US President Donald Trump declared the end of revenge against political opponents right after taking the oath of office. In his inaugural speech as the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump said that America would now progress, and during his term, he would put America first. He promised that America would soon become a stronger, greater, and more successful country than ever before.

In his speech, President Trump emphasized that his top priority was to build a country that is free and strong, and he stated that no one in American history had faced the challenges he had during his 8 years in politics. He vowed to make America great again.

Trump also announced the end of government censorship across the country, pledging to eliminate discrimination based on race and color. He promised to restore full freedom of expression in the United States.

Furthermore, Trump stated that the country would begin extracting oil and gas reserves from beneath American soil, making the U.S. the world’s largest producer of oil and gas, and ensuring that America would use this energy domestically.

On his first day in office, US President Donald Trump revoked 78 presidential actions taken by former President Joe Biden and signed several new executive orders.

According to US media, while President Trump was signing the executive orders in the White House, he received a letter from the former president, Joe Biden, placed in a drawer on the desk.

As Trump was signing, an American journalist reminded him about the letter. Trump then paused, looked for the letter, and found it in the drawer, which was marked with ’47’ on it.

Jokingly, Trump said, “We might have spent years trying to find this,” and added, “Let’s all read the letter together, okay? Maybe I’ll read it first, and then decide what to do.”

Later, Trump was asked if he had also left a letter for Biden, as Biden had done for him. Trump confirmed, saying, “Yes, I left a letter for Biden, just as he did for me.”

U.S. media noted that it is a tradition for the outgoing president to leave a letter for the incoming president on the desk. It is important to note that Donald Trump is now the 47th president of the United States.

Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States by Chief Justice John Roberts, marking a political return after his felony conviction. His running mate, JD Vance, took the oath administered by Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States,” Trump stated in his oath. President-elect Trump has officially assumed office as the 47th president.

The Presidential Oath of Office, outlined in Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution, differs from oaths for other federal officials, such as the vice president, which Congress established by statute.

The phrase “so help me God” is not part of the Constitutional oath but was reportedly added by George Washington during his first inauguration, setting a precedent, though there is no definitive evidence that Washington used the phrase.

Franklin Pierce and Herbert Hoover chose to “affirm” their oaths rather than swear them. Trump expressed his confidence in a “thrilling new era of national success” as he takes office once again as the 47th president.

During his inaugural address, Trump remarked, “A tide of change is sweeping the country.” “Sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before,” Trump declared.

In his address, Trump is expected to call for a “revolution of common sense,” according to a prepared speech excerpt. He plans to sign several executive orders, including measures to end birthright citizenship and declaring a national emergency on the US-Mexico border. Additionally, he aims to pardon some January 6 rioters on his first day in office, sources tell CNN.

He is anticipated to call for a “revolution of common sense” during his speech, the first since his swearing-in for a second term, based on an excerpt of prepared remarks.

Trump’s aides indicated that his address would differ from the “American carnage” speech of 2017, focusing on how he now perceives the presidency and his power.
