President just set a very high bar for himself

A few quick thoughts on President Donald Trump's inaugural address:

Donald Trump at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Thursday.

Broadly, my posture is to wait and see.

Trump himself said during his address that the time for talk was over and that it was time for action. Action has never been Trump's strong suit. We'll soon see what his actions are and how much of the electorate finds them to be satisfactory.

I believe the tasks ahead of Trump are even harder than the tasks that lay behind him to win his shocking upset victory in last year's election. But rather than foreordain his failure, I will watch and see whether he surprises us again.
