Well, the world is still here

I suppose that's an advantage on where we could have been, in that Trump hasn't done the "What happens if I do this?" bit with the nuclear button. Unsurprisingly, coverage of his inauguration has been, shall we say, less than adoring on this side of the Atlantic. It's not a case of his being popular with chunks of the working-class

I need to post about Trump and the inauguration, but so far I'm in love! This is the first time in my life that the man I voted for seems to intend to do exactly what he said he would. Μost of the bureaucrats seem to be in shock :D

Hopefully in a few months the Hillary brainwashing will start to wear off.  Other than the tiff about the size of his inaugural crowd, Trump seems to be mostly a standard-issue Republican so far.  There seems to be no actual reason to believe that Trump wants to nuke anyone - that is just projection from Team Hillary, who were the actual war-mongers

Inaugural presidential proclamations don't suddenly become Satanic omens just because the president's initials are DJT.

What am I missing here? I don't remember seeing anything about his initials being significant.

It's not the specific three letters, but the fact that it's Donald J. Trump doing something which makes that thing seem evil.  As with Obama, where anytime he did a thing that a Republican had previously approved of, it became the worst thing imaginable after a Black Democrat did it.

Though I will admit, this doesn't quite fit into the "standard Republican" mould.  But it is traditional for Republicans to threaten to rain fire and brimstone upon San Francisco (which is a sanctuary city), and then not actually go through with their threats because S.F. generates a lot of tax revenue.  So I guess we'll have to see how short-sighted Trump really is.

I'll be interested to see it! While (as may be apparent =:P ) Trump hasn't exactly won me over, it would be welcome to see some thoughts from a supporter. At least, thoughts that run to more than 140 characters!
