C’est le déluge

I didn’t watch the inauguration, but I did read some of the speech. I imagine that when Trump spouted off about “America first,” a big asterisk appeared over his head with the words “after Russia and Israel.” Am I right?

Stuff to read:

Jonathan Freedland, “Divisive, ungracious, unrepentant: this was Trump unbound.”

Gary Younge, “Trump’s first speech in office was unapologetic appeal to nationalism.”

Josh Marshall, “A Few Thoughts on Entering the Trump Era.”

New York Times, “What We’re Seeing at Trump’s Presidential Inauguration.”

I may add some more if I stumble onto anything good.
