U.S. Inauguration: Historic Day Marks Beginning of Renewed ‘America First’ Era

WASHINGTON, D. C. – Donald John Trump took to the podium on the Capitol Building’s west side with a look described by Connecticut resident Ann Marie Murray as one of ‘humility’ – just before Trump was sworn in Friday as the 45th president of the United States by Chief Justice John Roberts.
The event clearly was seen as inspiring by many. Chicago resident Doug Sparkman, moments after Trump’s inaugural address, agreed that he found Trump’s remarks to be rather ‘Jeffersonian,’ in the sense of being people-based. In that vein, he yearns for a country run on the basis of principle, not party. And given what he heard in Trump’s address, he feels that’s possible under the new administration.
‘Action, and putting politics aside, is what we really need for this country,’ Sparkman added.
