Donald Trump promised a 'new golden age of America' after being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday.
'The decline is over,' he told about 600 allies, dignitaries and family members inside the U.S. Capitol building.
He used his inaugural address to balance the idea of an optimistic new dawn with his long-standing accusations that he was the target of a weaponized justice system and to promise a sweeping crackdown on illegal immigration.
'As we gather today, our government confronts a crisis of trust,' he said.
'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 in complete disrepair.'
As Arctic temperatures blasted Washington, D.C., outside, Trump was surrounded by the Washington political establishment, tech titans, and MAGA allies for his inauguration inside the Capitol building.
It offered a visual illustration of how the one-time political outsider has conquered Washington in an extraordinary political comeback, becoming only the second president in history to win non-consecutive terms.
Where in 2017, his 'American carnage' speech conjured a bleak image of a nation in an abyss of rampant crime, abandoned factories, and a failed education system, this time he said he was 'confident and optimistic' that a 'tide of change is sweeping the country.'

Shock and awe.
May God Bless Our President Donald J Trump.
I feel so much better today than I did yesterday.
He gave Brandon both barrels multiple times but I doubt he was coherent enough to know it.
When they showed taterhead leaving on the helicopter I mooned my TV. Lol!
So do I
Let’s hope so, but Trump can bring in the best possible policies, but nothing improves until the bad money works itself out of the economy or the growth of the economy catches up to the money supply or both.

Migrants waiting in Mexico for an appointment with the Biden administration’s CBP One app broke down in tears after learning their appointments were canceled immediately as President Trump took office on Monday.
CBP One went offline at 12 p.m. EST Monday, according to an announcement from Customs and Border Protection. It’s just one small part of Trump’s promises to make sweeping reforms at the southern border beginning the first day of his second term.
The app allowed tens of thousands of migrants into the US. Up to 1,450 migrants per day were allowed to schedule immigration appointments and request asylum in the US via the app.
Footage from a Washington Post reporter in Mexico shows migrants who had been waiting for appointments weeping at the gates of America after their appointments were canceled.

I am in awe of his speech. I love this guy more than ever!
The looks on the Democrats faces were hysterical. I’m sipping on Democrat tears for the remainder of the day. 😏
It was a great speech and even better since he listened to Meliana in keeping it on higher ground. I loved the number of thumbs he stuck in the eyes of democraps anyway. Time for a full up victory lap or 20.
Great speech - and what a great day for America!
As the lefties said in 2017 - the adults are back in charge.
Biden looks like a feeble old man (which he is) - his wife looks completely dejected, she didn’t want to give up her cushy life in the White House.
Just took my dogs out for a walk - saw an upside down American flag flying on a house about three doors down from mine. Two elderly people live there, most likely old lefties from the 60s - they are not friendly.
We all do at this point.
Did your dogs leave them a gift?
Remember, this is a cancer he is trying to remove. After surgery there is chemotherapy. But the cancer is only in remission. Let us hope Vance is elected for two terms behind him so we can have the full chemotherapy regime.
It’s habbening, already ...
No, no chemo ... more like Ivermectin and Fenbendazole!!
Mrs. Fonebone, who doesn’t have a political bone in her body, told me this morning she can’t wait to for him in 4 years
Me too. This is a dream come true.
I thought it was a great speech and he did give it to Biden with both barrels.
