Trump's inaugural address as Batman villain
Following Trump's inaugural speech, social media users have noticed that one part of the US President's inauguration speech sounded quite familiar. They guessed that the 45th US president's speech was quite akin to Tom Hardy's villainous character Bane from Christopher Nolan's film The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Here are the transcripts of his speech and Bane's dialogue from the film:
"We take Gotham from the corrupt! The rich! The oppressors of generations who have kept you down with myths of opportunity, and we give it back to you – the people." Bane
"Today we are not merely transferring power from one administration or another ... we are transferring power from Washington DC and giving it back to you – the people." President Donald Trump

A Saturday Night Live writer, Katie Rich, was slammed on social media for saying Trump's youngest son would be a school shooter. The tweet was later removed from her account.

Trump inaugural cake
Trump's inaugural cake was reportedly commissioned to look exactly like Obama's inaugural cake. According to The Washington Post, pastry chef Duff Goldman found similarities between the Trump's nine-tier inaugural cake and Obama's second inauguration cake. He took to Twitter saying, "The cake on the left is the one I made for President Obama's inauguration 4 years ago. The one on the right is Trumps. I didn't make it."

Trump-CNN feud
The feud between CNN and U.S. president Donald Trump continues. Right from accusing CNN of using his worst picture as a book cover to calling CNN 'fake news', Trump is far from burying the hatchet. During his first press conference, Trump got into a back-and-forth with the CNN's senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta. While the correspondent tried to ask some questions to the newly elected President, Trump responded saying, "Your organization is terrible. You are fake news!"
