“The golden age of america begins right now.”

During every single day of the Trump administration, I will very simply put America first.”

TO BEGIN HIS ADDRESS –

TRUMP SPOKE OF “the golden age of America” BEING UPON US.

TRUMP OFFERING THE NATION HIS POSITIVE OUTLOOK TOWARD THE FUTURE WHILE HIGHLIGHTING WHAT HE CALLED “POLICY FAILURES” OF THE PAST –

BY SAYING “AMERICA’S DECLINE IS OVER” AFTER BEING “ISSUED A MANDATE” THIS PAST ELECTION

“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 American people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy and indeed their freedom. From this moment on, america’s decline is over.”

TRUMP OFFERED INSIGHT INTO SOME OF HIS EXECUTIVE ACTIONS AND TOP PRIORITIES OF HIS ADMINISTRATION –

STICKING TO THE THEMES OF HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN THAT GOT HIM ELECTED:

IMMIGRATION, ENERGY, AND TRADE.

EVEN SAYING SOME POLICIES FROM HIS FIRST TERM – WILL BE MAKING A COMEBACK.

“We will reinstate my remain in mexico policy.”

“I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country.”

As commander in chief, I have no higher responsibility than to defend our country from threat and invasions and that is exactly what I am going to do.”

WE ALSO LEARNED OF SOME OF TRUMP’S HIGHER AMBITIONS –

FROM CHANGING THE NAME OF THE GULF OF MEXICO TO GULF OF AMERICA.

REASSERTING CONTROL OVER THE PANAMA CANAL.

AND SOME – OUT OF THIS WORLD – LIKE PUTTING ASTRONAUTS – AND THE AMERICAN FLAG – ON MARS.

We will pursue our Manifest Destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars.

ANOTHER KEY POINT DURING TRUMP’S SPEECH –

CITING WEAPONIZATION OF THE GOVERNMENT THAT HE SAYS WILL BE REBALANCED UNDER HIS ADMINISTRATION  –

BUT NOT CALLING FOR POLITICAL RETRIBUTION.

“The vicious, violent and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end.”

Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents — something I know something about. We will not allow that to happen. It will not happen again.”
