On January 20, 2025, Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, marking his historic return to the White House. In a bold and defiant inaugural address delivered at the Capitol, Trump declared the day as “Liberation Day” and promised a “revolution of common sense” aimed at restoring American pride, prosperity, and strength. His speech struck a familiar tone, focusing on national security, economic revival, and cultural transformation.
During his address, Trump emphasized his commitment to tackling illegal immigration, declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border. He vowed to implement stricter border security measures, reigniting his firm stance on immigration policies. Additionally, he outlined his administration’s ambitious plans to achieve energy independence by ramping up domestic oil and gas production, which he claimed would create jobs and boost economic growth. In a move to prioritize American industries, Trump announced that new tariffs would take effect starting February 1, signaling a renewed push for economic protectionism. He also signed an executive order giving TikTok a 75-day deadline to negotiate a deal with China, underscoring his administration’s focus on national security and economic sovereignty.
