CNN commentator Van Jones said it was Trump’s incoming administration and likely policies on immigration and the environment make him bleak about the next four years.
“I have no hope,” Jones said. “I’m miserable. I’m sad. I’m frustrated. I’m angry at everything.”
On Sunday, Trump spoke about his new administration during a victory rally in Washington, DC, promising to executive orders on his first day in office. The new president said he would focus on key campaign issues during his first week as president, particularly on illegal immigration and energy policy.

“Look, if you’re a progressive or a Democrat right now, if you’re watching television, you’re probably watching it with some substance because [Trump’s] we’re going to launch this blitzkrieg of attacks on everything we care about, immigrants, clean energy, and there’s nothing we can do about it but watch these things,” Jones said. “I appreciate you, but I’m miserable and upset.”
“And I know you’re going to say something, Scott, that’s going to make me even more upset,” Jones said, laughing. “Go ahead.”
CNN commentator Scott Jennings predicted that Trump’s speech would be very “labour” and focused on “restoring” American confidence and greatness.

“No, I’m going to make you happy,” Jennings told Jones, “because a) we’re going to cut your taxes, too; b) here’s what he’s going to do, I think: I don’t think he’s going to be full of flowery speech, I think he’s going to be very labor, and I think the theme of the speech will be restoring trust in America.”
president biden, Harris, former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, Republican and Democratic members of Congress, foreign dignitaries, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos – three of the richest people in the world – other tech and business executives and some high-profile celebrities will gather in the Rotunda of the US Capitol for Trump’s inauguration, which will be held indoors for the first time in four decades due to the Arctic blast that has engulfed much of the nation.
