Trump Takes Unexpected Turn with Dueling Messages

US President Donald Trump’s inaugural speech set a moderate tone, but his immediate appearance afterwards revealed a stark contrast. After delivering a policy-focused address in the Capitol rotunda, Trump gave an animated and divisive speech from Emancipation Hall. In this second address, he criticized the 2020 election, attacked former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Liz Cheney, and expressed frustration that his advisers had advised him against discussing pardons issued by President Joe Biden in his first speech. This contrasting tone reflects a growing divide among Trump’s advisors over their approach to politics.
