Below is the full text of president Donald Trump’s inaugural address from the 20th of January 2025.
“Thank you very much, everybody.
Well, thank you very, very much.
Vice President Vance, Speaker Johnson, Senator Thune, Chief Justice Roberts, Justices of the United States Supreme Court, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and my fellow citizens, the golden age of America begins right now.
From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.
We will be the envy of every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer.
During every single day of the Trump administration, I will very simply put America first.
Our security will be reclaimed.
Our safety will be restored.
The scales of justice will be rebalanced.
The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end.
And our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous, and free.
America will soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before.
I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success.
A tide of change is sweeping the country, sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before.
But first, we must be honest about the challenges we face.
While they are plentiful, they will be annihilated by this great momentum that the world is now witnessing in the United States of America.
As we gather today, our government confronts a crisis of trust.
For many years, a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly in complete disrepair.
We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home, while at the same time stumbling into a continuing catalog of catastrophic events abroad.
It fails to protect our magnificent, law-abiding American citizens, but provides sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals, many from prisons and mental institutions, that have illegally entered our country from all over the world.
We have a government that has given unlimited funding to the defense of foreign borders, but refuses to defend American borders or, more importantly, its own people.
Our country can no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina, who have been treated so badly, and other states who are still suffering from a hurricane that took place many months ago, or more recently, Los Angeles, where we are watching fires still tragically burn.
From weeks ago, without even a token of defense, they’re raging through the houses and communities, even affecting some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in our country, some of whom are sitting here right now.
They don’t have a home any longer.
That’s interesting.
But we can’t let this happen.
Everyone is unable to do anything about it.
That’s going to change.
We have a public health system that does not deliver in times of disaster, yet more money is spent on it than any country anywhere in the world.
And we have an education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves, in many cases, to hate our country despite the love that we try so desperately to provide to them.
All of this will change starting today, and it will change very quickly.
My recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal, and all of these many betrayals that have taken place, and to give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy, and indeed their — From this moment on, America’s decline is over.
Our liberties and our nation’s glorious destiny will no longer be denied, and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency, and loyalty of America’s government.
Over the past eight years, I have been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250-year history, and I’ve learned a lot along the way.
The journey to reclaim our republic has not been an easy one, that I can tell you.
Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom, and indeed, to take my life.
Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin’s bullet ripped through my ear.
But I felt then, and believe even more so now, that my life was saved for a reason.
I was saved by God to make America great again.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
That is why each day, under our administration of American patriots, we will be working to meet every crisis with dignity and power and strength.
We will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety, and peace for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed.
For American citizens, January 20, 2025, is Liberation Day.
It is my hope that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.
As our victory showed, the entire nation is rapidly unifying behind our agenda, with dramatic increases in support from virtually every element of our society, young and old, men and women, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, urban, suburban, rural, and very importantly, we had a powerful win in all seven swing states.
And the popular vote we won by millions of people.
To the black and Hispanic communities, I want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and trust that you have shown me with your vote.
We set records, and I will not forget it.
I’ve heard your voices in the campaign, and I look forward to working with you in the years to come.
Today is Martin Luther King Day, and his honor, this will be a great honor, but in his honor, we will strive together to make his dream a reality.
We will make his dream come true.
Thank you.
National unity is now returning to America, and confidence and pride is soaring like never before.
In everything we do, my administration will be inspired by a strong pursuit of excellence and unrelenting success.
We will not forget our country.
We will not forget our Constitution.
And we will not forget our God.
Can’t do that.
Today I will sign a series of historic executive orders.
With these actions, we will begin the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense.
It’s all about common sense.
First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border.
All illegal entry will immediately be halted and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came.
We will reinstate my “Remain in Mexico” policy.
I will end the practice of catch and release.
And I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country.
Under the orders I sign today, we will also be designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
And by invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, I will direct our government to use the full and immense power of federal and state law enforcement to eliminate the presence of all foreign gangs and criminal networks, bringing devastating crime to U.S. soil, including our cities and inner cities.
As Commander-in-Chief, I have no higher responsibility than to defend our country from threats and invasions and that is exactly what I am going to do.
We will do it at a level that nobody has ever seen before.
Next, I will direct all members of my Cabinet to marshal the vast powers at their disposal to defeat what was record inflation and rapidly bring down costs and prices.
The inflation crisis was caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices, and that is why today I will also declare a national energy emergency.
We will drill, baby, drill.
America will be a manufacturing nation once again, and we have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have, the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on earth, and we are going to use it.
We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up again, right to the top, and export American energy all over the world.
We will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it.
With my actions today, we will end the Green New Deal and we will revoke the electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto industry and keeping my sacred pledge to our great American autoworkers.
In other words, you’ll be able to buy the car of your choice.
We will build automobiles in America again at a rate that nobody could have dreamt possible just a few years ago, and thank you to the autoworkers of our nation for your inspiring vote of confidence.
We did tremendously with their vote.
I will immediately begin the overhaul of our trade system to protect American workers and families.
Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens.
For this purpose, we are establishing the External Revenue Service to collect all tariffs, duties and revenues.
It will be massive amounts of money pouring into our Treasury coming from foreign sources.
The American Dream will soon be back and thriving like never before to restore competence and effectiveness to our federal government.
My administration will establish the brand new Department of Government Efficiency.
After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America.
Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents.
Something I know something about.
We will not allow that to happen.
It will not happen again.
Under my leadership, we will restore fair, equal and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law.
And we are going to bring law and order back to our cities.
This week, I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.
We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based.
As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.
This week, I will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate with full back pain.
And I will sign an order to stop our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and social experiments while on duty.
It’s going to end immediately.
Our armed forces will be free to focus on their sole mission, defeating America’s enemies.
Like in 2017, we will again build the strongest military the world has ever seen.
We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.
My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier.
That’s what I want to be, a peacemaker and a unifier.
I’m pleased to say that as of yesterday, one day before I assumed office, the hostages in the Middle East are coming back home to their families.
America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on Earth, inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world.
A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and we will restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs.
President McKinley made our country very rich through tariffs and through talent.
He was a natural businessman and gave Teddy Roosevelt the money for many of the great things he did, including the Panama Canal, which has foolishly been given to the country of Panama after the United States — the United States — I mean, think of this — spent more money than ever spent on a project before and lost 38,000 lives in the building of the Panama Canal.
We have been treated very badly from this foolish gift that should have never been made.
And Panama’s promise to us has been broken.
The purpose of our deal and the spirit of our treaty has been totally violated.
American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way, shape, or form.
And that includes the United States Navy.
And above all, China is operating the Panama Canal.
And we didn’t give it to China.
We gave it to Panama, and we’re taking it back.
Above all, my message to Americans today is that it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor, and the vitality of history’s greatest civilization.
So as we liberate our nation, we will lead it to new heights of victory and success.
We will not be deterred.
Together, we will end the chronic disease epidemic and keep our children safe, healthy, and disease-free.
The United States will once again consider itself a growing nation, one that increases our wealth, expands our territory, builds our cities, raises our expectations, and carries our flag into new and beautiful horizons.
And we will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars.
Ambition is the lifeblood of a great nation.
And right now, our nation is more ambitious than any other.
There’s no nation like our nation.
Americans are explorers, builders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and pioneers.
The spirit of the frontier is written into our hearts.
The call of the next great adventure resounds from within our souls.
Our American ancestors turned a small group of colonies on the edge of a vast continent into a mighty republic of the most extraordinary citizens on Earth.
No one comes close.
Americans pushed thousands of miles through a rugged land of untamed wilderness.
They crossed deserts, scaled mountains, braved untold dangers, won the Wild West, ended slavery, rescued millions from tyranny, lifted billions from poverty, harnessed electricity, split the atom, launched mankind into the heavens, and put the universe of human knowledge into the palm of the human hand.
If we work together, there is nothing we cannot do and no dream we cannot achieve.
Many people thought it was impossible for me to stage such a historic political comeback.
But as you see today, here I am.
The American people have spoken.
I stand before you now as proof that you should never believe that something is impossible to do.
In America, the impossible is what we do best.
From New York to Los Angeles, from Philadelphia to Phoenix, from Chicago to Miami, from Houston to right here in Washington, D.C., our country was forged and built by the generations of patriots who gave everything they had for our rights and for our freedom.
They were farmers and soldiers, cowboys and factory workers, steelworkers and coal miners, police officers and pioneers who pushed onward, marched forward, and let no obstacle defeat their spirit or their pride.
Together they laid down the railroads, raised up the skyscrapers, built great highways, won two world wars, defeated fascism and communism, and triumphed over every single challenge that they faced.
After all we have been through together, we stand on the verge of the four greatest years in American history.
With your help, we will restore America’s promise and we will rebuild the nation that we love, and we love it so much.
We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God.
So to every parent who dreams for their child and every child who dreams for their future, I am with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you.
We are going to win like never before.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
In recent years, our nation has suffered greatly, but we are going to bring it back and make it great again, greater than ever before.
We will be a nation like no other, full of compassion, courage, and exceptionalism.
Our power will stop all wars and bring a new spirit of unity to a world that has been angry, violent, and totally unpredictable.
America will be respected again and admired again, including by people of religion, faith, and goodwill.
We will be prosperous.
We will be proud.
We will be strong and we will win like never before.
We will not be conquered.
We will not be intimidated.
We will not be broken.
And we will not fail.
From this day on, the United States of America will be a free, sovereign, and independent nation.
We will stand bravely.
We will live proudly.
We will dream boldly.
And nothing will stand in our way because we are Americans, the future is ours, and our golden age has just begun.
Thank you.
God bless America.
Thank you all.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.”

“It is my hope that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.”
Detta bådar inte gott.
Jag tolkar det som att han är mer intresserad av att själv gå till historien än av landets bästa.
Stora “män” jobbar för sakens bästa och blir ihågkomna för det.
Själva historieskrivningen kommer dom en bieffekt.
Nu är det viktigaste att han ska bli ihågkommen, vad han gör för att bi det är i detta fallet en bieffekt.
Amerikaner är besatta av “history”. Examen “history major” verkar vara meriterande för alla former av jobb.
Lite spännande med tanke på deras relativt korta historia.
Jag fick en fråga från en Amerikan en gång.
– Har Sverige någon flotta?
-Ja, det har vi. Den är lite drygt dubbelt så gammal, som ert land.
Var på större middag i Philadelphia och fick frågan om jag varit här förut och svarade att vi var här innan ni kom hit…..
Underbar 🙂
Underbar 🙂
Underbar 🙂
En väldig massa målsättningar, väldigt lite hur.
Tack för transkriberingen. Mycket mer tidseffektivt och mindre plågsamt än att behöva lyssna på det.
Eller hur. Dessutom slipper man den känslomässiga påverkan som retoriska muntliga knep innebär, som ändring av röstläge, pauser mm, och kan bara läsa det faktiska innehållet utan bedragarens rätt kompetenta framträdande.
Bra poäng.
Tackar. En massa fina ord, nu får vi se vad som kommer…
Bäst att börja redan nu bygga på de nästa två årens ved…
Det finns säkert experter, som kan bedöma talet bättre än jag ur retorisk synpunkt.
Jag lyssnade på det.
Det var bitvis lysande.
Samtidigt ibland aggressivt och oroande.
Vi får hoppas att det mest var retorik.
Under alla omständigheter så är jag övertygad om att det gick hem hos många amerikaner.
På om retorik, Kristersson har ändrat sin en del på 4 år.
Formen eller innehållet?
Jag lät en chatrobot sammanfatta röran:
Här är en sammanfattning av Donald Trumps installationstal från 2025:
I talet presenterar Trump sin vision för USA under hans andra presidentperiod med flera huvudpunkter:
Huvudteman och löften:
Återställande av Amerika
– Deklarerar att “USA:s gyllene ålder börjar nu”
– Lovar att återställa nationens säkerhet och rättvisa
– Beskriver 20 januari 2025 som “Befrielsedagen” för amerikanska medborgare
Omedelbara åtgärder och exekutiva order:
– Utlyser nationellt nödläge vid södra gränsen
– Återinför “Remain in Mexico”-policyn
– Deklarerar energinödläge och lovar ökad oljeproduktion (“drill, baby, drill”)
– Avskaffar “Green New Deal” och upphäver mandatet för elfordon
Nya administrativa förändringar:
– Inrättar ett nytt “Department of Government Efficiency”
– Skapar “External Revenue Service” för att hantera tullar och avgifter
– Fastställer en officiell tvåkönspolicy
– Planerar att återta kontrollen över Panamakanalen
Utrikespolitik och säkerhet:
– Lovar att bygga världens starkaste militär
– Beskriver sig själv som “fredsmäklare och förenare”
– Nämner framgångar med gisslanfrigivning i Mellanöstern
Ekonomiska löften:
– Fokus på amerikansk tillverkning
– Införande av tullar på utländska varor
– Löften om att bekämpa inflation
– Prioritering av amerikanska arbetare och familjer
Talet avslutas med en vision om USA:s framtid som en “fri, suverän och oberoende nation” och löften om en ny “gyllene tidsålder”. Trump betonar särskilt enighet, styrka och amerikansk exceptionalism genom hela talet.
Noterbart är också att talet innehåller referenser till personliga erfarenheter, inklusive ett påstått mordförsök i Pennsylvania, och erkännande av ökat stöd från olika demografiska grupper, särskilt från afroamerikanska och latinamerikanska väljare.
Den chattroboten kan tänkas vara något opartisk:
“Noterbart är också att talet innehåller referenser till personliga erfarenheter, inklusive ett påstått mordförsök i Pennsylvania.”
Påstått?
Finns det folk som påstår att skytten siktade på örat och offrade sitt liv för att… vad?
Att botten skriver så måste ju tyda på att det anses vara rejält omstritt att det var ett mordförsök?
@LW, om du vill maximera sökträffarna bör du nog fixa till titeln på detta inlägg
Den korrekta stavningen är “inaugural”
/nörden i mig
Lol.
Om inte detta är Ukraina-relaterat så vet inte jag vad som skulle vara…:
“We have a government that has given unlimited funding to the defense of foreign borders, but refuses to defend American borders or, more importantly, its own people.”
Jag skummade talet—tacksam för transkriberingen så jag slapp lyssna på eländet. Tack, LW!
Jag vet inte uttrycket ”det bästa var…” funkar i sammanhanget men ändå;
Det bästa var ju ”vi ska snart döpa om Mexikanska Gulfen till Amerikanska Gulfen”!!
Hahhaha!
Men herregud! Tänk om Putin, Xi eller varför inte vår egen statsminister hade hållit detta talet? Tänk på det.
”Vi ska döpa om Östersjön till Svenska Havet, vi ska ta tillbaka Norge och Finland, för dem gav bort! vi ska sätta in militär mot danska gränsen, vi ska bli bäst på att bygga bensinbilar igen, det gav vi bort till Kina och de bygger elbilar nu! Det är dumt! Vi ska bygga bästa fartygen i världen igen”
Bla bla
Det amerikanska kollektiva egot är stort så den typen av retorik fungerar nog rätt på bra där. Men så har det väl iofs varit i alla imperier – före deras oundvikliga fall…
Amerika är ju ett samlingsnamn för både Nord- och Sydamerika, vilket oftast glöms bort.
Mer uppseendeväckande hade varit om den kallats “Amerikas förenta stater gulfen”.
“We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.”
Bravo.
Fast vad ska man ha en militär budget som motsvarar resten av topp 10 tillsammans till, om man inte ska vara världspolis?
Jag gillar Trump ungefär som jag gillar blöta strumpor, men man får ändå ge honom att han inte verkar gilla att kriga. Under hans mandatperiod var det väl något slags bottenrekord i militära insatser från USAs sida.
Det industriella militärkomplexet tycker inte om detta ett dugg.
Ja, nä, han bombade ju bara Assad i Syrien, Wagnerryssar i Syrien, fortsatte kriga i Afghanistan mm.
Har funderat en del på det där med tullar och avgifter. Han är ju inte dummare än att han förstår att om man lägger på traditionella tullar och skatter så ökar de interna priserna på just de varorna.
Jag undrar om han inte istället har tänkt sig att varje land, vars företag som vill sälja varor till USA så skall betala någon form av “statstull”, att det inte skall läggas direkt på enskilda varor
Eller vad tror ni
Eller så tror han det faktiskt att det funkar att lägga det på varor utan att inflationen sticker iväg, med tanke på:
“USA:s två största handelspartners Kanada och Mexiko ska beläggas med 25% tull om tio dagar”
Trump fattar inte hur importtullar fungerar, det är så uppenbart när han talsr om det.
Hur skulle en sådan statstull gå till? För det första är det är inte enskilda länder som exporterar, utan enskilda producenter. USA vänder sig till Frankrike och säger ni har exporterat till ett värde av x miljarder dollar till oss, vi vill nu ha 25 procent extra. Svar från Frankrike: Jaså? Då sket ni er allt på tummen.
För det andra är det inte USA som land som importerar utan enskilda företag. Tullen läggs på vid införandet. De företagen kan ju försöka låta bli att betala med hänvisning till att det borde vara exportörerna …
Till sist och slutligen är det som någon sa: om det hade funkat som Trump tror så hade ju inga länder tagit ut skatt av sina egna medborgare, utan tvingat omvärlden att stå för fiolerna.
keep our children safe, healthy, and disease-free.
Historiskt storartade förlag. Man kan bara önska att han var lite tydligare om vilka lysande vägar som skall användas. Skall man minska skolskjutningarna genom att öka tillgången på vapen, eller har NRA bättre förslag? Skall hälsan förbättras genom att ta bort vaccinerna, eller räcker det att förbjuda chemtrails? Eller är det nedmontering av Obama-care som fixar det? Det är ju svårt att veta vilken del av värdens bästa och unika förslag man skall applådera liksom.
Det ska bli intressant att se hur External Revenue Service kommer att fungera … En arbetsuppgift som redan utförs av Internal Revenue Service.
Trump tycks tro att importtullar betalas av de exporterande länderna.
Tack för transkribering! Avsevärt snabbare och mindre plågsamt att läsa igenom.
Delar inte alls bedömningen att det skalar bort “bra framträdande”, utan tycker tvärtom. Ytterst skeptisk till att jag skulle stått ut med att lyssna. När man läser låter han ju vettig, vilket han inte gör i verkligheten när han svamlar iväg, upprepar sig och tappar tråden.
Talet var kompetent genomfört, men så höll han sig till manus också (thank you, thank you är inte manus förstås). När han håller sig till det skrivna ordet kan han faktiskt tala rätt väl.
