President Trump on Saturday morning thanked Fox News for positively reviewing his inauguration speech a day earlier.
 
“A fantastic day and evening in Washington D.C.Thank you to @FoxNews and so many other news outlets for the GREAT reviews of the speech!” Trump tweeted, in the first public message of his first full day as president.

Trump occasionally feuded with Fox during the campaign — especially former host Megyn Kelly — but frequently found support from on-air personalities including Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and the hosts of “Fox & Friends.”
 
According to Slate, Fox News commentators and analysts on Friday called Trump’s inaugural address “muscular,” “unifying,” “just masterful” and “completely nonpartisan” at various times, with one guest comparing the new president to Abraham Lincoln.
 
Trump in his Friday speech pledged to embark on “a great national effort to rebuild our country and restore its promise for all of our people.”
 
“We are transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the people,” he said as rain fell over the nation’s capital.  
 
Trump painted a bleak picture of a nation in crisis, plagued by “American carnage” caused by crime at home and the threat of terrorism from abroad. 
 
But he sought to rally the country behind his “America first” vision, which he promised would bring about a brighter future. 
 
“From this moment on, it’s going to be America first,” he said. “I will fight for you with every breath in my body, and I will never, ever let you down. America will start winning again, winning like never before.”

If I could write this whole recap with emojis, there'd be several varieties of hearts, the running man, the dancing woman, and lots and lots of fires and heart-eyed faces. Those creepy dancing twin girls would also make an appearance. And there'd be a gun. My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j
