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 restore its promise for all of our
people. Together we
will determine the course of America and the world for many, many 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, D.C., and giving it back to you, the 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 just and reasonable demands of righteous people and 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 all knowledge.
And the crime, and the gangs, and the 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
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 dissipated over the horizon. One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores with
not even a thought about the millions and millions of American workers that
were left behind.
The
wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then
redistributed all across the world.
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. We will shine 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 allow anyone to tell
you that 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 ourselves, lift our sights and heal our divisions. It’s 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, 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.
Thank you. God bless America.
