Trump is America’s President, Again! Pardons 1,500 “Jan. 6th” Protestors.
“J6” protestors pardoned; Ends Green New Deal; Declares National Emergency at Mexico border; Rescinds Biden Orders …
Donald J. Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President in the Capitol Rotunda. In his Inauguration Address, he proclaimed, “The golden age of America begins right now.” He promised that, “During every single day of the Trump administration, I will, very simply, put put America first.”
Harkening back to the assassination attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, he voiced his belief that, “I was saved by God to make America great again.”
He stated his “hope that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.”
He told the assembled dignitaries and guests that, “We will not forget our country. We will not forget our Constitution, and we will not forget our God.”
“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. … 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.”
“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.”
“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. As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female.”
President Trump again described the “gift” to Panama of the Panama Canal by Jimmy Carter to have been “foolish,” and said Panama had violated the terms of the treaty. “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.”
After the ceremony concluded, President Trump visited with 20,000 supporters at the Capital One Arena, where after viewing an indoor parade, he began signing Executive Orders as the crowd cheered. Later, he returned to the Oval Office, for the first time in four years, and signed additional Orders. Here a list of the Executive Actions (Orders, Memoranda, and letters) that were signed:
