THIS NA FULL TEXT OF DONALD TRUMP INAUGURAL SPEECH
The following is the complete text of Donald Trump’s
inaugural address delivered Friday after he was sworn in
as the 45th president of the United States :
Chief Justice Roberts , President Carter , President
Clinton , President Bush, President Obama, fellow
Americans , and people of the world : thank you .
We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great
national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its
promise for all of our people.
Together, we will determine the course of America and
the world for years to come .
We will face challenges . We will confront hardships . But
we will get the job done .
Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out
the orderly and peaceful transfer of power , and we are
grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle
Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition .
They have been magnificent. Thank you .
Today’s ceremony , however , has very special meaning.
Because today we are not merely transferring power from
one administration to another , or from one party to
another — but we are transferring power from Washington
, DC and giving it back to you , the American people.
For too long , a small group in our nation ’s capital has
reaped the rewards of government while the people have
borne the cost .
Washington flourished — but the people did not share in
its wealth.
Politicians prospered — but the jobs left, and the
factories closed.
The establishment protected itself , but not the citizens
of our country .
Their victories have not been your victories; their
triumphs have not been your triumphs ; and while they
celebrated in our nation ’s capital , there was little to
celebrate for struggling families all across our land .
That all changes — starting right here, and right now,
because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you
.
It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone
watching all across America.
This is your day. This is your celebration.
And this , the United States of America , is your country
.
What truly matters is not which party controls our
government, but whether our government is controlled
by the people.
January 20th, 2017 will be remembered as the day the
people became the rulers of this nation again.
The forgotten men and women of our country will be
forgotten no longer.
Everyone is listening to you now.
You came by the tens of millions to become part of a
historic movement the likes of which the world has
never seen before .
At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction :
that a nation exists to serve its citizens.
Americans want great schools for their children , safe
neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for
themselves .
These are the just and reasonable demands of a
righteous public.
But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists
: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner
cities ; rusted- out factories scattered like tombstones
across the landscape of our nation; an education
system, flush with cash , but which leaves our young
and beautiful students deprived of knowledge ; and the
crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many
lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized
potential .
This American carnage stops right here and stops right
now.
We are one nation — and their pain is our pain . Their
dreams are our dreams ; and their success will be our
success. We share one heart, one home , and one
glorious destiny .
The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to
all Americans.
For many decades , we ’ve enriched foreign industry at
the expense of American industry;
Subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing
for the very sad depletion of our military ;
We’ve defended other nation ’ s borders while refusing
to defend our own;
And spent trillions and trillions of dollars overseas while
America ’s infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and
decay .
We’ve made other countries rich while the wealth,
strength, and confidence of our country has disappeared
over the horizon .
One by one , the factories shuttered and left our shores ,
with not even a thought about the millions upon millions
of American workers left behind.
The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from
their homes and then redistributed across the entire
world .
But that is the past . And now we are looking only to the
future .
We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be
heard in every city , in every foreign capital , and in
every hall of power .
From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land
.
From this moment on, it ’s going to be only America
First. America First.
Every decision on trade, on taxes , on immigration , on
foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers
and American families.
We must protect our borders from the ravages of other
countries making our products, stealing our companies ,
and destroying our jobs. Protection will lead to great
prosperity and strength.
I will fight for you with every breath in my body — and I
will never , ever let you down .
America will start winning again, winning like never
before .
We will bring back our jobs . We will bring back our
borders. We will bring back our wealth. And we will bring
back our dreams .
We will build new roads , and highways, and bridges ,
and airports , and tunnels , and railways all across our
wonderful nation.
We will get our people off of welfare and back to work —
rebuilding our country with American hands and
American labor.
We will follow two simple rules : Buy American and Hire
American .
We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of
the world — but we do so with the understanding that it
is the right of all nations to put their own interests first .
We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone , but
rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to
follow .
We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones — and
unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism
, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the
Earth .
At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance
to the United States of America , and through our loyalty
to our country , we will rediscover our loyalty to each
other .
When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no
room for prejudice .
The Bible tells us, “ how good and pleasant it is when
God’ s people live together in unity .”
We must speak our minds openly, debate our
disagreements honestly , but always pursue solidarity .
When America is united , America is totally unstoppable
.
There should be no fear — we are protected, and we will
always be protected.
We will be protected by the great men and women of our
military and law enforcement and, most importantly , we
will be protected by God.
Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.
In America , we understand that a nation is only living as
long as it is striving.
We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and
no action — constantly complaining but never doing
anything about it .
The time for empty talk is over.
Now arrives the hour of action .
Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done . No
challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of
America .
We will not fail . Our country will thrive and prosper
again .
We stand at the birth of a new millennium , ready to
unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the
miseries of disease , and to harness the energies ,
industries and technologies of tomorrow.
A new national pride will stir our souls , lift our sights ,
and heal our divisions .
It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will
never forget : that whether we are black or brown or
white , we all bleed the same red blood of patriots , we
all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute
the same great American flag .
And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of
Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska , they look
up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the
same dreams , and they are infused with the breath of
life by the same almighty Creator .
So to all Americans , in every city near and far , small
and large , from mountain to mountain , and from ocean
to ocean, hear these words :
You will never be ignored again .
Your voice, your hopes , and your dreams , will define
our American destiny . And your courage and goodness
and love will forever guide us along the way.
Together, We will make America strong again .
We will make America wealthy again .
We will make America proud again .
We will make America safe again.
And, yes , together , we will make America great again.
Thank you , God bless you , and God bless America.
