President-elect Donald Trump privately told several visitors to his winter retreat in Florida on Wednesday that he is writing the first draft of his inaugural speech and is looking to presidents Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy for inspiration, according to three people familiar with the conversation.

Trump told them that Reagan’s “style” and Kennedy’s articulation of grand national ambitions are central to how he thinks through his own speech, which will be given Jan. 20, the people said.

There are plenty of people out there who would like to see Trump in the same club as Kennedy and Reagan - i.e. the club of presidents who got shot.

The fact he's thinking about it beforehand is somewhat encouraging. That press conference the other week was astonishing waffle.

And while Trump is working closely with Stephen Miller, his aide and speechwriter, on the text, he confided that in recent days he has become more personally involved in the writing process

I can hear the cries of anguish from his advisers already.

It'll be entertaining in a WTF did he just say kind of way, if nothing else.

Shame he hasn't learned from Kennedy and Reagan's opposition to building walls...

"Mr Gorbachev. Rebuild that wall! And make Mexico pay".
