A Return to American Greatness

President Trump began with a clear message: the era of America’s decline is over. From this day forward, the United States will prioritize the interests of its citizens, placing “America First” in every decision. This includes restoring sovereignty, ensuring safety, and revitalizing the country’s sense of national pride. His confidence in a thrilling new era was evident as he declared that America is poised to seize opportunities like never before.


Addressing a Crisis of Trust

The President acknowledged the challenges facing the nation, including a broken trust in government. He criticized what he described as a corrupt establishment that has failed to manage crises at home and abroad. Trump highlighted issues such as:

  • A lack of preparedness for natural disasters.
  • Mismanagement of public health and education systems.
  • The prioritization of foreign interests over domestic needs.

He promised swift changes to rebuild trust and restore faith in the government.


Bold Actions to Secure the Nation

In his first acts as President, Trump announced a series of executive orders aimed at tackling key issues:

  1. National Security:
    • Declaring a national emergency at the southern border.

  4. Restoring Freedom:
    • Signing orders to end government censorship and uphold free speech.
    • Reinstating service members expelled over COVID-19 vaccine mandates with full back pay.

A Vision of National Unity
