Aides: Trump Wrote Inauguration Speech Himself
The Hill ^ | 01/18/17 10:14 EST | BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY

Aides: Trump wrote inauguration speech himself President-elect Donald Trump has written a draft of his inauguration speech himself, citing two senior Trump transition officials.

The president-elect said last month that he planned to write the address himself when speaking with guests at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla.

The communications director for Trump's inaugural committee said last month Trump's speech will be about "dreaming big" and "looking forward."

"I am expecting a great address, one that, again, talks to Americans about dreaming big," Boris Epshteyn said. "About making sure that we are a city on the hill one more time, and I am looking forward to it — strong address that talks to all Americans."

During his presidential campaign, Trump often spoke from text prepared by Stephen Miller, his senior policy adviser, CNN reported.

It is not known what involvement Miller has had in adjusting the president-elect's draft.

Last month, Politico reported that early discussions of Trump's inaugural address focused on talking about some of the structural problems facing the country and Trump's first-term agenda.

They will pick this speech apart, showing plagiarism, bad grammer, and written for a 6th grade education level.

The biggest structural problem is the administration he’s replacing.

Donald will probably have the speech reviewed or listened to a few times before Friday. Most likely to review or listen to his rough draft would be Kelly Ann Conway, Reice Preibus, Ivanka, Eric, Don Jr. or the Senior Advisor Son in Law.

Each one of these people could write a book about being an insider while history is being made. Each loyalist has their own perspective.

Good. Speechwriters are an abomination. They reduce the President to an actor, delivering lines.

That's exactly why they lost so many viewers. Most Americans understand the media for the most part is nothing but lying propagandist, prostitutes for the leftist and globalist.

Like D.C., the media has been subverted, compromised, undermined and totally exposed. It's wonderful!
