MAUREEN CALLAHAN: The glorious hidden messages in Trump's inauguration speech that prove America has finally woken from its wintry slumber

To punctuation a legendary governmental ad: It's greeting again successful America.

President Donald Trump's America, that is.

That patriotic 1984 slogan won Ronald Reagan a 2nd term, and Trump's inaugural code — truthful overmuch of his campaign, truly — mirrored Reagan, intentionally and coincidentally.

Trump spoke calmly arsenic helium excoriated the Biden administration, saber-rattled our enemies, and reminded america each of American power, supremacy, and exceptionalism.

'The aureate property of America begins close now!'

Bam. What an implicit banger of an opening line.

It's exactly what a weary populace, beaten down for years by a Democratic Party that has thing but contempt for this country, truthful severely needed to hear.

The Donald Trump we saw connected Monday is markedly antithetic from the 1 inaugurated 8 years ago. Even his critics would person to agree: Trump has matured, and 47 volition beryllium a precise antithetic president than 45.

Just look astatine his necktie, of interwoven bluish and reddish that, from a distance, work arsenic purple.

In lawsuit we didn't get the message: 'My proudest legacy,' Trump said, 'will beryllium arsenic a peacemaker and a unifier. That is what I privation to be.'

Take that, Barack Obama. Take that, Joe Biden — who sat humiliated arsenic Trump brazenly, but softly, told america that helium was present to hole everything Biden and the Dems person broken.

Trump spoke of 'a thrilling caller epoch of American success' and the instrumentality of 'sunlight'.

Indeed, the parallels with Reagan astonish. Much similar the alleged 'Great Communicator', Trump defeated a one-term Democrat incumbent who led the federation into planetary retreat and recession.

Like Reagan, whose predetermination guaranteed that Iran would instrumentality the American hostages it held for 444 days portion his predecessor did little, Trump's triumph guaranteed that Hamas would hold to a ceasefire and statesman releasing hostages — 3 connected Sunday, 1 time earlier Trump's inauguration, showing Biden for the spineless, senile wreck helium is.

Yes, Joe Biden is Jimmy Carter: Weak, feckless, and liable for America's decline. The lone quality is that Carter had existent morals and ethics. Biden, 15 minutes earlier leaving office, pardoned his full family.

Not that they're criminals, of course!

Good riddance to atrocious rubbish.

'Let's marque America large again' — that was Ronald Reagan successful 1980. Who would person thought Donald J. Trump would beryllium his political, philosophical and spiritual successor?

Not galore presidents person been changeable successful an assassination attempt, survived, and won re-election, arsenic Reagan and Trump did. Only Reagan and Trump person been inaugurated, for their 2nd terms, indoors.

Trump has intelligibly modeled this caller mentation of himself connected Reagan. That augurs well.

The 'American carnage' and acheronian imaginativeness that animated Trump's archetypal inaugural code is agelong gone.

In its place: Optimism, patriotism, state of prime and state of speech, pridefulness successful hard enactment and nary apologies for well-earned wealth. A restoration of halfway values and communal sense.

Imagine that.

How satisfying, however deserved, to ticker Joe and Jill, Kamala and Doug, Bill and Hillary perceive stone-faced arsenic Trump calmly, rapidly savaged them and their ruinous, reckless policies.

He mentioned the hostages Biden astir ne'er spoke of, offering 'prayers' for them and for bid successful the Middle East.

He declared 2 genders, antheral and female, and promised to extremity the engineering of 'race and sex into each facet of nationalist life'. To bring 'law and bid backmost to our cities'. To unafraid the borderline and designate cartels and gangs arsenic violent organizations.

And, successful a motion to JFK's ain inaugural committedness to enactment a antheral connected the moon, Trump aims to works the American emblem connected Mars.

Sure, it's wild, but truthful what? No 1 thought JFK's imagination would ever travel to pass, either.

Speaking of: How unthinkable to spot the comparative younker and encephalon powerfulness virtually sitting down Trump.

Apple's Tim Cook, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and his vulgar girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez, with her breasts popping retired — a existent rebuke to the wide gerontocracy seated, fittingly, connected Trump's left.

Our 47th president is prioritizing futurism, a caller abstraction age, and our top exports: tech, of course, but besides innovation and creativity.

He volition guarantee that businesses, large and small, person the quality to thrive.

Shame successful being American nary longer has a spot here.

Make nary mistake: The white-out snowstorm 1 the eve of Trump's inauguration, that heavy frost connected the East Coast, was the past of America's wintry slumber.

His swearing-in marks a thawing retired — and if you don't judge me, spot the footage of Jill Biden hugging Kamala Harris! Is determination nary bid that Trump can't facilitate?

What a comeback for a president beset by lawfare and impeachments, by a wide media hellbent connected keeping him retired of office, and a Republican enactment that wanted him gone.

'I americium proof,' Trump said, 'that thing is ne'er intolerable to bash successful America. The intolerable is what we bash best.'

Here's to the adjacent 4 years.
