Surprise: Trump’s Inauguration Didn’t Offer Unity After All
Trump’s inauguration, even before it began, seemed to carry a certain air of expectation, an almost naive hope for unity. The reality, however, sharply contradicted this expectation. The event, far from fostering a sense of togetherness, instead highlighted the deep divisions already present in the country.
