NAIROBI, Kenya- Donald Trump has officially begun his second term as the 47th President of the United States, marking a dramatic comeback after his November election victory.
In a 29-minute inaugural address that veered between optimism and critique, Trump pledged to restore the American dream while condemning the state of the nation he now leads.
With an air of optimism, Trump declared the dawn of what he called a “golden age of America.”
“From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected,” he told the crowd in Washington, D.C.
Yet, the tone quickly shifted. Trump painted a grim picture of what he labeled a nation plagued by a “radical and corrupt establishment,” criticizing the handling of crises like the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
“We will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer,” he emphasized, signaling a confrontational approach to both domestic and international challenges.

Unlike traditional inaugural speeches that lean toward unity, Trump took a different route—detailing an ambitious policy roadmap for his first 100 days. Among his pledges:
- Southern Border Emergency: Renewing his controversial 2019 declaration, Trump vowed to deploy troops to enforce immigration laws.
- Free Speech Executive Order: He promised immediate action to combat what he views as censorship in the digital age, likely a nod to his tumultuous relationship with social media platforms.
These announcements, reminiscent of his campaign rhetoric, drew applause from supporters and raised eyebrows from critics.
True to form, Trump’s speech wasn’t short on drama or ambition. He recounted surviving an assassination attempt during the campaign, calling it a sign of divine intervention.
“I was saved by God to make America great again,” he declared, captivating his audience.
Looking beyond Earth, Trump pledged to plant the American flag on Mars, a statement that drew a smile from Elon Musk, a vocal advocate of space exploration.
His remarks on gender policy garnered both cheers and criticism. Declaring, “There are only two genders: male and female,” Trump vowed to combat what he called the “social engineering of race and gender,” a divisive stance likely to fuel ongoing cultural debates.
For supporters, his address signals a leader ready to reclaim what they see as lost ground. For detractors, it underscores the challenges of bridging a deeply divided nation.
