During his inaugural speech, Trump invoked American exceptionalism, announced plans to increase oil production, decrease inflation, and declared a state of emergency on the U.S. border with Mexico. He also vowed to put an end to catch and release policies and designate cartels as terrorist organizations. Trump emphasized his belief in God and promised swift changes and a “golden age” for America.
Former President Joe Biden left the Capitol peacefully, officially marking the transition of power. Vice President JD Vance took the oath of office, with Chief Justice Brett Kavanaugh swearing him in. The ceremony included an invocation by Timothy Cardinal Dolan and Rev. Franklin Graham. Former presidents and dignitaries attended the historic event.
