Trump promises ‘new golden age’ after swearing-in as 47th US President
Donald Trump has officially taken the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States, vowing to usher in a “new golden age” for the nation.
In a widely anticipated inaugural address delivered from the rotunda of the US Capitol, Trump outlined an ambitious vision aimed at restoring American greatness. He pledged bold policy changes, economic revitalization, and a renewed emphasis on national pride.
“The golden age of America begins right now,” Trump declared. He promised that under his leadership, the nation would “flourish and be respected” and positioned himself as both a “peacemaker and a unifier.”
During his speech, Trump criticized the previous administration’s handling of critical issues, particularly the migrant crisis, describing it as a symptom of a broader “crisis of trust” in government.
The ceremony was attended by a mix of tech billionaires, cabinet nominees, and former presidents, marking a significant moment in U.S. political history. Minutes before Trump took the oath, outgoing President Joe Biden issued last-minute pardons for members of his family.
As part of his immediate policy agenda, Trump is expected to sign a series of executive orders in the coming hours. These include declaring a “national emergency” at the US-Mexico border, designating drug cartels as terrorist organizations, and dismantling government diversity programs.
