One thing I listened closely for in Donald Trump’s
inaugural speech was the words “I” and “me”, and I believe that there were two
times that the word “I” was used and zero times the word “me” was used. This lack
of a personal pronoun referring to himself is significant because we’ve gotten
used to hearing Obama refer to himself dozens of times in every speech he
gives. Obama loves to regale us with how smart he is, and how hard he’s worked
for Americans, and how much influence he has with world leaders and how much
they all love him, and how he’s created so many millions of good-paying jobs in
his tenure as president, and how he’s stalled Iran in their attempt to develop
a nuclear weapon, and how he’s cut the cost of healthcare for all Americans and
assured health protection for twenty million Americans who formerly did not
have health insurance, all of which are lies, but that never stopped Obama from
claiming credit for them anyway.
But Donald Trump’s inaugural speech specifically used words
like “we” and “the American people” when referring to his policies, which is
exactly what we want to hear after eight years of Obama designing more
government programs to serve his agenda and to make government bigger, and to
make the American citizens more dependent on establishment bureaucrats.
Trump was also clear that he believes government is
too large and too self-serving and must be made smaller, thereby granting
American citizens more liberty to live their lives. The speech was perfect in
content and length, and I’m personally excited about the future of America with
our new leader.
