  • Trump offered a scathing rebuke of his predecessor's term while laying out the immediate actions he plans to take on the first day of his second term in office.

Donald Trump's inaugural address on January 20, 2017, was marked by a tone of populism and nationalism, focusing on themes of "America First," protectionism, and a critique of the political establishment. Trump painted a picture of a nation in distress, highlighting issues like job loss, crime, and economic decay, while promising to restore prosperity and security for American citizens. He emphasized the transfer of power from Washington, D.C., back to the people, criticizing past leaders for enriching foreign industries at the expense of American workers. Key points included commitments to rebuild infrastructure, protect borders, and prioritize American interests in trade and foreign policy. His speech was notably devoid of traditional inaugural themes like unity or bipartisanship, instead focusing on a direct, often combative, message to his voter base, signaling a significant shift in both rhetoric and policy direction for the United States.
