"Let's say he set all of that up and then he went into this speech," Scarborough said.

"Then, we would be in more of a position to talk about what this speech really was."

Scarborough called Trump's inaugural speech "radical" and "breathtaking."

He said Trump's speech was unlike any previous inaugural speeches, noting the president spoke to a lot of concerns that Americans have had.

"The problem is, he delivers this speech and again there is no one around him with any institutional knowledge of what these are about," Scarborough said.

"Let me explain to people working for Donald Trump. You, writing a speech for your boss, without mentioning history, without alluding to the past, without talking about this as part of an unbroken chain of events going back over 240 years," he continued.

"That is like going to a Christmas Eve service where the priest forgets to talk about baby Jesus."

During his inaugural address, the president pledged to embark on "a great national effort to rebuild our country and restore its promise for all of our people."

In it, he vowed to deliver on his promise to take on the establishment in Washington and deliver results for Americans forgotten by their leaders.

He depicted the country as a nation in crisis, plagued by "American carnage" caused by crime at home and the threat from terrorism abroad and sought to rally the country behind his "America first" vision.

Republicans and Democrats heard two different speeches from the president.

Democrats said the address painted a dark vision of an America that doesn't exist. On the other hand, many Republicans saw the address as a sign that the president plans to put the interest of the American people first.
