Original content
Thank you very, very much.
Vice President Vance, Speaker Johnson, Senator Thune,
Chief Justice Roberts, justices of the United
States Supreme Court, President Clinton, President
Bush, President Obama, President Biden, Vice
President Harris, and my fellow citizens.
The golden age of America begins right now.
From this day forward, our country will flourish and
be respected again all over the world.
We will be the envy of every nation, and we will
not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any
longer.
During every single day of the Trump administration,
I will very simply put America first.
Our sovereignty will be reclaimed.
Our safety will be restored.
The scales of justice will be rebalanced.
The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of
the Justice Department and our government will end.
And our top priority will be to create a nation that
is proud, prosperous, and free.
America will soon be greater, stronger, and far
more exceptional than ever before.
I return to the presidency confident and optimistic
that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of
national success.
A tide of change is sweeping the country,
sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and
America has the chance to seize this opportunity
like never before.
But first, we must be honest about the
challenges we face.
While they are plentiful, they will be annihilated
by this great momentum that the world is now
witnessing in the United States of America.
As we gather today, our government confronts a
crisis of trust.
For many years, a radical and corrupt establishment
has extracted power and wealth from our citizens
while the pillars of our society lay broken and
seemingly in complete disrepair.
We now have a government that cannot manage even a
simple crisis at home, while at the same time
stumbling into a continuing catalogue of
catastrophic events abroad.
It fails to protect our magnificent, law-abiding
American citizens, but provides sanctuary and
protection for dangerous criminals, many from
prisons and mental institutions, that have
illegally entered our country from all over
the world.
We have a government that has given unlimited
funding to the defense of foreign borders, but
refuses to defend American borders or, more
importantly, its own people.
Our country can no longer deliver basic services in
times of emergency, as recently shown by the
wonderful people of North Carolina, who have been
treated so badly, and other states who are still
suffering from a hurricane that took place many months
ago, or more recently, Los Angeles, where we are
watching fires still tragically burn.
From weeks ago, without even a token of defense,
they’re raging through the houses and communities,
even affecting some of the wealthiest and most
powerful individuals in our country, some of whom
are sitting here right now.
They don’t have a home any longer.
That’s interesting.
But we can’t let this happen.
Everyone is unable to do anything about it that’s
going to change.
We have a public health system that does not
deliver in times of disaster, yet more money is
spent on it than any country anywhere in the world.
And we have an education system that teaches our
children to be ashamed of themselves, in many cases,
to hate our country, despite the love that we
try so desperately to provide to them.
All of this will change starting today, and it will
change very quickly.
Thank you.
My recent election is a mandate to completely and
totally reverse a horrible betrayal, and all of
these many betrayals that have taken place, and to
give the people back their faith, their wealth, their
democracy, and indeed, their freedom.
From this moment on, America’s decline is over.
Our liberties and our nation’s glorious destiny
will no longer be denied, and we will immediately
restore the integrity, competency, and loyalty of
America’s government.
Over the past eight years, I have been tested and
challenged more than any president in our 250-year
history, and I’ve learned a lot along the way.
The journey to reclaim our republic has not been an
easy one, that I can tell you.
Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take
my freedom, and indeed, to take my life.
Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania
field, an assassin’s bullet ripped through my ear.
But I felt then, and believe even more so now,
that my life was saved for a reason.
I was saved by God to make America great again.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
That is why each day under our administration of American
patriots, we will be working to meet every crisis with dignity
and power and strength.
We will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope,
prosperity, safety, and peace for citizens of every race,
religion, color, and creed.
For American citizens, January 20th, 2025, is Liberation Day.
It is my hope that our recent presidential election
will be remembered as the greatest
and most consequential election in the history of our country.
As our victory showed, the entire nation
is rapidly unifying behind our agenda with dramatic increases
in support from virtually every element of our society,
young and old, men and women, African Americans,
Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, urban, suburban,
rural, and very importantly, we had a powerful win
in all seven swing states, and the popular vote
we won by millions of people.
To the Black and Hispanic communities,
I want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love
and trust that you have shown me with your vote.
We set records, and I will not forget it.
I’ve heard your voices in the campaign,
and I look forward to working with you in the years to come.
Today is Martin Luther King Day, and his honor,
this will be a great honor.
But in his honor, we will strive together
to make his dream a reality.
We will make his dream come true.
Thank you.
Thank you.
National unity is now returning to America,
and confidence and pride is soaring like never before.
In everything we do, my administration will be inspired
by a strong pursuit of excellence
and unrelenting success.
We will not forget our country,
we will not forget our Constitution,
and we will not forget our God.
Can’t do that.
Today, I will sign a series of historic executive orders.
With these actions, we will begin the complete restoration
of America and the revolution of common sense.
It’s all about common sense.
First, I will declare a national emergency
at our southern border.
All illegal entry will immediately be halted,
and we will begin the process of returning millions
and millions of criminal aliens
back to the places from which they came.
We will reinstate my remain-in-Mexico policy.
I will end the practice of catch and release.
And I will send troops to the southern border
to repel the disastrous invasion of our country.
Under the orders I signed today,
we will also be designating the cartels
as foreign terrorist organizations.
And by invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798,
I will direct our government to use the full and immense power
of federal and state law enforcement
to eliminate the presence of all foreign gangs
and criminal networks,
bringing devastating crime to U.S. soil,
including our cities and inner cities.
As Commander-in-Chief, I have no higher responsibility
than to defend our country from threats and invasions,
and that is exactly what I am going to do.
We will do it at a level that nobody has ever seen before.
Next, I will direct all members of my Cabinet to marshal
the vast powers at their disposal
to defeat what was record inflation
and rapidly bring down costs and prices.
The inflation crisis was caused by massive overspending
and escalating energy prices,
and that is why today I will also declare
a national energy emergency.
We will drill, baby, drill.
America will be a manufacturing nation once again,
and we have something that no other manufacturing nation
will ever have, the largest amount of oil and gas
of any country on Earth, and we are going to use it.
Let me use it.
We will bring prices down,
fill our strategic reserves up again, right to the top,
and export American energy all over the world.
We will be a rich nation again,
and it is that liquid gold under our feet
that will help to do it.
With my actions today, we will end the Green New Deal
and we will revoke the electric vehicle mandate,
saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge
to our great American auto workers.
In other words, you’ll be able to buy the car of your choice.
We will build automobiles in America again
at a rate that nobody could have dreamt possible
just a few years ago.
And thank you to the auto workers of our nation
for your inspiring vote of confidence.
We did tremendously with their vote.
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.
For this purpose, we are establishing
the external revenue service to collect all tariffs,
duties, and revenues.
It will be massive amounts of money
pouring into our treasury coming from foreign sources.
The American dream will soon be back and thriving
like never before to restore competence
and effectiveness to our federal government.
My administration will establish
the brand new Department of Government Efficiency.
After years and years of illegal
and unconstitutional federal efforts
to restrict free expression,
I will also sign an executive order
to immediately stop all government censorship
and bring back free speech to America.
Never again will the immense power of the state
be weaponized to persecute political opponents.
Something I know something about.
We will not allow that to happen.
It will not happen again.
Under my leadership, we will restore fair,
equal, and impartial justice
under the constitutional rule of law.
And we are going to bring law and order back to our cities.
This week, I will also end the government policy
of trying to socially engineer race and gender
into every aspect of public and private life.
We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based.
As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy
of the United States government
that there are only two genders, male and female.
This week, I will reinstate any service members
who were unjustly expelled from our military
for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate
with full back pay.
And I will sign an order to stop our warriors
from being subjected to radical political theories
and social experiments while on duty.
It’s going to end immediately.
Our armed forces will be free to focus on their sole mission
defeating America’s enemies.
Like in 2017, we will again build the strongest military
the world has ever seen.
We will measure our success not only by the battles we win,
but also by the wars that we end,
and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.
My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier.
That’s what I want to be, a peacemaker and a unifier.
I’m pleased to say that as of yesterday,
one day before I assumed office,
the hostages in the Middle East
are coming back home to their families.
America will reclaim its rightful place
as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on Earth,
inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world.
A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name
of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America,
and we will restore the name of a great president,
William McKinley, to Mount McKinley,
where it should be and where it belongs.
President McKinley made our country very rich
through tariffs and through talent.
He was a natural businessman and gave Teddy Roosevelt the money
for many of the great things he did,
including the Panama Canal, which has foolishly been given
to the country of Panama after the United States.
The United States, I mean, think of this,
spent more money than ever spent on a project before
and lost 38,000 lives in the building of the Panama Canal.
We have been treated very badly from this foolish gift
that should have never been made,
and Panama’s promise to us has been broken.
The purpose of our deal and the spirit of our treaty
has been totally violated.
American ships are being severely overcharged
and not treated fairly in any way, shape, or form,
and that includes the United States Navy.
And above all, China is operating the Panama Canal,
and we didn’t give it to China.
We gave it to Panama, and we’re taking it back.
Above all, my message to Americans today is that
it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor,
and the vitality of history’s greatest civilization.
So as we liberate our nation, we will lead it to new heights
of victory and success.
We will not be deterred.
Together, we will end the chronic disease epidemic
and keep our children safe, healthy, and disease-free.
The United States will once again consider itself
a growing nation, one that increases our wealth,
expands our territory, builds our cities,
raises our expectations, and carries our flag
into new and beautiful horizons.
And we will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars,
launching American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes
on the planet Mars.
Ambition is the lifeblood of a great nation,
and right now our nation is more ambitious than any other.
There’s no nation like our nation.
Americans are explorers, builders, innovators,
entrepreneurs, and pioneers.
The spirit of the frontier is written into our hearts.
The call of the next great adventure resounds
from within our souls.
Our American ancestors turned a small group of colonies
on the edge of a vast continent into a mighty republic
of the most extraordinary citizens on Earth.
No one comes close.
Americans push thousands of miles through a rugged land
of untamed wilderness.
They cross deserts, scaled mountains, braved untold dangers,
won the Wild West, ended slavery,
rescued millions from tyranny, lifted billions from poverty,
harnessed electricity, split the atom,
launched mankind into the heavens,
and put the universe of human knowledge
into the palm of the human hand.
If we work together, there is nothing we cannot do
and no dream we cannot achieve.
Many people thought it was impossible for me
to stage such a historic political comeback,
but as you see today, here I am.
The American people have spoken.
I stand before you now as proof that you should never believe
that something is impossible to do.
In America, the impossible is what we do best.
From New York to Los Angeles, from Philadelphia to Phoenix,
from Chicago to Miami, from Houston to right here
in Washington, D.C., our country was forged and built
by the generations of patriots who gave everything they had
for our rights and for our freedom.
They were farmers and soldiers, cowboys and factory workers,
steelworkers and coal miners, police officers and pioneers
who pushed onward, marched forward,
and let no obstacle defeat their spirit or their pride.
Together they laid down the railroads,
raised up the skyscrapers, built great highways,
won two world wars, defeated fascism and communism,
and triumphed over every single challenge that they faced.
After all we have been through together,
we stand on the verge of the four greatest years
in American history.
With your help we will restore America’s promise
and we will rebuild the nation that we love,
and we love it so much.
We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation
under God, so to every parent who dreams for their child
and every child who dreams for their future,
I am with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you.
We are going to win like never before.
In recent years our nation has suffered greatly,
but we are going to bring it back and make it great again,
greater than ever before.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
In recent years our nation has suffered greatly,
but we are going to bring it back and make it great again,
greater than ever before.
We will be a nation like no other,
full of compassion, courage, and exceptionalism.
Our power will stop all wars and bring a new spirit of unity
to a world that has been angry, violent, and totally unpredictable.
America will be respected again and admired again,
including by people of religion, faith, and goodwill.
We will be prosperous.
We will be proud.
We will be strong, and we will win like never before.
We will not be conquered.
We will not be intimidated.
We will not be broken, and we will not fail.
From this day on, the United States of America
will be a free, sovereign, and independent nation.
We will stand bravely.
We will live proudly.
We will dream boldly, and nothing will stand in our way
because we are Americans, the future is ours,
and our golden age has just begun.
Thank you.
God bless America.
Thank you all.
Thank you.
