ANALYSIS — Donald Trump’s uniquely American coronation is complete.
There has been no resistance movement this time. He retook the presidential reins Monday armed with a Supreme Court immunity ruling, no remaining legal troubles and the backing of extremely influential corporate executives.
“I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country,” Trump said during his inaugural address after taking the presidential oath for a second time, calling for a “revolution of common sense” and the start of a “Golden Age.”
