Topics
Jane Koston:我作为节目的主持人,对特朗普就职演说中提到的美国黄金时代表示怀疑,因为他本人似乎对此并不感到兴奋。特朗普的第二次就职演说与八年前相比,基调有所缓和,但他仍然花了大量时间抱怨前任政府的糟糕表现。特朗普宣称美国的衰落已经结束,一切从东部时间中午开始改变。 在特朗普的就职典礼上,世界首富坐在他身后,而共和党州长则被安排在溢流室,这反映了特朗普的权力倾斜。特朗普指责建制派吸取财富,却又让世界首富坐在他身后,这种讽刺意味可能被大众忽略。特朗普的政治模式依赖于社交媒体和新闻稿,但这种模式存在风险,因为他的继任者难以复制他的成功,而且共和党需要在国会取得一些成就。德桑蒂斯曾被视为特朗普的替代者,但目前还没有人能够成功复制特朗普的政治风格。特朗普的部分支持者并非死忠,他们可能是因为经济原因或移民问题而投票给他。信息环境和算法控制是令人担忧的问题,但并非所有美国人都受到这些因素的影响。如果特朗普无法兑现承诺,可能会失去部分选民,甚至这些选民会转向民主党。 Donald Trump:我当选是对之前种种背叛的彻底逆转,是为了让人民重拾信仰、财富、民主和自由。我将签署赦免1月6日事件参与者的命令。拜登赦免米利和切尼等人的行为是不可接受的。 Todd Zwilich:特朗普能够兑现一些承诺,例如加强边境管控、结束庇护政策等,但一些承诺如免税加班费等则难以实现。国会将专注于为企业和富人减税,增加国防开支,这将导致赤字增加,而特朗普本人不会为此付出代价。 Eugene Daniels:特朗普签署的行政命令包括:让军队参与边境执法、将贩毒集团指定为恐怖组织、宣布南部边境进入紧急状态等。特朗普的行政命令更多的是一种信号,旨在向支持者传递他正在努力实现承诺的信息。特朗普敢于挑战最高法院,这与以往总统的做法不同。特朗普签署的行政命令中,赦免令以及关于性别的声明都具有象征意义,旨在激怒其反对者。与第一次执政相比,特朗普这次的行政命令发布更组织化,但执行和法律挑战仍然存在。特朗普的行政命令更多的是为了向支持者传递信号,即使最终无法实现。 Joe Biden:拜登在卸任前赦免了多名政治人物,以防他们受到特朗普政府的政治迫害。拜登还赦免了部分家人,声称是为了防止他们受到特朗普政府的不公平起诉。

Shownotes Transcript

Donald Trump is President of the United States. Again. His inaugural address Tuesday wasn’t quite as dark as the ‘American carnage’ speech he gave eight years ago. This time around, Trump promised the beginning of a “golden age of America” before reading off a laundry list of policies he plans to pursue during his presidency that will, almost certainly, not usher in a golden age. Standing behind Trump were some of the richest men in the world: Tech CEOs Sundar Pichai of Google, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, and X’s Elon Musk. Longtime D.C. reporter and friend of the pod Todd Zwillich helps us break down Trump’s inauguration speech. 

Later in the show, Eugene Daniels, White House correspondent for Politico, walks us through the many executive orders Trump signed Tuesday.

And in headlines: Joe Biden spent his final hours as president issuing a bunch of preemptive pardons for members of his family and Trump’s political enemies, Vivek Ramaswamy may leave DOGE, and China said it’s open to selling TikTok.
