President Obama President Biden vice president Harris and my fellow citizens the Golden Age of America

begins right now from this day forward our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world we will be the Envy of every

nation and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer during every single day of the Trump

Administration I will very simply put America First our sovereignty will be reclaimed our safety will be restored the scales

of Justice will be rebalanced the vicious violent and unfair weaponization of the justice department and our government will

end and our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud prosperous and free America will soon be greater

stronger and far more exceptional than ever before I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at

the start of a thrilling New Era of national success a tired of change is sweeping the country sunlight is pouring over the entire world and America has

the chance to seize this opportunity like never before but first we must be honest about the challenges we face while they are plentiful they will be

annihilated by this great momentum that the world is now witnessing in the United States of America as we gathered today our government confronts a crisis of trust

for many years a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens while the pillars of our society lay broken and

seemingly incomplete disrepair we now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home while at the same time stumbling into a continuing catalog of

catastrophic events abroad it fails to protect our magnificent law-abiding American citizens but provide sanctuary and

protection for dangerous criminals many from prisons and mental institutions that have illegally entered our country from all over the world we have a government that has given

unlimited funding to the defense of foreign borders but refuses to defend American borders or more importantly its own people our country can no longer

deliver basic services in times of emergency as recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina been treated so

badly and other states who are still suffering from a hurricane that took place many months ago or more recently Los Angeles where we are watching fires

still tragically burn from weeks ago without even a token of defense they're raging through the houses and communities even affecting some of the wealthiest and most powerful

IND individuals in our country some of whom are sitting here right now they don't have a home any longer that's

interesting but we can't let this happen everyone is unable to do anything about it that's going to change we have a public health system that does not

deliver in times of disaster yet more money is spent on it than any country anywhere in the world and we have an education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves in

many cases to hate our country despite the love that we try so desperately to provide to them all of this will change

starting today and it will change very quickly my recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible

betrayal and all of these many betrayals that have taken place and to give the people back their faith their wealth

their democracy and indeed their freedom from this moment on America's decline is over

our liberties and our nation's glorious Destiny will no longer be denied and we will immediately restore the Integrity competency and loyalty of America's

government over the past eight years I have been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250e history

and I've learned a lot along the way the journey to reclaim our Republic has not been an easy one that I can tell you you

those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and indeed to take my life just a few months ago in a

beautiful Pennsylvania field an Assassin's bullet ripped through my ear but I felt then and believe even

more so now that my life was saved for a reason I was saved by God to make America great again thank you very

much that is why each day under our administration of American Patriots we will be working to meet every crisis

with dignity and power and strength we will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope Prosperity safety and

peace for citizens of every race religion color and Creed for American

citizens January 20th 2025 is liberation day it is my hope that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential

election in the history of our country as our Victory showed the entire nation is rapidly unifying behind our agenda with dramatic increases in

support from virtually every element of our society young and old men and women African-Americans Hispanic Americans

asian-americans Urban Suburban Rural and very importantly we had a powerful win in all seven swing States and the popular vote we won by

millions of people to the Black and Hispanic communities I want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and trust

that you have shown me with your vote we set records and I will not forget it I've heard your voices in the campaign and I look forward to working with you

direct all members of my cabinet to Marshall the vast powers that their disposal to defeat what was record inflation and rapidly bring down costs

place as the greatest most powerful most respected Nation on Earth inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world a

short time from now we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and we will restore the

name of a great President William McKinley to Mount McKinley where it should be and where it belongs President McKinley made our country very

rich through tariffs and through Talent he was a natural businessman and gave Teddy Roosevelt the money for many of the great things he did including the Panama

Canal which has foolishly been given to the country of Panama after the United States the United States I me think of this spent more money than ever spent

spent on a project before and lost 38,000 lives in the building of the Panama Canal we have been treated very badly from this foolish gift that should

have never been made and Panama's promise to us has been broken the purpose of our deal and the spirit of our treaty has been totally violated

American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way way shape or form and that

includes the United States Navy and above all China is operating the Panama Canal and we didn't give it to China we gave it to Panama and we're taking it

back above all my message to Americans today is that it is time for us to once again act with courage Vigor and the Vitality of History's Greatest

civilization so as we liberate our nation we will lead it to new heights of Victory and success we will not be deterred together
