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,
DC. And giving it back to you, the people.
For too long, have reaped the rewards of
government while people have borne the cost.
Washington flourished, but the people did not
share in its wealth. Politicians prospered
period, 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 be longs 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 what truly controls
our government but whether our government
is controlled by the people. January 20, 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 centre of
this movement is a crucial conviction, that a
nation exists to serve its citizens. Americans
want great schools for their children, safe
neighbourhoods 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 unrealised
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 have enriched foreign
industry at the expense of American industry,
subsidised the armies of other countries while
allowing for the very sad depletion of our
military.
We have defended other nations' 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. But that is the pass and now we are
looking only to the future.
We assemble here today are issuing a new
decree to be heard in every city in every
foreign capital and in every hall of power.
From this day forward, a new vision will
govern our land. From this day forward, it's
going to be only America first, America first.
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 reform the world against radical
islamic terrorism which we will eradicate
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 sold art. 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, must think big and dream even
bigger. In America, we understand that a
nation is only living as long 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
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 wind-swept plains of
Nebraska, they look 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, 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.
Alabatvnews.
