Trump Is President. Philly Social Media Reacts.

We told you, but in case you somehow missed it: Donald J. Trump is now president of the United States.
I did a brief scan of Twitter and picked out some of the ones I liked.
Some found it a historic day for our city’s most prestigious university.
It's official — @Penn can count a United States president among its alumni.

Some found some symbolism in the weather.
Fitting that it started raining in Philly just as he's getting sworn in.

Others just got discouraged.

There was just a hint of sarcasm.
Ahhh, the rhetoric of inclusion and unity, healing wounds and binding us together.
Good God!

The wonks were mainly distraught.
This is a terrible Inaugural speech for a President of these United States. Terrible. Sad.

Trump’s speech had a fan, though, in one local sports anchor.

And the Philadelphia Republican Party is acting like the gracious winner we’ve known them to be all along.
