Donald Trump Declares ‘America’s Decline Is Over’ After Being Sworn In as 47th US President
Donald Trump, 78, was sworn in on Monday for a historic second term as the 47th President of the United States, marking an extraordinary political comeback. With a raised hand and his other hand resting on a Bible gifted by his mother, Trump took the oath of office under the grand Rotunda of the US Capitol.
Addressing the nation moments after the ceremony, Trump declared, “The golden age of America begins now. We will be the envy of every nation. I will very simply put America first. Our sovereignty will be claimed, and the chaos of justice will be rebalanced. America’s decline is over.”
The ceremony was attended by several dignitaries, including four former US presidents, among them Trump’s immediate predecessor, Joe Biden.
Trump used the occasion to outline his priorities, pledging immediate executive actions on immigration, culture, and economic sovereignty. “America’s decline is over,” he said, reiterating his commitment to restoring the nation’s strength and global standing.
Trump also reflected on the challenges he faced leading up to this moment, including what he described as surviving assassination attempts. He reaffirmed his dedication to his “Make America Great Again” agenda, emphasizing the importance of faith, unity, and patriotism. “America won’t forget God during my administration,” he declared.
Trump’s swearing-in marks a remarkable return to the presidency, a feat achieved only by a handful of leaders in US history. His first term, from 2017 to 2021, was defined by a mix of controversial policies, economic growth, and deep political divisions. His reelection follows years of political campaigning and a renewed push to regain the White House.
As he embarks on his second term, Trump faces the challenge of uniting a deeply polarized nation while implementing his bold vision for America’s future. His supporters see his return as a victory for conservative values, while critics remain skeptical about his agenda and leadership style.
With his sights set on reclaiming America’s global standing and reinforcing its cultural identity, Trump’s presidency promises to be as impactful and polarizing as his first term.
