Donald Trump wasted no time making waves as he was sworn in for a historic second term as President of the United States. On his first day back in office, Trump unleashed a flurry of executive orders that sparked both celebration and criticism, while boldly declaring the start of a new “golden age” for America.
In a speech delivered under the grand dome of the Capitol’s Rotunda, Trump vowed to reverse what he called America’s decline during the Biden administration.
“The golden age of America begins right now. From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world,” Trump proclaimed to an audience of supporters and dignitaries.
Among his controversial first moves, Trump:
- Pardoned supporters involved in the January 6 Capitol attack.
- Withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord and the World Health Organization.
- Threatened steep trade tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
These actions, reminiscent of his first term’s divisive style, signaled Trump’s intent to reshape both domestic and foreign policy in his signature confrontational manner.
A Showman’s Return
Following his inauguration, Trump addressed a raucous crowd at a Washington sports arena, tossing pens used for signing executive orders into the audience.
“Could you imagine Biden doing this? I don’t think so,” he quipped, drawing cheers and applause.
The 78-year-old president then made a triumphant return to the White House, marking a dramatic comeback after his controversial exit four years ago. His return has been described as one of the most remarkable political comebacks in U.S. history, reigniting both his base’s fervor and his critics’ ire.
While Trump’s rhetoric promises renewed prosperity, his actions have already drawn sharp divisions. Supporters hail his leadership as a bold reset, while detractors warn of deepening polarization and global repercussions.
