Ryan Lizza: ‘Perhaps the Pageantry’ Was Making Trump More Subdued

‘I’ll be very curious to see what Steven Miller and the team of Steven Miller, Steve Bannon and Donald Trump come up with for their inaugural address tomorrow’

RUSH EXCERPT:
LIZZA: "He was. All the pageantry of this is perhaps having an impact. I’ll be very curious to see what Steven Miller and the team of Steven Miller, Steve Bannon and Donald Trump come up with for their inaugural address tomorrow. Often inaugural addresses are about a story about where America is at this moment in time. And where the president wants to take the country. For instance, in 2009, Obama’s was about the crisis, the economic crisis and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a call that we’ve been through tough things before and we can come out of it together. There’s always a great note of unity. Trump and the people around him have a very different view of where America is at this point. This populist, nationalist message that him and his aides have campaigned on. It will be striking where he wants the country to go but what is the story he tells of America."
