Quotations from President Trump's Inaugural Address, 2025:
"
From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.
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 catalog of catastrophic events abroad.
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.
From this moment on, America’s decline is over.
Over the past eight years I have been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250-year history.
I was saved by God to make America great again.
We will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety and peace for citizens of every race, religion, color and creed.
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.
We will not forget our country, we will not forget our constitution, and we will not forget our God.
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.
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.
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.
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
We will bring prices down
With my actions today, we will end the Green New Deal and we will revoke the electric vehicle mandate
... we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens
I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America.
Under my leadership, we will restore fair, equal and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law.
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.
My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier.
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.
And we’re taking it (the Panama Canal) back.
Together we will end the chronic disease epidemic and keep our children safe, healthy and disease-free.
And we will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars.
We are going to win like never before.
From this day on, the United States of America will be a free, sovereign and independent nation.
