Donald Trump Sworn in as 47th President, Promises a ‘Golden Age’ for America

WASHINGTON, D.C. Donald Trump was sworn in on Monday as the 47th president of the United States, marking a historic return to the White House. In a ceremony moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda due to frigid weather, Trump delivered an inaugural address focused on a “revolution of common sense” and a pledge to usher in a “golden age” for the nation.

“I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success,” Trump declared. “A tide of change is sweeping the country. 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.”

Trump’s path to a second term was nothing short of extraordinary. After winning the Electoral College and popular vote in a landslide victory over former Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump emerged stronger despite surviving two assassination attempts during the campaign.

• July 2024: Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally when a bullet grazed the upper part of his right ear.

• September 2024: A second would-be assassin armed with an AK-47 was apprehended at Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Despite these incidents, Trump maintained his focus, crediting his resilience to the unwavering support of the American people and the Secret Service’s vigilance.

Trump’s presidency begins with a sweeping agenda. On his first day, he is set to sign over 200 executive orders addressing critical issues, including:

• Border Security: Ending “catch and release” and prioritizing deportations.

• Energy Independence: Pausing offshore wind leases, terminating the electric vehicle mandate, and abolishing the Green New Deal.

• Cost of Living: Implementing measures to ease financial burdens on American families.

• Bureaucratic Overhaul: Ending DEI programs across the federal government and reasserting presidential control.

• Climate Policy: Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord.

Trump’s bold actions are aimed at reversing Biden-era policies and restoring what he calls the “America First” framework that defined his first term.

Trump’s return to power was fueled by a decisive campaign against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. After a disastrous debate performance, Biden withdrew from the race in July 2024, endorsing Harris to lead the Democratic ticket. However, Harris failed to gain traction, paving the way for Trump’s historic victory alongside his running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH).

As Trump assumes office, he promises to deliver results for the American people while restoring strength and stability at home and abroad. His administration’s focus on bold reforms reflects the president’s determination to lead the nation into a new era of prosperity.
