In a post shared on X on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, Gabby criticised the US President for attacking his predecessor Joe Biden after his swearing-in on Monday, January 20, 2025.
He indicated that Trump’s attack on the Biden administration was unnecessary, stating that the US President should have taken a cue from the President of Ghana,
“Trump should have learnt from the swearing-in of Ghana’s come-back President at Ghana’s Jan 7 inauguration.
“Was there any need for the US President to have such a nasty go at his predecessor after winning such a massive endorsement and after his own swearing-in for a delayed second term?” he queried.
The NPP stalwart, however, praised the US President for the decisions he has taken since resuming office.
“But, I admire the decisiveness of taking such bold, even if controversial, decisions on his first day in office. Best of luck to both leaders and their citizens.”
What Trump said:
President Trump, during his speech at the swearing-in ceremony, slammed the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration over a number of issues, including his 2020 election loss and recent presidential pardons granted by President Biden.
The US President also criticised the prosecution of the people responsible for the riots at Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021, promising to take action.
“It’s action, not words, that count… You are going to see a lot of action on the J6 hostages,” he said.
Trump, right after his inauguration, signed executive orders to undo some of the policies of the Biden administration.
He signed an executive order for the release of more than 1,000 January 6 rioters who had been imprisoned.
He also signed an order to end citizenship documentation for babies of illegal immigrants and another order to declare illegal immigration a national emergency.
