Trump Slams Washington Elite During Inaugural Address

Donald Trump became the 45th president of the United States on Friday, and quickly put official Washington on notice that business as usual was about to busted.

"Today we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another, or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American people," he said in his inaugural address which lasted less than 20 minutes.

With the outgoing president, Barack Obama, and the congressional leadership sitting right behind him, Trump used his trademark bluntness to indict the way the nation's capital has operated for the last decade

"For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost," he argued. "Washington flourished - but the people did not share in its wealth," he added.
