Was this the worst first day of any admin in US history?

[rumdude]

It's got to be.

1. And a fabulous day for the resistance!

[MFM008]

2. I havent seen marches like this since

W's war decision.

4. I'm sure some thought

he started out well with his appearance at the National Cathedral, but even that went rapidly downhill. Crossing your arms (a defensive position) in church? Give me a break.

7. Can't expect someone who thinks they are a god to respect another god.

8. Good point! n/t

11. Well, there was also tapping his chest in semi-time to the National Anthem.

Not quite in time but close. And singing along with the anthem slightly behind the melody because he seemed confused about the lyrics midway through.

I thought the arms across the chest were a but much, too. I half expected him to check his watch but got tired of watching him fidget so turned it off. He looked very, very ill at ease. Melania, on the other hand, seemed fine. She might have some manners, unlike the short, greasy fingered vulgarian. (Fondness for KFC will do that for ya.)

5. Yes. Thankfully.

May there be many, many, many, many, many more to come!

[Phoenix61]

6. Sure as heck hope so

I've heard of getting off to a rocky start but... Whatever support he may have had at the CIA when he woke up this morning he pretty much kabashed by this afternoon. I imagine there are times to pick a fight with the media but over how many people were at the inauguration? The kindest thing they could do for him is impeach sooner rather than later.

[Freedomofspeech]

9. I certainly hope so.

Worst Administration EVER!

10. William Henry Harrison's inauguration day didn't go so well, but the effect was delayed. nt

[eleny]

12. Shortest term for a president, iirc

[pinboy3niner]

13. 31 days

Died of complications from pneumonia.

[eleny]

17. It's been a while since I read about the guy

But whenever he comes to mind I imagine a bitter weather day. I'm surprised that Congress didn't change Inauguration Day to some time in May.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

15. What's the over/under? Should we start a pool?

[eleny]

16. Given the KFC factor be sure to shave off a little

[Tommy_Carcetti]

14. Even without the march, yeah. Nt

[Kath2]

18. Yes!

And I LOVED being part of it!

[Retrograde]

19. Lincoln and Truman had pretty bad first days

but those weren't of their making. And they didn't set out to deliberately antagonize people.
