The US, despite its claim to respect human rights, uphold justice, and guarantee civil liberties, has violated all fundamental values of the society by formally installing as president a notorious criminal.

Donald ‘Dotard’ Trump, the first felon to become the Chief Executive of the US, started his 4-year term with an inaugural speech, not to thousands of cheering masses in open air as is the norm, but to a select gathering of 600 mostly officials in the rotunda of the White House, citing cold weather.

According to analysts, it was actually the fear of losing life to a pot shot by one of the scores of millions of US citizens justly opposed to his unprincipled election to the Oval Office.

Among the slew of lies about the supposed greatness of the US during his inaugural speech was his utterance of the splitting of the atom for the first time ever by a US scientist.

His false claim angered New Zealand, which immediately refuted it and pointed out that the honour belongs to its own son, Sir Ernest Rutherford of Nelson city in South Island, who directed the first ever splitting of the atom in 1932.

Mayor Nick Smith of Nelson blasted Trump and expressed disbelief that the US president would make such an entirely false claim.

He stated that in order “to keep the historic record on who split the atom first,” he would be summoning US Ambassador to New Zealand to Nelson for a visit to the Lord Rutherford Memorial at Brightwater.

The next day on his first day as office, Trump signed as many as 80 executive orders, rancorously reversing most of the orders, especially signed by his predecessor Joe Biden during last days as president.

In addition to withdrawing the US from the WHO and the Paris Climate Accord to the shock of health experts, scientists and environmentalists worldwide, he signed an extraterritorial and actually illegal order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as ‘Gulf of America’.

The dotard that he is, Trump fails to understand that he has no right to distort the designation of international waters or lands, as he did Monday by criminally hurting the national sentiments of the natives of Alaska by renaming Mount Denali as Mount McKinley.

In short, the Trump who in his first term as president indulged in terrorism on the international scale and committed the unpardonable crime of ordering the cowardly assassination of Iran’s Hammer of Terrorists, General Qasim Soleimani, uttered as many as twenty lies.

The fraudster that he is, he had averaged 21 lies a day during his first term. According to The Washington Post “Trump’s Day 1 of his second term could herald a return to a fact-check era.”

In his first term, he had set the record of 30,573 untruths, and it is anybody’s guess how quickly he surpasses his tally of lies in his second term.
