The president has declared that “America’s decline is over” and promised to take immediate action, including establishing a national emergency at the US-Mexico border.
As he returns to the White House with “a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal,” Trump said in his inaugural address that he feels “confident and optimistic” about the last four years under his predecessor, Joe Biden.
Trump announced that he would sign a number of executive orders to strengthen domestic energy, crack down on the border, and terminate government-mandated diversity programs after the ceremonial, peaceful handover of power.
He declared, “The golden age of America begins right now,” from the US Capitol Rotunda, where the ceremony had been rescheduled because of the frigid temperatures.
