Overview of Trump’s inaugural speech

US President Donald Trump has taken the mantle of leadership of the most powerful country in the world.
DAILY POST reports that Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States in Capitol.

In his inaugural speech, the 78-year-old vowed to prioritise Americans above all else.

He declared that the era of America’s decline was over, pledging that his administration would act swiftly to restore hope to Americans.

The Republican also vowed to usher in a new era of American greatness, saying that he would sign a raft of executive actions in his first hours in office.

Trump, who returned to the White House for the second time after being defeated in 2020, said God saved him during the assassination attempt on his life to come and make America great again.

Similarly, Trump vowed to embrace trade wars, pledging to impose tariffs and taxes on other countries.

“I will immediately begin the overhaul of our trade system to protect American workers and families. Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens,” Trump said.

Speaking further, the newly inaugurated US president said he would deport millions of criminal aliens who have entered the United States illegally.

“All illegal entries will be immediately halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came,” Trump declared in the presence of four former presidents, including Biden.

He noted that his government would move swiftly to bring back hope to Americans, reiterating that he would immediately sign executive orders to protect US borders.

“The golden age of America began right now. From this day, America will flourish.

“I will very simply put Americans first,” he stated.
