President Donald Trump's full
inaugural address remarks.
Chief Justice Roberts, President
Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans,
and people of the world, thank you. We the citizens of America are now joined
in a great national effort to rebuild our country and restore its promise for
all of our people. Together we will determine the course of America, and the
world, for many, many years to come. We will face challenges. We will confront
hardships, but we will get the job done.
Every four years, we gather on these
steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are
grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious
aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent. Thank you.
Today's ceremony, however, has very
special meaning, because today we are not merely transferring power from one
administration to another, or from one party to another, but we are
transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the
people.
For too long, a small group in our
nation's capital has reaped the rewards of government, while the people have
borne the cost. Washington flourished, but the people did not share in its
wealth. Politicians prospered, but the jobs left and the factories closed. The
establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country. Their
victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs have not been your
triumphs, and while they celebrated in our nation's capital, there was little
to celebrate for struggling families all across our land. That all changes,
starting right here and right now, because this moment is your moment --- it
belongs to you. It belongs to everyone gathered here today, and everyone
watching, all across America. This is your day. This is your celebration, and
this, the United States of America, is your country.
By Louis Nelson, Madeline Conway and Eli Stokols
What truly matters is not which
party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the
people. January 20th, 2017 will be remembered as the day the people became the
rulers of this nation again. The forgotten men and women of our country, will
be forgotten no longer. Everyone is listening to you now. You came by the tens
of millions to become part of a historic movement, the likes of which the world
has never seen before. At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction,
that a nation exists to serve its citizens. Americans want great schools for
their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for
themselves. These are just and reasonable demands of righteous people and a
righteous public, but for too many of our citizens a different reality exists.
Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities, rusted out
factories, scattered like tombstones across the across the landscape of our
nation, an education system flush with cash, but which leaves our young and
beautiful students deprived of all knowledge, and the crime, and the gangs, and
the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much
unrealized potential. This American carnage stops right here and stops right
now.
We are one nation and their pain is
our pain. Their dreams are our dreams and their success will be our success. We
share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny. The oath of office, I take
today, is an oath of allegiance to all Americans. For many decades, we've
enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry, subsidized the
armies of other countries, while allowing for the very sad depletion of our
military. We've defended other nation's borders while refusing to defend our
own. And spent trillions and trillions of dollars overseas, while America's
infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay. We've made other countries
rich while the wealth, strength and confidence of our country has dissipated
over the horizon. One by one, the factories shuddered and left our shores, with
not even a thought about the millions and millions of American workers that
were left behind. The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their
homes and then redistributed all across the world.
But that is the past, and now we are
looking only to the future. We assembled here today our issuing a new decree to
be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power,
from this day forward: a new vision will govern our land, from this day
forward, it's going to be only America first. America first.
Every decision on trade, on taxes,
on immigration, on foreign affairs will be made to benefit American workers and
American families. We must protect our borders from the ravages of other
countries making our products, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs.
Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength. I will fight for you
with every breath in my body, and I will never, ever let you down. America will
start winning again, winning like never before. We will bring back our jobs. We
will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth, and we will bring
back our dreams. We will build new roads and highways and bridges and airports
and tunnels, and railways, all across our wonderful nation. We will get our
people off of welfare and back to work, rebuilding our country with American
hands and American labor.
We will follow two simple rules: buy
American, and hire American. We will seek friendship and goodwill with the
nations of the world, but we do so with the understanding that it is the right
of all nations to put their own interests first. We do not seek to impose our
way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example. We will shine
for everyone to follow. We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones, and
you unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will
eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.
At the bedrock of our politics will
be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty
to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other. When you open
your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice. The Bible tells us,
how good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity. We must
speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements, but always pursue solidarity.
When America is united, America is totally unstoppable. There should be no
fear. We are protected, and we will always be protected. We will be protected
by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement. And most importantly,
we will be protected by God.
Finally, we must think big and dream
even bigger. In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as
it is striving. We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no
action, constantly complaining but never doing anything about it. The time for
empty talk is over. Now arrives the hour of action. Do not allow anyone to tell
you that it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and
spirit of America. We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.
We stand at the birth of a new
millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the
miseries of disease and to harness the industries and technologies of tomorrow.
A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights and heal our
divisions. It's time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never
forget, that whether we are black, or brown, or white, we all bleed the same
red blood of patriots. We all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all
salute the same, great American flag. And whether a child is born in the urban
sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the at
the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams and they are
infused with the breath of life by the same almighty creator.
So to all Americans, in every city
near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, from ocean to ocean,
hear these words. You will never be ignored again. Your voice, your hopes, and
your dreams will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and
love, will forever guide us along the way. Together, we will make America
strong again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America proud
again We will make America safe again, And yes, together, we will make we will
make America great again. Thank you. God bless you. And god bless America.
Thank you. God bless America.
