Trump will be speaking as a president who faces not only the weight of governing a sprawling nation with ties and burdens across the globe but also the challenge of beginning to create his historical legacy
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump gestures during a rally the day before he is scheduled to be inaugurated for a second term, in Washington DC, on Jan. 19.delivers his inaugural address Monday, he will be speaking to more than the American people. He will be speaking to history.
Now Mr. Trump will add his voice, and his values, to the compendium of inaugural addresses, perhaps hoping to match the eloquence of Abraham Lincoln, who in his 1865 address, amid the Civil War, told the American people, “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the nation’s wounds.
Most inaugural addresses do not list a series of legislative goals. That is for a State of the Union message. They speak, instead, of overarching values. They are high-minded. Even Mr. Trump’s closest advisers acknowledge that he is an informal, stream-of-consciousness speaker, prone to depart from prepared speeches. He is even more likely than Mr. Biden – known during his Senate years for mysterious, directionless rhetorical flights – to set off on unpredictable and sometimes inscrutable tangents.One example is Richard Nixon’s 1969 inaugural address.
