President Trump’s 2025 inauguration speech full transcript
The 47th President Donald Trump Inauguration Speech
Jan. 21, 2025
Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you
very, very much. Vice President Vance, Speaker Johnson, Senator Thune, Chief
Justice Roberts, justices of the United States Supreme Court, President
Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, President Biden, Vice President
Harris, and my fellow citizens.
The Golden Age of America begins right now.
From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all
over the world. We will be the envy of every nation, and we will not allow
ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer during every single day of the
Trump administration. I will, very simply, put America first.
Our sovereignty will be reclaimed. 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 and our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud,
prosperous and free.
America will soon be greater, stronger and
far more exceptional than ever before I return to the presidency, confident and
optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success.
A tide of change is sweeping the country. Sunlight is pouring over the entire
world, and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before.
But first, we must be honest about the challenges we face. While they are
plentiful, they will be annihilated by this great momentum that the world is now
witnessing.
In the United States of America, as we
gather today, our government confronts a crisis of trust. For many years, a
radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our
citizens, while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly in complete
disrepair. We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at
home, while at the same time stumbling into a continuing catalog of
catastrophic events abroad. It fails to protect our magnificent law-abiding
American citizens but provides sanctuary and protection for dangerous
criminals, many from prisons and mental institutions that have illegally
entered our country from all over the world.
We have a government that has given
unlimited funding to the defense of foreign borders but refuses to defend
American borders, or, more importantly, its own people. Our country can no
longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as recently shown by the
wonderful people of North Carolina being treated so badly and other states who
are still suffering from a hurricane that took place many months ago. Or more
recently, Los Angeles, where we are watching fires still tragically burn from
weeks ago without even a token of defense. They’re raging through the houses
and communities, even affecting some of the wealthiest and most powerful
individuals in our country, some of whom are sitting here right now. They don’t
have a home any longer. That’s interesting, but we can’t let this happen.
Everyone is unable to do anything about it. That’s going to change.
We have a public health system that does
not deliver in times of disaster, yet, more money is spent on it than any
country anywhere in the world, and we have an education system that teaches our
children to be ashamed of themselves, in many cases, to hate our country,
despite the love that we try so desperately to provide to them. All of this
will change starting today, and it will change very quickly.
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 people back their faith, their
wealth, their democracy, and indeed, their freedom. 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. Over the past eight
years, I have been tested and challenged more than any president in our
250-year history, and I’ve learned a lot along the way. The journey to reclaim
our republic has not been an easy one, that I can tell you. Those who wish to
stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and indeed to take my life 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.
That is why, each day, under our
administration of American patriots, we will be working to meet every crisis
with dignity and power and strength. We will move with purpose and speed to
bring back hope, prosperity, safety and peace for citizens of every race,
religion, color and creed. For American citizens, January 20, 2025, is
Liberation Day.
It is my hope that our recent presidential
election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in
the history of our country. As our victory showed, the entire nation is rapidly
unifying behind our agenda, with dramatic increases in support from virtually
every element of our society: young and old, men and women, African Americans,
Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, urban, suburban, rural and, very
importantly, we had a powerful win in all seven swing states and the popular vote,
we won by millions of people.
To the Black and Hispanic communities. I
want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and trust that you have
shown me with your vote. We set records, and I will not forget it. I’ve heard
your voices in the campaign, and I look forward to working with you in the
years to come. Today is Martin Luther King Day, and his honor, this will be a
great honor, but in his honor, we will strive together to make his dream a
reality. We will make his dream come true.
National unity is now returning to America,
and confidence and pride is soaring like never before in everything we do. My
administration will be inspired by a strong pursuit of excellence and
unrelenting success. We will not forget our country. We will not forget our
Constitution, and we will not forget our God. Can’t do that.
Today, I will sign a series of historic
executive orders. With these actions, we will begin the complete restoration of
America and the revolution of common sense. It’s all about common sense. First,
I will declare a national emergency at our southern border.
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 practice of catch and
release, and I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous
invasion of our country.
Under the orders I sign today, we will also
be designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. And by invoking
the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, I will direct our government to use the full and
immense power of federal and state law enforcement to eliminate the presence of
all foreign gangs and criminal networks bringing devastating crime to U.S.
soil, including our cities and inner cities.
As commander in chief, I have no higher
responsibility than to defend our country from threats and invasions, and that
is exactly what I am going to do. We will do it at a level that nobody has ever
seen before. Next, I will direct all members of my Cabinet to marshal the vast
powers at their disposal to defeat what was record inflation and rapidly bring
down costs and prices.
The inflation crisis was caused by massive
overspending and escalating energy prices, and that is why today I will also
declare a national energy emergency. We will drill, baby, drill.
America will be a manufacturing nation once
again, and we have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have:
the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth. And we are going to
use it. Let me use it. We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves
up again, right to the top, and export American energy all over the world. We
will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that
will help to do it. With my actions today, we will end the Green New Deal and
we will revoke the electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto industry and
keeping my sacred pledge to our great American auto workers.
In other words, you’ll be able to buy the
car of your choice. We will build automobiles in America again at a rate that
nobody could have dreamt possible just a few years ago. And thank you to the
auto workers of our nation for your inspiring vote of confidence. We did
tremendously with their vote. I will immediately begin the overhaul of our
trade system to protect American workers and families. Instead of taxing our
citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to
enrich our citizens.
For this purpose, we are establishing the
External Revenue Service to collect all tariffs, duties and revenues. It will
be massive amounts of money pouring into our treasury coming from foreign
sources. The American dream will soon be back and thriving like never before to
restore competence and effectiveness to our federal government. My
administration will establish the brand new Department of Government
Efficiency.
After years and years of illegal and
unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I will also sign
an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back
free speech to America.
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
under my leadership. We will restore fair, equal and impartial justice under
the constitutional rule of law. And we are going to bring law and order back to
our cities.
This week, I will also end the government
policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of
public and private light. We will forge a society that is colorblind and
merit-based. As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the
United States government that there are only two genders: male and female. This
week, I will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our
military for objecting to the Covid vaccine mandate with full back pain.
And I will sign an order to stop our
warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and social
experiments while on duty, it’s going to end immediately. Our armed forces will
be free to focus on their sole mission, defeating America’s enemies.
Like in 2017, we will again build the
strongest military the world has ever seen. We will measure our success, not
only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most
importantly, the wars we never get into.
My proudest legacy will be that of a
peacemaker and unifier. That’s what I want to be, a peacemaker and a unifier.
I’m pleased to say that as of yesterday, one day before I assumed office, the
hostages in the Middle East are coming back home to their families.
Thank you. America will reclaim its
rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on earth,
inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world. A short time from now, we
are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America,
and we will restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount
McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs.
President McKinley made our country very
rich through tariffs and through talent. He was a natural businessman and gave
Teddy Roosevelt the money for many of the great things he did, including the
Panama Canal, which has foolishly been given to the country of Panama after the
United States.
The United States — I mean, think
of this — spent more money than ever spent on a project before and lost 38,000
lives in the building of the Panama Canal. We have been treated very badly from
this foolish gift that should have never been made, and Panama’s promise to us
has been broken. The purpose of our deal and the spirit of our treaty has been
totally violated. American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated
fairly in any way, shape or form, and that includes the United States Navy. And
above all, China is operating the Panama Canal. And we didn’t give it to China.
We gave it to Panama, and we’re taking it back. You. I
Above all, my message to Americans today is
that it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor and the vitality
of history’s greatest civilization. So as we liberate our nation, we will lead
it to new heights of victory and success. We will not be deterred together. We
will end the chronic disease epidemic and keep our children safe, healthy and
disease-free.
The United States will once again consider
itself a growing nation, one that increases our wealth, expands our territory,
builds our cities, raises our expectations, and carries our flag into new and
beautiful horizons. And we will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars,
launching American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on the planet
Mars.
The ambition is the lifeblood of a great
nation, and right now, our nation is more ambitious than any other. There’s no
nation like our nation. Americans are explorers, builders, innovators,
entrepreneurs and pioneers. The spirit of the frontier is written into our
hearts. The call of the next great adventure resounds from within our souls.
Our American ancestors turned a small group of colonies on the edge of a vast
continent into a mighty republic of the most extraordinary citizens on earth.
No one comes close.
Americans pushed thousands of miles through
a rugged land of untamed wilderness. They crossed deserts, scaled mountains,
braved untold dangers, won the Wild West, ended slavery, rescued millions from
tyranny, lifted billions from poverty, harnessed electricity, split the atom,
launched mankind into the heavens and put the universe of human knowledge into
the palm of the human hand. If we work together, there is nothing we cannot do
and no dream we cannot achieve. Many people thought it was impossible for me to
stage such a historic political comeback. But as you see today, here I am, the
American people have spoken.
I stand before you now as proof that you
should never believe that something is impossible to do in America. The
impossible is what we do best.
From New York to Los Angeles, from
Philadelphia to Phoenix, from Chicago to Miami, from Houston to right here in
Washington, D.C., our country was forged and built by the generations of
patriots who gave everything they had for our rights and for our freedom. They
were farmers and soldiers, cowboys and factory workers, steel workers and coal
miners, police officers and pioneers who pushed onward, marched forward, and
let no obstacle defeat their spirit or their pride. Together, they laid down
the railroads, raised up the skyscrapers, built great highways, won two world
wars, defeated fascism and communism, and triumphed over every single challenge
that they faced. After all we have been through together, we stand on the verge
of the four greatest years in American history. With your help, we will restore
America'a promise, and we will rebuild the nation that we love. And we love it
so much.
We are one people, one family and one
glorious nation under God. So to every parent who dreams for their child and
every child who dreams for their future, I am with you. I will fight for you,
and I will win for you. We are going to win like never before.
Thank you. In recent years, our nation has
suffered greatly, but we are going to bring it back and make it great again,
greater than ever before. We will be a nation like no other, full of
compassion, courage and exceptionalism. Our power will stop all wars and bring
a new spirit of unity to a world that has been angry, violent and totally
unpredictable. America will be respected again and admired again, including by
people of religion, faith and goodwill. We will be prosperous, we will be
proud. We will be strong, and we will win like never before. We will not be
conquered, we will not be intimidated, we will not be broken, and we will not
fail.
From this day on, the United States of
America will be a free, sovereign and independent nation. We will stand
bravely. We will live proudly. We will dream boldly, and nothing will stand in
our way. Because we are Americans, the future is ours, and our Golden Age has
just begun. Thank you. God. Bless America. Thank you all.
