It is morning in America after a dark four-year Biden administration. Once again, Trump has a Democrat-created mess to clean up before he can start healing America and moving our nation forward. To Trump, Monday was the beginning of a golden era.
Trump
delivered his second inaugural address inside the Capitol Rotunda because the
weather was frigid in Washington, D.C. In his address, he vowed to “restore
integrity and efficiency to the federal government.”
Even though Trump won a decisive Electoral College victory and the popular vote, he desires to heal and unify America. Trump invoked Martin Luther King Jr. and asserted, “Impossible is what we do best.” Fred Lucas shared eight takeaways from Trump’s address.
1. ‘Stars and Stripes on the Planet Mars’
Among the newer policies Trump spoke of was
putting a man on Mars.
“We will pursue our Manifest Destiny into
the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the Stars and Stripes on the
planet Mars,” Trump said….
2. ‘Saved for a Reason’
Trump referenced the attempt on his life
on July 13 in Pennsylvania when a would-be assassin shot Trump in the ear and
killed a supporter in the crowd….
“From this moment on, America’s decline is
over. Our liberties and our nation’s glorious destiny will no longer be denied,
and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency, and loyalty of
America’s government,” Trump said.
“… Just a few months ago in a beautiful
Pennsylvania field an assassin’s bullet ripped through my ear. But I felt then,
and believe even more so now, that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved
by God to make America great again.” …
3. ‘Weaponization … Will End’
Minutes before leaving office, former
President Joe Biden pardoned several family members who had been under
congressional investigation for possible influence-peddling, and hours after
similar preemptive pardons of political allies.
Early in his speech, Trump vowed to
restored integrity to the U.S. justice system, after facing multiple investigations
from the Biden Justice Department.
“Our sovereignty will be reclaimed,” Trump
said. “Our safety will be restored. The scales of justice will be rebalanced.
The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and
our government will end.”
4. ‘Liberation Day’ and Honoring MLK
Trump said that Jan. 20, 2025, should be
regarded as “Liberation Day.” …
Trump referenced the growing support among
constituencies that haven’t often supported Republican candidates, as he noted
that he was sworn into office on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
“To the black and Hispanic communities, I
want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and trust you showed me
with your vote,” Trump said. “Today is Martin Luther King Day, and in his
honor, this will be a great honor, in his honor, we will strive together to
make his dream a reality. We will make his dream come true.”
5. ‘Only Two Genders’
Trump also called for ending government
social engineering on race and gender.
“This week, I will also end the government
policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of
public and private life. We will forge a society that is colorblind and
merit-based,” Trump said. “As of today, it will henceforth be the official
policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male
and female.”
6. ‘External Revenue Service’
While the Internal Revenue Service is the
Treasury Department agency charged with tax collection from Americans, Trump
announced plans for what he dubbed the “External Revenue Service” to fund the
government with revenues from foreign countries.
“I will immediately begin the overhaul of
our trade system to protect American workers and families,” he said. “Instead
of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax
foreign countries to enrich our citizens.”
He added: “For this purpose, we are
establishing the External Revenue Service, to collect all tariffs, duties, and
revenues….”
7. ‘National Emergency at Our Southern
Border’
Trump said protecting the southern border
would be a major priority, and announced numerous executive orders.
“I will declare a national emergency at
our southern border,” Trump said. “All illegal entry will immediately be
halted, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of
criminal aliens back to the places from which they came.”
“We will reinstate my ‘Remain in Mexico’
policy. I will end the process of catch-and-release. And I will send troops to
the southern border to stop the disastrous invasion of our country,” Trump
said.
He added that Mexican cartels will be
designated foreign terrorist organizations….
8. ‘National Energy Emergency’
Trump also vowed to roll back the energy
policies of the Biden administration.
“The inflation crisis was caused by
massive overspending and escalating energy prices. That is why today, I will
also declare a national energy emergency,” he said. “We will drill, baby drill.”
