Whatever side of political spectrum you identify with, there is no denying that Donald Trump's inaugural address while swearing-in as the 45th president of the United States was one of the darker speeches — in sharp contrast with his predecessor Obama's 'hope, change' slogan.
Trump touched on a lot of topics — putting America first, ending Islamic terrorism, transferring power back to the people and so on.
Here's how Twitter reacted to the speech:
Trump and Bane. Who knew?

Why not make it a drinking game?
Trump's speech notable for death and decay imagery: blood, carnage, tombstones. Welcome to dystopia. pic.twitter.com/3A4BA3MCR8

No comments.
I just read an early Hitler speech (1933). Then I read a transcript of Trump's inauguration speech. Hitler comes off as moderate.

Message received?
Donald Trump's speech was not an inaugural address. It was a primal scream aimed at Washington, D.C.

The Daily Show host weighs in.
I think maybe Trump did write his own speech.

I hope Kanye interrupts Donald Trump's speech

My biggest worry today is Trump accidentally takes the original Russian text of his #inauguration speech.
