Trump pulled no punches in his inaugural address, where he complained about “the cruel, violent and unjust weaponization of the Department of Justice,” delivered in a dry, monotone while reading from a teleprompter.

But he brought even more to his sophomore effort, which he delivered in a more upbeat tone peppered with jokes, asides and vendettas.

‘I decided I’m not going to complicate this speech. I’m going to make it beautiful,’ he said of his words inside the Capitol Rotunda for the television audience and the history books.

His second speech, which was announced to last only 10 minutes, lasted 35 minutes. Trump, clearly enjoying himself, told the audience that he was getting the superior, unvarnished version of the bigwigs who were there in person.

“I think this was a better speech than the one I gave upstairs,” Trump, 78, said, addressing a group that included governors and their spouses.

“You got A-plus treatment,” he told them, at one point asking if the huge television screen offered a good enough view. The room is where visitors go to learn about the Capitol.
