What signals did Trump's inaugural speech release?

Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, was formally sworn in on the morning of June 20th, 65438, local time and June 2nd1Beijing time. He delivered a very personal inaugural speech, which is bound to attract very complicated comments in the United States and around the world.

For the first time, Trump publicly criticized the past domestic and foreign policies of the United States in front of several former presidents, describing the United States as almost useless before this day and counting the failures of people's livelihood in various fields. He declared that "today, power is not only transferred from one president to the next, and from one political party to another", but also "power is transferred from Washington to the people".

He severely criticized "a handful of people in Washington" for grabbing the fruits of interests, but these have changed here and now. "Because your moment (the American people) has arrived, this moment belongs to you." He continued the language style of the campaign.

Trump also emphasized patriotism in his speech and reiterated the "America first (priority)" he advocated in the campaign. He said that all decisions on trade, taxation, immigration and diplomacy should be made for the benefit of American workers and American families.

He believes that all countries have the right to put their own interests first, and the United States does not seek to impose its own way of life on others, but hopes that "it can shine and become an example." He emphatically called for resisting radical Islamic terrorism and "wiping them off the face of the earth".

Trump did not mention China or Russian in his speech, nor did he mention the names of any countries outside the United States.

Our first impression of Trump's inaugural speech is that the wording of this speech is a bit rigorous, but the ideological tone is similar to his understanding during the campaign. A large part of his speech was "complaining" and "criticizing". He is really different from all previous presidents.

First, he doesn't respect others and doesn't take care of their feelings. His speech will make former presidents such as Obama and many elites present very uncomfortable. He should not care so much about what people and forces far away from him think.

Second, he believes that the domestic line of the United States and the current world order are wrong, and he promises to correct these mistakes to a great extent.

Third, revitalizing the American economy and improving people's livelihood is his number one ruling goal, and he seems convinced that most of the reasons for the problems in the American economy are foreign trade and economic policies that are unfavorable to the United States. He is very eager to make all this good for America.

Trump's goal is very ambitious. It seems that he wants to simultaneously carry out the political revolution within the United States and the revolution of international economic and trade rules facing the world. Some people in China immediately thought that he was going to launch the American version of the "Cultural Revolution". However, the American system has considerable restrictions on the president's power. Trump did not say how he would complete these revolutions. What people can see now is the influence of his personality factors in this period.

In the past, the new president of the United States will make great efforts to bridge the social division caused by elections, but Trump seems to be in no hurry to do so. He is more like preparing to "continue the revolution", and with his influence as president, he will lead the middle and lower classes in the United States to create a rebellion against the elite in Washington. On the other hand, his team is the richest in all previous American governments, and his employment and the goals he advocated are distorted.

Internationally, it is almost certain that he will have differences or even conflicts with some American allies, and the US-China trade friction under his leadership will also be a high probability event. In the past, international camps were generally divided by political systems and values. During the Trump period, this main line is likely to become blurred, and the main line of national economic interests will be highlighted.

Trump and his team talked a lot about China some time ago, but their route to China has obviously not been finalized. They really want to greatly expand their exports to China and transfer some factories in China to the United States, which is probably the most talked about China within them. It's almost certain that they play the problem of Taiwan Province Province as a card.

Trump did not talk about "universal values" and geopolitics in his inaugural speech. Maybe his interest is really not here. But this does not mean that his team will not increase the pressure on China in these areas. Trump's China policy depends on how he understands the interest relationship between the United States and China and whether he tries to forcibly change this relationship. If he wants to pressure China to make concessions, he will not rule out using all means without scruple.

Of course, there will be a lot of fires in front of Trump's house, and it's hard to say which dial "China's turn" will be.
