Washington, D.C., Jan 21, (V7N) – Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday, marking the beginning of his second term. In his inaugural address, Trump expressed a strong message of optimism, calling it a "mandate" to reverse what he described as the "horrible betrayal" of the past. He promised to restore America's strength, wealth, democracy, and freedom, and declared, "From this moment on, America's decline is over."
 
Trump’s remarks echoed themes from his first term, as he painted a grim picture of the nation under the Biden administration, which he labeled as a "radical and corrupt establishment." Trump promised to overhaul the economy, redefine America’s role in the world, and confront challenges such as illegal immigration, territorial expansion, and energy independence.
 
The newly inaugurated president immediately began taking action, signing executive orders aimed at securing the southern border, limiting birthright citizenship, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Trump also spoke about reclaiming the Panama Canal and exploring new frontiers, such as planting the American flag on Mars.
 
At 78, Trump is the oldest president ever inaugurated, but he entered office with more confidence and experience than before. His second term promises to be more ambitious, with an agenda focusing on national security, economic growth, and social issues. He will also deal with a divided political landscape, with both allies and critics positioning themselves in response to his presidency.
 
In his speech, Trump did not mention the Democratic Party or offer a message of unity, though his administration has already gained support from key figures, including tech giants like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Tim Cook, who were present at the inauguration.
 
Trump’s second term follows an unprecedented political comeback. Just four years ago, he left office after the January 6th Capitol riot, which was fueled by his rhetoric. Now, back in power, Trump is focused on fulfilling the promises he made during his 2024 campaign.
 
Despite a politically charged atmosphere, including the presence of former presidents and leaders from both parties, Trump's inauguration marks a new chapter in American politics. The world watches as he embarks on a mission to reshape the future of the nation.
 
This marks the beginning of what Trump promises will be a "golden age" for America.
