If Donald Trump delivered his own inauguration speech on Twitter...
‘Scrap ugly wind turbines ripping Scotland apart and ruining views from golf hotels. Madness!!!’
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Donald J. Trump

Roberts a total doofus btw. Cast his Supreme Ct swing vote to save Obamacare which I’m going to scrap. Affordable Care Act an outstanding replacement which will take up all the slack #GoACA

Obama Worst President EVER but not a bad guy. Thanks to @POTUS for being so nice to me (Michelle also nice to Melania) since my unpresidented landslide win. Hope he’ll be happy back home in Mombasa! #phoneybirthcertificate

Such tremendous plans for next 4 years. Last 4 under affirmative action Precedent a total disaster (terrible for jobs, disgraceful Iran deal, lack of precedential dignity). But Obama’s gone and I’m in. Orange is the new black!

Failing fake news site Buzzfeed claims I suggested Eric dumb. Isn’t it crazy, I’m worth billions, employ thousands, yet libeled by sleazy morons! I’ll make it so easy to sue media reptiles even if it means scrapping 1st Amendment!!!

2) Improve relations with Russia. I could care less what the bedwetters (no, not Olga and Ekaterina in Room 279. Never happened! THEY DON’T EXIST!!) think about Vladimir Putin. We’re going to shower Kremlin with love #goldenrelationship

3) We’re going to build a beautiful wall on the southern border, and who’s going to pay? Yeah, that’s right, Mexico. Or us. Almost certainly us. But Mexico’ll get a $25bn bill to stick in its bottom drawer until I’m gone.
