Reactions from President Trump’s favorite platform
“When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice,” President Donald Trump told the American people Friday morning. He is now the 45th President of the United States. His inauguration speech was filled with the kind of nationalistic, isolationist rhetoric he stated on the campaign trail. With all that, you may want to turn your head. You may want to divest. You can’t. Not as a form of protest. Not as anything else.
Luckily, we’ve got Twitter. For all its problems, this is where it excels. It allows us to find the pithiest, most direct stream of broadcast for our nascent thoughts, fears, struggles, anger, and hope.
Here’s how the Twitterverse is reacting to the first guy from Queens, New York, to ever become POTUS.
