Thrilled, scared and unsurprised: Americans react to Trump’s first week

Advertisements

Kyle Plessa, 39, an independent who voted for Trump: “I felt like I was watching like WWE, professional wrestling. Just the boisterousness, the showmanship, the playing for the cameras. You can tell that the entertainment is a big part of Donald Trump’s credo as opposed to whether you had Barack Obama or Joe Biden inaugurated.”

Greg Bruno, 67, a Republican who voted for Trump: “I think Trump proved he’s a man of the people when he threw those pens into the audience after signing the executive orders in front of 20,000 people. It just showed you who he really is working for.”

Richard Weil, 74, an independent who voted for Kamala Harris: “[His inaugural address] was not quite as dark as his first speech [in 2017], but it was certainly bitter. There was nothing in there that said good things about America.”

Angela Ramos, 37, an independent who voted for Harris: “I found a lot of Trump’s speech to be disingenuous, because he mentioned specific things like justice, honour, integrity, trustworthiness, but these are not qualities that I think are reflected in his policy or his behaviour… I watched it out of a sense of civic duty.”
