    During his inauguration speech, Donald Trump failed to address crucial issues affecting working families, such as the broken healthcare system and the rising costs of prescription drugs. Despite the country's growing homelessness and housing crisis, he did not mention any plans to tackle these problems. Furthermore, he ignored the increasing wealth inequality in America, where the wealthiest individuals are accumulating vast amounts of money, even during a time of crisis. Trump's silence on climate change and plans that could worsen the environment highlighted a concerning lack of direction. Advocates are urged to remain focused on supporting healthcare as a human right, affordable housing, access to education, and fair wages while demanding wealthier individuals contribute more taxes to support societal needs. The importance of organizing and putting pressure on Congress is emphasized to combat these issues and strive towards a more just society.

    I was at the Trump inauguration
  • 00:00:02
    yesterday and needless to say I disagree
  • 00:00:05
    with much of what he had to say but what
  • 00:00:07
    really struck me however is not what he
  • 00:00:11
    said which was not surprising given his
  • 00:00:14
    rhetoric but what he didn't say what he
  • 00:00:18
    didn't say the simple truth is that
  • 00:00:21
    Donald Trump gave a major speech the
  • 00:00:24
    first speech of his second presidency
  • 00:00:27
    and ignored virtually every important
  • 00:00:31
    issue facing the Working Families of
  • 00:00:33
    this country how crazy is that our
  • 00:00:38
    Health Care system is broken is
  • 00:00:41
    dysfunctional and it's widely expensive
  • 00:00:44
    not one word from Trump about how he is
  • 00:00:48
    going to address the health care crisis
  • 00:00:51
    we pay by far the highest prices in the
  • 00:00:53
    world for prescription drugs sometimes
  • 00:00:55
    10 times more than the people in other
  • 00:00:58
    countries and one out of four Americans
  • 00:01:01
    are unable to afford the prescriptions
  • 00:01:03
    that their doctors prescrib not one word
  • 00:01:06
    in his speech on the high cost of
  • 00:01:09
    prescription drugs we have 800,000
  • 00:01:13
    Americans who are homeless and millions
  • 00:01:15
    and millions of people spending 50 or
  • 00:01:18
    60% of their limited income on housing
  • 00:01:22
    we have a major housing crisis in
  • 00:01:25
    America everybody knows it and Trump in
  • 00:01:28
    his an dress did not devote one word to
  • 00:01:33
    it today in America we have more income
  • 00:01:37
    and wealth inequality than we have ever
  • 00:01:40
    had the wealthiest three people in
  • 00:01:42
    America now own more wealth than the
  • 00:01:45
    bottom half of our society but Trump had
  • 00:01:49
    nothing to say not one word about the
  • 00:01:51
    growing gap between the very rich and
  • 00:01:54
    everybody else and maybe just maybe
  • 00:01:58
    that's because he had
  • 00:02:00
    those three people the three wealthiest
  • 00:02:03
    people in our country sitting right
  • 00:02:06
