信心,希望和愛: History/Procedure of Presidential Inaugulation
I didn't watch until now as I've been busy. Trump speech lasted 16 min. 12 second - 1612 - quite lucky number to me - yes, me! At this moment, here is my thought - I jot it down as my moment of revelation - Humans often tend to select things then wanted to know, to hear while omiting all the other they don't want. Thus, I'm writing, as human being, only the thing in my mind, as below.
He went to the Presidential Church, 聖約翰教堂(St. Johns Church)比鄰白宮,seating on the Chair, 教壇的第9排54號座位,是教會人員免費為總統提供的“總統專座”。Yes, that's also my lucky number!
What I got from reading below and else where in English media - the boundary is set for realization of "equal justice under law" - the founding stone for the USA.
May God bless America. May peace upon the Earth for all people around the globe.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8New International Version (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
