With this speech, President Trump proves he meant everything he said on the campaign trail. He wasn't just saying what people wanted to hear in order to get elected, like most politicians, only to turn his back on all the promises once in office.
President Trump just signalled to the entire shocked establishment that he's serious about every one of his promises, that he's going to Drain the Swamp, and that he is, indeed THE PEOPLES' PRESIDENT.
Does an American Citizen's heart good:
Here's the speech:
* * * * *
"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 to restore its promise for all of our people.
Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for 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.
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 American 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.
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 the just and reasonable demands of 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 landscape of our nation; an education system
flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students
deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and 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 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 disappeared over the horizon.
One
by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a
thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left
behind.
The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world.
But
that is the past. And now we are looking only to the future. We
assembled here today are 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 moment on, it's going to be 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 for everyone to follow.
We
will reinforce old alliances and form new ones -- and 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 honestly, 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 are 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 let anyone tell you 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 energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.
A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights, and heal our divisions.
It
is 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 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, and 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 wealthy again.
We will make America proud again.
We will make America safe again.
And yes, together, we will make America great again. Thank you. God bless you. And God bless America."
