Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Bill McConnellAustin, Texas: Following his inaugural address, Trump delivered informal remarks to a crowd of his supporters gathered at the Capitol, many of whom did not attend the inauguration ceremony.
55% : We all know what he is and what Trump is.
53% : If you feel this is unwise, against our moral fiber and contrary to the safety of the U.S.A., please call your senators and tell them you object to their vote to confirm a man you would not have work in any position of authority, even a dog catcher, and especially not secretary of the U.S. Department of Defense.
48% : Moreover, Trump droned on and on.
44% : Trump took an oath Monday to protect and defend the Constitution.
41% : The pardon power for a government executive should only be extended to commute death sentences and nothing else.
28% : Regardless of whether one supports Trump, his remarks were a rhetorical oddity.
27% : So, Trump did what he does best by pardoning all the criminals who stormed the Capitol and who violently assaulted police officers while desecrating the building and hunting for political leaders to hurt or murder.
27% : Brands like Blackbird, Gardein and Daring offer ready-to-enjoy wings, while homemade cauliflower "wing" recipes are easy, delicious and crowd-pleasing.
15% : As a communication scholar who studied presidential discourse, it came across to me more like an incoherent recitation of grievances and lies, much like Trump did repeatedly at campaign rallies.
