Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States and planned for an ‘America’s Golden Age’.
Donald Trump completed his dramatic political overhaul on Monday when he was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, pledging tariffs, deportations and a new approach to race and gender.
Trump began laying out the details of his executive orders on the first day of his inaugural address in Washington’s Capitol Rotunda.
First was declaring a national emergency on the southern border. He said he would send the military to the border to start deporting “illegal” immigrants. Trump has vowed to designate drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and invoke the Foreign Enemies Act of 1798 to deport the gangs as soon as possible.
Trump did not mention the northern border as Canadian politicians prepared to respond to the president’s threatened tariffs on imports. An income management official will give the new president an extensive business memo later today; It is not expected to add new tariffs on Canada.
Trump has remained vague on his plans to lift trade sanctions. He said that we will impose tariffs and taxes on foreign countries to enrich our citizens.
He promised to reverse Biden’s green energy policies, including the electric vehicle mandate, and to “drill, baby, drill” for more oil.
Trump said his government’s view would be only “two genders, male and female.” He also promised to end the “race of social engineering” in all spheres of public and private life and to end the effort to “create a color-blind and meritocracy-based society”.
Prospects for world peace, astronauts on Mars
Trump overcame impeachment charges, criminal charges and two assassination attempts to win a second term in the White House, where his Republican Party controls Washington.
Trump is the second president in US history to serve non-consecutive terms and the first felon to hold the world’s highest political office. After being taken home due to cold weather, he took the oath in an unusually small ceremony in the rotunda, away from the crowd.
The 78-year-old’s speech was more optimistic than his 2017 graduation speech. “America’s golden age begins now,” he began, and later, “From this moment, America’s decline ends.”
He mentioned the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania and said that he was saved by God to return to his country.
Trump said he would be a peacemaker and “end all wars” and promised to “retake” the Panama Canal.
He said he would turn the Gulf of Mexico into the Gulf of the United States, and the United States would chase astronauts to Mars – a long-term goal of billionaire Elon Musk, agreed to by Trump and placed on the new administration. .
Billionaires are prominently featured in the Capitol.
Musk had positions closer to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Google’s Sundar Pichai — a quartet with a combined GDP greater than the world’s largest — than some members of Trump’s incoming cabinet.
Tik Tok CEO Xu Zichew was also in the Rotunda, sitting in an area reserved for former presidents, family members and other notable guests. The United States banned the social media app over the weekend, only for Trump to reverse the ban hours later.
Congratulations to Trudeau Trump
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a statement congratulating Trump on his appointment, saying Canada and the United States have the most successful economic partnership in the world.
“Canada is strengthening this mutually beneficial relationship. We are investing heavily to strengthen cross-border trade, strengthen our supply chains and create jobs on both sides of the border,” he said.
“We are strongest when we work together, and I look forward to working with President Trump, his administration, members of the United States Congress, and state and local officials to deliver prosperity for our people – protecting and protecting the interests of Canadians.”
