Appearance of Military Officers During Trump’s Inaugural Address Still Unexplained
(If you watch the USA Today video you can clearly see Trump turn to former president Obama and thank him for the graceful transition right as the doors behind him open and the soldiers come down the steps. They have no umbrellas in their hands. After getting new orders from anther officer, they turn, disorganized, and walk away. Turning their backs on the new president as they left.)
by Jerry White, WSWS
A strange and disturbing sequence took place behind President Donald Trump as he delivered his inaugural address Friday, which has gone virtually without comment in the news media.
Early in his address, ten military officers walked up and stood behind the president so they would prominently appear with Trump in the camera shots beamed across the US and the world. After 45 seconds, a Marine officer prompts the sailors and soldiers to leave, and they walk away.
The unusual incident prompted two comments during the New York Times live blog of the address. Jon Meacham, a presidential historian and the current executive editor at publisher Random House wrote, “The military guard behind him seems unusual; am I right?”
Maggie Haberman, the New York Times White House correspondent, responded, “Yes, and they have dispersed, but was it because it was raining?”
Meacham is presumably a well-informed commentator on inaugural protocol, having written a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Andrew Jackson in 2009 and a 2012 biography of Thomas Jefferson. However, the Times, the Washington Post and other major dailies and news networks never commented on the event further. The only mention of it was in the celebrity gossip web site TMZ and in the Daily Mail in the United Kingdom.
The innocent explanation about protecting the president and his guests from the light drizzle does not seem credible. While the first Air Force officer comes down with an umbrella in hand at 1:00 into the speech, the other officers who appear 16 seconds later have nothing in their hands. What happens next was not seen by most viewers because most networks cut away from Trump to view former President Obama nod approvingly as Trump praises Barack and Michelle Obama for “their gracious aid during this transition.”
However, a more distant camera shot available on the web site of USA Today provides more detail. At one minute and 16 seconds into the speech, Trump turns around, at which point two marine sentries behind him open the doors of the west side of the capitol building to allow the group of 10 officers to walk down the steps to stand directly behind Trump.
The group, consisting of mostly junior officers along with captains and higher-ranking officers from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, appeared just as Trump was saying, “Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another—but we are transferring power from Washington, DC, and giving it back to you, the American People.”
“For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.”
At that point, the Marine officer tells the officers to disperse.

Yes the new puppet wanted a photo shoot with the military and then he said well done to the out going Obummer puppet and the right hand will now carry on the same plan as the left hand was working on.
Bankers own the USA since 9/11 and all new leaders work for them untill we deal with the lot of them using lamp posts so don’t be fooled into thinking that Trump is one dot better then Obummer untill you see actions and not words
Virus Guard: D. Trump has been in office a very, very short time and he has done more good than bama did in his eight years of golfing….Give the guy a chance. You have NO idea of what is happening right now that he is doing that will be for the good of the people, but already you’re complaining. Hope you’re as productive at your job….why not ask the boss about that !?
Only a Select few know the real answers, and you will not see it here.
Its an obvious message sent, the military is behind the new presidency.
Yep they were literally behind the President.
I think they were there as part of a point Trump wanted to illustrate in his speech.. However.. that part had been edited out, last minute, but the military ensemble didn’t get that message,, until the one steps up to inform them..
“exit the stage, your dance number was cut”
and so off they went, no one the wiser.
This was certainly a message meant for a particular set of eyes. Whose? And, what was the message?
The message, I guess, was that in the transition of power the pentagon stood behind Trump.
The intended recipients, I guess, were any NWO controlled “fifth columns” that might have plans for other than the expected transfer of power.
The publics eyes.
It appears to me to be a very subliminal message that ” the military has been in existence for everyone BUT the american public, but now they are BACK”.
They were distributing umbrellas and ponchos.
Yes, that is exactly what they were doing. There was nothing sinister about their actions. If you saw a wide-view of the scene, it was easy to understand what was happening.
So now suddenly military officers have been demoted to being white house servants?
No, not “suddenly”, they always have been subservient to the President. Furthermore, their clearance level would make them obvious candidates to do exactly that.
Very wrong. Military personnel are subservient to the chain of command, to do duties that fall within their job descriptions.
I suspect it possible that it is illegal for the President to give an order to a private, it certainly isn’t protocol.
what you blind and did not read they were not handing out anything watch it they just come down and stand there they were not doing nothing.
Uh, no. I can’t tell if your reply is tongue-in-cheek or serious. The inauguration is a very highly scripted event. A half dozen low and mid-level officers in full dress uniforms representing all branches of the military do not appear on cue behind the President during his inauguration address, obvious to the national TV audience, to hand out umbrellas. Nope. They appear for another reason.

So .00002 pesos is back with the same inane bullshit…. some things never chanelp
It may have been a subliminal snub…….turning their backs on POTUS
Maybe George Bush senior did not attend not because of illness but as a rejection of Trump by the old order Skull & Cross bones…..

I noticed this too. I think it was a coded message to the globalists and Khazarian mafia that each branch of our military[The Continental Line 2.0] (literally) backs this Commander-in-Chief. It also happened when three Christian ministers came out for prayers and each of the officers bowed their heads in prayer. Sending a very strong message that our Republic is a Christian nation. Contrary to the many attempts by the last administration to take that out. Trumps message of giving the District of Columbia back to the American people may have had something to do with the act of 1871. His message is that the de jure Republic prior to 1871 is now back in the hands of the American people and the de facto thugs are on their way out. If this is the case, at some point in the future, this needs to be explained to all Americans with a permanent mechanism set up to never let it happen again. It needs to be out in the open. I strongly suspect that the dollar will get a big upgrade. Gold backing, the Glass-Steagall Act reinstated and the foreign owned FED abolished. This will really put a target on him like JFK but it must be done. He is restoring our de jure Republic.
Hey Bonfire, have you seen this website? http://www.usavsus.info/
Go down to the “Introduction” columns and read what it says. I find this site fascinating and I’m still digesting it.
To bad that the military couldn’t have escorted Obama out of the inauguration in handcuffs straight to Leavenworth military prison for LIFE for all of the damage he’s left in the wake of HIS “Presidency” !!!
now that would have been something to watch
very interesting observation. i usually spend my commenting time here ridiculing the absurd posts. but this was definitely curious and worth a look. is it possible they were there to deliver those rain ponchos we saw come out shortly after? the usa today video is too close up to see.
I like the idea of him sending a message to the NWO, and that the military will have his back. He should bring back some of those well qualified patriotic officers that bama ‘purged’ and replace those that bama kept in place that would have done his bidding.
I thought all that was strange as well, and I didn’t see them handing out anything! I also thought Bush juniors antics were bizarre.
Who has reported on the fact that Trump snubbed Bill Clinton just after the inauguration speech? It was blatantly obvious.
yeah, Trump walked right past Bill Clinton and totally ignored him.
Nothing happens without a reason at this level. They would not have been allowed on the platform. I did notice this and thought it very strange, they were there and then they dispersed. I couldn’t figure out what they were doing there. They didnt have the “clout” to be there. SO why then?
Were the military officers waiting to take Obama, and Hillary into custody? Was there a code word issued not to do so?
I noticed the action, and for a moment wondered if arrest were going to be made.
LOL, things have got so bad you need the military to hand out rain coats, Trump can only have got this far because of support from many people and organizations and to me the military were saying we got your back
well actually, I think they were telling the world we got his back, and with the people guarding his front the military his back and God looking down on him their gunna have to tunnel to get him.
From the ‘Mole Daily.’
“We got his down under!”
Seriously though, I spotted the event as well, watched all day Friday.
It was like the Flintstones meet the Kennedys. (Sorry, Fred and Wilma… Even you had more class.)
I believe there was a message there…Trump has the military’s backing.
Trump is going to get all the headline press provided by the fake MSM.
The satanic, liberal, socialist press, would much rather tell us about Trump canning the TPP, ect.,
than reporting a certain pizza parlor owner was under investigation.
The man to watch is the AG!
Trump doesn’t have to go after the Hill, Barry, or the rest.
HIS AG DOES!!!!!
Drain the swamp eh?
That AG better be a busy #&$#&%&^ person!!!!
I think it is obvious that there are a number of potential reasons for military personnel to be there.
If I were President Trump, I would certainly want to, at the inauguration, to give the impression that I had the support of the military, and that the military would stand behind me.
When politicians give speeches they are quite aware of the importance of the psychological impact of their surroundings, just as they learn things like facial expressions and body language.
That is why so many of them use their hands in such bizarre animated ways while speaking in public.
That they have been taught psychological tactics and body language doesn’t mean all them get good at it.
Lets not forget that President Trump no doubt has a lot of people behind the scenes helping him hone his image and insuring he doesn’t say the wrong thing ( ESPECIALLY in Trumps case).
You can bet your ass everything on that stage, including the general layout….. where people stood, and the fact he had 3 preachers speak, had a specific image it was intended to elicit.
Or just maybe these gentlemen were the pilots and officer crews of Airforce One and Marine One. AND……….they left early to get on board Marine One before the Event finished. Paranoid much?
That is VERY unlikely. I suspect the crew are seldom together in the same place, just like how you seldom see a President and Vice President and/or speaker of the house in the same place at the same time, for security reasons.
I noticed this too, and it offended me. It seemed very disrespectful of them to turn their backs and walk away in a loose semi-disorderly fashion. I’m sure it was a coded message. I hope it meant that the military has Trumps back and that they stand back-to-back with him. I fear that Trump may have had them come on stage to give a coded message which was then sabotaged by the officer who ordered them to turn their backs and disperse. I would love to hear the true story and meaning from someone who knows. But the most obvious message to me is that the military is turning their backs on Trump. But regardless of the message, I’m sure most of the military has to be in love with the man as he is the first president to love America in a very long time.
turn their backs to him? he’s a human being, not a deity
I love it..everybody always trying to make a BIG DEAL out of nothing! They were giving out umbrellas and rain ponchos!
