"American Carnage": A Reexamination of Donald Trump's venomous 2017 Inauguration Day Address

Donald Trump Inauguration: The contentious 16-minute 2017 speech that presented a harsh image of America is a major topic of discussion as Donald Trump gets ready for his second inauguration.

Nixon's Inauguration: The attention is on Donald Trump's 2017 inaugural speech as he prepares for his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States of America on Monday, January 20.

Trump, 78, will follow incumbent Joe Biden after defeating Democrat Kamala Harris in the November US presidential election. Trump will take the oath of office as US president for the second time. Trump served as President of the United States from 2017 to 2021.

Trump presented a depressing image of the nation in his inauguration speech in January 2017, accusing foreign nations of closing manufacturing and reducing the size of the middle class. After being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, Trump famously declared that he would put an end to "American carnage" and govern with a "America First" philosophy.

During his 16-minute speech, Trump discussed a failing educational system, a number of abandoned factories, and widespread crime, promising to implement reforms during his presidency. After Chief Justice John Roberts gave the oath, Trump declared, "This American carnage stops right here and stops right now," at the US Capitol. From the National Mall, thousands of Trump fans traveled from all across the nation to watch the event.

However, because of the severe weather, the Donald Trump inaugural festivities will take place indoors in the US Capitol Rotunda this time.

Ahead of his second term in office in 2025, Trump has made closing the US-Mexico border and initiating the greatest deportation operation in history his top campaign pledge. In recent days, the president-elect has released additional information about his plans to achieve his promises to impose import taxes and usher in a "golden age."

"Forgotten People"
In his 2017 speech, Trump also pledged to speak for the "forgotten people," whom he claimed Washington officials had previously disregarded. Trump declared, "Today is the day the people became rulers of this nation again," promising to fight for the American people with all of his remaining strength. "I promise never to disappoint you," Trump declared.

"We will bring back our jobs, bring back our borders, bring back our wealth, and we will bring back our dreams," Trump stated.

In what was regarded as one of the greatest political upsets in American history, the Republican ticket of Donald Trump and Indiana Governor Mike Pence defeated the Democratic ticket of former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton and Virginia Junior Senator Tim Kaine in the November 8, 2016, presidential election.

Following his swearing-in, Trump issued his first executive order as president, directing federal agencies to reduce the administrative burdens imposed by Obamacare, the health care regulations of his predecessor. Additionally, he had enacted a waiver permitting his choice for defense secretary, retired Marine General James Mattis, to hold the position.

Two hundred executive orders
On the first day following his inauguration as the next President of the United States of America, Trump is scheduled to sign over 200 executive acts on Monday.

According to a source by Fox News, the Inauguration Day orders will prioritize border security, energy, lowering the cost of living for American people, and terminating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives throughout the federal government.
