Franklin Delano Roosevelt's First Inaugural Address was an impeccable, and rather memorable speech. FDR is credited, in this famous speech, with a famous quote which reads, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." This quote has served a very influential and motivational role in many citizens' lives ever since he gave this speech. To commence this inaugural, FDR begins to talk about the Great Depression, and touches up on how it does not have to be as bad as people are making it out to be. This address revealed to our nation FDR's pure optimism, and displayed his true leadership capabilities, that of one who could take our country out of a depression and beyond. People could now hope for a greater status of our nation than ever seen before. Roosevelt often refers to the poor condition of the country, but he does well to effectively incorporate ideas of the grandiose potential of of America's future. FDR also suggests various solutions to the problems, which included an increase in the production of farming materials, while decreasing the overall cost of the government. He concludes his speech in stating that electing him, a strong leader, was going to be the key in leading the nation out of this massive crisis and beyond.
This is a picture of President Donald J. Trump at his Presidential inauguration, where he was to give an inaugural address, just like how FDR did. The biggest difference was that Donald Trump's address had a 140 character count. Good thing he had the "best words."
