Golden age of America begins right now, says President Trump in inaugural address

From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world, says the US President

Washington: Donald J Trump was on Monday sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, marking his remarkable return to power for a second term, four years after he left the American capital as a pariah.

“The golden age of America begins right now,” Trump said in his inaugural address. “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,” he said.

The 78-year-old Republican leader vowed to put America “first”. “The scales of justice will be re-balanced. The vicious, violent and unfair weaponisation of the justice department and government will end,” he said.

Trump storms back to White House with a strongman persona with the vision of an all-powerful presidency and also with a promise to aggressively reset US policies in a range of domains including immigration, tariffs, and energy. “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” Trump said in his oath.
