Donald Trump, inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, has declared an ambitious “America First” agenda, emphasizing his intent to reshape America with an expansive mandate. In contrast to his 2017 inaugural speech that highlighted “American carnage,” this address was marked by optimism and a promise of a “golden age.” Trump outlined key actions for his first 100 days, including numerous executive orders, revisiting immigration laws, tackling inflation via increased oil and gas production, and retracting the U.S. from the Paris climate accord. He also stressed cultural issues, pledging to remove federal diversity mandates and recognize only male and female genders. However, Trump’s address lacked specifics on trade tariffs and international policies, and he did not address the ongoing Ukraine conflict. With Mr. Biden’s legacy effectively dismantled and marred by last-minute family pardons, Trump positions himself as a unifier, though the true test lies in his ability to turn rhetoric into disciplined policy.
