better than the ACA.

And the majority of the American people agree with you, apparently... but then bipartisan compromises happened.

Interesting euphemism.

Considering thee ACA didn't do a single thing to make healthcare more affordable (in fact both the premiums ad the deductibles rose considerably), going back to what we had pre-ACA and starting over is a good idea.

The thousands of people who will now die will disagree.

It did make health care available to a lot of people. In the replacement we need keep the pre-existing condition part

Feels weird to now think of someone else as the President.

A bit like NationStates really. Though far less mature, and not separated by threads.

Are you kidding?

Apparently, not having late 1960s-levels of military manpower on the order of 3.5 million personnel is seen as a bad thing by some people.

That ceremony was so diverse... they got not just one, but several homophobic preachers!

Right? I was no fan of Obama but it's kinda weird that he's now the former President.

Someone else who was bitten!

So, here we go.

Swamp is at 0% drained, Wall 0% built, Hillary is 0% locked up.

His promises are there, let's see if he does anything.

Calling it/ Herp predictions:
I think he will be the least popular prez in history.

He won't destroy the US. He will however, be corrupt, naive and not at all a good president.

He will most likely be a one term Pres. He won't do much with his platforms, and even the most devout Trump supporters will turn and see that he and his swamp cabinet will do nothing good for the country.

And I spotted at least three black people during the ceremony! Two of them being Obama and that pastor whose name I forgot.

I don't want to be mean, but the singer for the national anthem? She gets points for effort.

How hard was it to get just one modestly talented soprano?

Obama came into office when I was like 14. So its pretty weird for me as well.

Harder when a lot of the good ones refuse to perform for you.

As your northern neighbor, I say Bravo!

I was eager for this day to come. I strongly hope your new president will be able to Make America Great Again !

Russia isn't really north from the United States in the strictest sense. Mostly west/east, depending on your method of drawing.

Given the precedent of similar presidents in other countries, I'd be at least very skeptical.

Although, as a South American, it is weird but refreshing to feel like we're one step ahead of the northern hemisphere for once.

His speech was ridiculous. It was just a bunch of anti-establishment mumbo-jumbo.

Now we just created the biggest error possible.

Yeah, I need to speak to my soprano friend before forming an opinion, but by Jove, it was not entirely pleasant to listen to. But, perhaps she was under stress. She tried to show off a lot of technique, which rarely makes a singing voice sound better.

A notable improvement methinks. From a purely auditory standpoint.
