[On-Site Video+] Trump's inaugural speech, "America's national interest first, will regain its sovereignty"

[Donald Trump / President of the United States]
Thank you very much, everyone.

Vice President Vance, House Speaker Johnson, Senate Majority Leader, Chief Justice Roberts, Supreme Court Justices, Mr. Clinton, Mr. Bush, Mr. Obama, Mr. Biden, Mr. Harris, and our respected citizens, America's golden age is beginning.

Starting today, the United States will be a prosperous country, a country respected by the world.

No country will sit idly by and no longer be treated unfairly by the United States.

During the Trump administration, I will put the national interest of the United States first.

It will regain the sovereignty of the United States.

The United States will be a safe country again.

You will find the balance of justice again.

The wrong practice of using the Ministry of Justice as a weapon of targeted investigation will also be put to an end. The top priority is to make America a proud, free, and prosperous country in building it.

The United States will be a stronger and more special country than ever.

I am moved and excited that I am now in a new era of revival as president again.

I was congratulated by countries around the world, and now we all have a more precious opportunity than ever.

But before we look back on that opportunity, we will have to see what challenges we face.

Current power may be lost.

The world is watching the U.S. move now.

Currently, the United States is facing a trust crisis.

Radical and corrupt vested interests have taken undue advantage.

And ordinary people were unilaterally damaged and the infrastructure of the United States was neglected.

Now the U.S. government has not been able to properly solve even a simple crisis at home. In addition, the United States has experienced a series of disastrous failures abroad.

The U.S. government has failed to defend the law and has rather taken dangerous criminals from foreign countries and protected them in some cities.

Illegal immigrants are pouring in from all over the world.

They poured in unlimited funds, protecting only other countries and not defending the U.S. border.

Above all, it did not guarantee the safety of American citizens.

Even the most basic services are not being provided by the United States.

As the recent crisis shows, North Carolina's citizens have suffered a lot because of it.

In other states, many people have been suffering from hurricanes for months.

Most recently, a firestorm has caused a great deal of tragic damage in Los Angeles.

A few weeks ago, a firestorm engulfed houses and residential areas. Despite being the strongest country in the world, I gave in too helplessly to the fire.

Countless citizens lost their homes.

Now they've lost their living ground.

This should never happen again.

All citizens should be able to carve out their own destiny.

The current medical services and medical systems are currently not properly protected against this disaster and have wasted a lot of taxpayers' money.

The U.S. education system also shows only one aspect of America's shameful history.

I'm only growing hatred for the country.

The education that is most necessary is not being given. From today, we will immediately correct this reality without delay.

My victory in the presidential election illustrates what responsibilities citizens have given me. My victory has shown that the history of betrayal in the past must be liquidated.

Now citizens can trust the United States again, and the United States should be a strong country again, a country on solid democracy.

From this moment on, the moment of America's decline is over.

We must continue to realize the freedom of the United States and the glorious fate of the nation.

In addition, the U.S. government system will have to be reformed.

In the last few years, there have been more ordeals than any other president in the 250-year history.

In the process, I realized that it was never easy to defend and re-protect the Republic of the United States.

Those who stand in the way of the sublime task are trying to disrupt my steps and take away my body.

A few years ago, a bullet passed by in Pennsylvania.

But what I felt at the time and I'm more confident now is that there's a reason why I saved my life.

I immediately realized that I was given a mission by God to make America a great country again.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Now I will be the president for patriots in the United States. I will remember the potential of the United States in facing a crisis and deal with it resolutely.

I will return hope, prosperity, and peace to the citizens of the United States.

We will make sure that all citizens, regardless of their skin color, can realize their opportunities.

January 20, 2025 will be the day of liberation for American citizens.

Let's hope the recent presidential election will go down in American history as the most successful and momentous election.

As my victory has shown, the United States is quickly coming together.

And everyone is sympathetic to my state philosophy.

People of all ages, young and old, Hispanic, African-American, Asian-American and urban and rural residents supported me. Also, citizens of seven competing states supported me, and I was elected by more than millions of votes in the total number of voters.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Hispanic citizens and black people for the full trust you have shown me.

We have achieved a new record.

I will listen to your voice.

I will never forget your opinions and voices on the campaign trail.

It's the death of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. today.

It's truly an honor to be inaugurated.

You will have to accept him and realize your dream of becoming a pastor Martin Luther King.

Pastor Martin Luther King's dream should be our reality.

Thank you.

The United States is coming together again.

Again, Americans are proud of America as they inspire patriotism for their country.

The most basic principle of the Trump administration is that it will constantly strive for success.

America will never forget its citizens and the Constitution.

Above all, God America will never forget.

I will sign a series of historic executive orders today.

Through the implementation of executive orders like this, we will restore the United States completely and make common sense a country right again.

First, I will declare a national emergency at the southern border.

All illegal aliens will be subject to crackdown, while millions of criminals, foreign criminals, will be returned to their home countries.

The U.S. government will also reimpose its Remain in Mexico policy.

It will also put an end to the policy of release after arrest.

The U.S. government will dispatch troops to the southern border to thoroughly block criminals from pouring through the border.

In accordance with the executive order I am signing today, I will designate the cartel as a foreign terrorist organization.

In addition, by using foreigners-related laws, we will make full use of the government's authority to eradicate overseas criminal organizations.

It will thoroughly prevent them from committing crimes on American soil and rattling them in American cities.

As the commander-in-chief, I was given a heavy responsibility to defend the United States.

Protecting the border is my duty as commander-in-chief.

It's a more important mission than ever.

It will also ensure that all ministers of the administration will keep prices under control through the powers granted by the law.

The cause of the inflation crisis is government overspending and soaring energy prices.

To prevent this, I will declare a national energy emergency.

We will continue drilling for oil and gas.

The United States will become a manufacturing powerhouse again.

It has the potential that no manufacturing country has.

The largest oil and gas reserves in the world exist in the United States.

Inflation, price control, release strategic reserves, and export U.S. energy to countries around the world.

The United States will be a rich country again.

The black gold under my feet now will make America a rich country again.

Now, in accordance with the executive order I sign, I will end the Green New Deal and remove the EV mandate.

It will also protect the fossil fuel industry and protect the workers of the automobile industry in the United States.

Now you will be able to purchase the car you want.

And now you're going to drill for oil and gas at a rate that's unimaginable as anyone else.

Thanks to the workers of the American automobile company, we have achieved great achievements.

I will overhaul the U.S. trade system and protect American citizens through major renovations without delay.

It will stop foreign companies from robbing U.S. citizens without calling another country's succession.

To that end, the U.S. government will set up an external revenue office to collect all customs fees and other foreign imports.

This huge tax source will help us realize America's dream as a tax source for the Treasury Department.

We will be able to have the pride and hope of the United States again.

The Trump administration will establish a new Department of Government Efficiency.

For too long, the federal government has illegally suppressed freedom of expression.

In accordance with the executive order I am signing today, I will stop censoring all governments and return freedom of expression and rights back to American citizens.

Now, we will ensure that the state will never again abuse its power and be used as a weapon of political targeted investigation. I became that victim.

And again, we won't see political retaliation and targeted investigation like this anymore. And I will protect the Constitution of the United States by realizing the principle of equality before the law.

America will restore law and order all over the country again.

This week's U.S. government will abolish existing policies and immediately stop harming citizens with race and gender policies through artificial social policies.

And I will make sure that everyone can exercise their abilities without discrimination on the grounds of race.

And as of today, under the official policy of the U.S. government, only two genders, male and female, will exist in the U.S.

This week, soldiers who have been unjustly discharged from the military will refuse to be vaccinated against COVID, allowing those who have been unjustly discharged to the military to return to the military.

I will also immediately stop US service members from being subject to critical race theory and social experiments under an executive order I sign.

Now the United States will be able to do its job.

The U.S. military will be able to concentrate on repelling the very American enemy.

As in 2017, the United States will again have the strongest military power in the world.

The standard of American success will not only be victory on the battlefield, but also the war that the United States ends.

And there will be no need for the United States to get caught up again in an unnecessary war.

My proudest legacy will come from building peace and uniting the nation.

Right before I took office, Hamas hostages in the Middle East were back in the arms of their families.

Thank you.

As the most powerful nation in the world, the United States will once again stand before another.

It will be a model for all countries and a country that is respected by all countries.

And it's only going to be the Americas in the Gulf of Mexico.

It will also be named Mount McKinley after President William McKinsey.

Thanks to President McKinley, the United States has become a rich country.

Through the introduction of tariffs, he inherited several legacies from Teddy Roosevelt and opened operations in Panama.

But this Panama operation was handed over by the United States in the hands of another country because of the stupid choice of the US government at the time.

Despite investing more money than any other country, 38,000 precious lives were sacrificed in the construction of the Panama Canal.

Panama also failed to keep its promise to the United States.

Also, the government of Panama has not properly followed the spirit of the treaty with Panama and has imposed excessive fees on the United States. It did not adhere to the principle of fairness at all, and it caused great damage to the U.S. Navy.

Now China is operating the Panama Canal.

It was taken away by China even though the U.S. handed over the canals of Panama, not China.

Now the U.S. will take back the Panama Canal.

Above all, the message I want to tell you is that we need to exercise our courage again and shake off everyone to build the greatest civilization.

As the greatest country in the world, we will have to conquer the new normal and achieve new success while fighting the epidemic without succumbing to adversity and ensuring that our children can enjoy healthy lives.

The United States will have to become a growing country again.

America should again be a rich country, a country that expands its territory, a country that looks higher than a country that builds a city, a country that advances beyond the beautiful horizon, and a country that fulfills its mission from God.

We will have to send astronauts back to the United States and let the American flag fly on Mars.

The achievement of these important goals will be on us all.

More than any other country, the United States will be an ambitious country.

American explorers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders have expanded their horizons.

The second great adventure lives and breathes in our souls.

The ancestors of the United States expanded a small colony into a huge continent, into a powerful republic, and into the greatest country in the world.

It's a feat that no other country has ever achieved. Beyond the rugged mountains, we pioneered nature.

Beyond deserts and mountains, we have overcome countless adversities and trials, conquered the West, saved millions more from the oppression of the monarchy, eradicated poverty, introduced electricity, discovered the power of nuclear power, while also bringing the universal wisdom of mankind into our hands.

Now, if we work hard, there are no dreams we can't achieve and there are no goals we can't achieve.

No one has ever seen me like this, many people have said it's impossible for me to come back politically like this, but American citizens have shown me firsthand that I'm not.

As I stand here today in front of you, I want to tell you that there is nothing impossible.

Overcoming the impossible is the true power of the United States. From New York to Los Angeles, from Fishcargo to Miami to Houston, and right over here in Washington, DC, the United States was built by the hands of generations of patriots.

Thanks to them, we were able to defend our rights and find freedom.

Soldiers, cowboys, and factory workers, police officers, and visionaries took the lead in rejecting the United States, demonstrating an indomitable spirit and will.

Thanks to them, the U.S. has built skyscrapers over railways, built highways, eradicated communism and fascism in two world wars, and the U.S. has overcome all adversities and hardships. In the process, all American citizens were united and, above all, in my last four years in office, the United States had its greatest period of all time.

Now, we will realize the promise of the United States over the next four years.

We will make sure that the U.S. can become a truly proud country.

As a family we are all God-given, we should now be a country where children can realize their dreams.

We will do our best to serve citizens for their rights and to become a president who can win and win.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Recently, the U.S. went through a big ordeal.

But America will be a great country again now.

Now America will be a special country full of passion and energy.

We will end all wars and again, in the spirit of unity, allow ourselves to get through the current violence and the crisis of uncertainty.

Also, through good faith and also through faith in religion, America will now be a rich, proud, and rich country again.

The United States will now be a victorious country. The U.S. will not yield without being threatened by any country. America will never break.

The United States will never fail again.

The United States will be an independent country that is free and defending its sovereignty.

The United States will rise up valiantly and grow into a proud nation, and nothing will stand in the way of the United States. The future of the United States is in our hands.

And the golden age has just begun.

Thank you.

May God bless and bless America. Thank you.

Thank you.
