Chuck Todd: Trump Insulted Every Living President; Brokaw: He Insulted All Politicians Point Blank

Why are they surprised? Did they think he will be Presidential or decent? He has always been nasty and divisive, nothing new here.

CHUCK TODD: I have to say, it was surprisingly divisive for an inaugural address and I say it this way. We said it was a challenge when you're elected as an outsider, you're elected as a populist and you're channeling what was real anger out there with his supporters. It's tough to be both a unifier and a populist carrier. He went with populism and I think that it is going to play well with his folks but that wasn't the type of inaugural address that was intended to bring this country together...

America first. There was a point there, Lester, where it felt as if he almost was insulting every living president that was sitting next to him in very personal ways.

TOM BROKAW: He was also insulting all of the Republican Congressmen and Senators who were on stage. He has a majority but he went after politicians point blank.

Trump calls himself the unity POTUS..look at what he is doing to "unify" the country.

Under the Trump plan, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting would be privatized.

The National Endowment for the Humanities will be cut entirely

Funding to the Departments of Commerce and Energy would be drastically reduced and many of the programs under their jurisdiction eliminated or moved to another agency

He will eliminate the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, Violence Against Women Grants and the Legal Services Corporation at the Department of Justice

He is cutting funding for DOJ’s Civil Rights and Environment and Natural Resources divisions.

funding for nuclear physics and advanced scientific computing research would revert to 2008 levels.

He is also doing away with Office of Electricity and the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, as well as scrap the Office of Fossil Energy, which focuses on technologies to reduce carbon dioxide emissions

Funding for the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the Paris Climate Change Agreement and the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is also in jeopardy

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting in a statement said the plan to privatize would have a “devastating effect on its media service."

Other programs that are on the chopping block:

The Minority Business Development Agency
The Economic Development Administration:
The International Trade Administration
The Manufacturing Extension Partnership
The National Endowment for the Arts
The National Endowment for the Humanities:
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (privatized)
Department of Justice programs and funding:

The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services

Violence Against Women Grants

Legal Services Corporation

Reduced funding for Civil Rights, Environment, and Natural Resources divisions
