WASHINGTON: Donald J. Trump officially began his second term as U.S. President with a resolute and sweeping inaugural address. Speaking at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, he outlined his priorities, focusing on border security, energy policy, free speech, and unity.
Addressing Border Security
President Trump wasted no time declaring a national emergency at the southern border. He vowed to deploy troops to counter illegal immigration and protect the nation.
“We will repel the disastrous invasion of our country,” Trump said, earning massive cheers from supporters. He also announced plans to designate cartels as foreign terrorist organizations to combat organized crime.
Standing on Gender Policy
Trump issued a strong stance on gender identity, saying, “The United States government will recognize only two genders: male and female.”
Additionally, he signed an executive order to halt censorship, emphasizing the importance of free speech in the nation. “We will bring free speech back to America,” Trump declared firmly.
Energy and Economic Reforms
In a bold move, President Trump declared a national energy emergency and signaled a return to oil drilling.
“Drill, baby, drill,” he stated, promising to restore the U.S. as a leading manufacturing nation. He rejected the Green New Deal and announced the revocation of the electric vehicle mandate.
To address inflation and rising costs, Trump directed his cabinet to use their powers to lower prices swiftly. “We will utilize liquid gold under our feet to make America rich again,” he emphasized.
Reshaping Trade Policy

“We will tax foreign nations to enrich our citizens, not the other way around,” Trump stated.
