The ceremony, held in the Capitol Rotunda, marked a significant return to this historic venue after a 40-year hiatus.

Summary:

In his 29-minute address, Trump underscored recurring themes from his campaign, including national unity and economic growth, pledging to guide the U.S. toward "the greatest four years in history." Typically an outdoor event, the ceremony was moved indoors due to inclement weather, making it the coldest inauguration day in 40 years.

  • He also vowed to reinstate military personnel dismissed for refusing vaccination and to implement a "color-blind" government that recognizes only "two genders." Additionally, the President announced plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," reclaim U.S. control over the Panama Canal, and establish a new agency, the "External Revenue Service," dedicated to safeguarding citizens' economic interests. Trump addressed inflation, blaming government spending and promising to dismantle regulations on electric vehicles.

The inauguration concluded with a performance by Carrie Underwood and the farewell of the Biden family, who departed for California as private citizens. This new administration promises a radically different approach compared to its predecessor.
