PEOPLE DID NOT SHARE IN ITS PROSPERED BUT THE
JOBS LEFT AND THE FACTORIES
CLOSED.
THE ESTABLISHMENT PROTECTED
ITSELF.
BUT NOT THE SILT SENSE OF OUR
COUNTRY.
VICTORIES HAVE NOT BEEN YOUR
VICTORIES.
THEIR TRIUMPH MUCHS HAVE NOT
BEEN YOURS.
AS THEY CELEBRATEDDISH OUR
NATION'S CAPITAL THERE WAS
LITTLE TO CELEBRATE FOR
STRUGGLING FAMILIES ALL ACROSS
OUR LAND.
THAT ALL CHANGES STARTING RIGHT
HERE AND RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THIS
MOMENT IS YOUR MOMENT, IT
BELONGS TO YOU.
[ Applause ]
IT BELONGS TO EVERYONE GATHERED
HERE TODAY AND EVERYONE WATCHING
ALL ACROSS AMERICA.
THIS IS YOUR DAY, THIS IS YOUR
CELEBRATION AND THIS, THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, IS YOUR
COUNTRY.
WHAT TRULY MATTERS IS NOT WHICH
PARTY CONTROLS OUR GOVERNMENT
BUT WHETHER OUR GOVERNMENT IS
TROLLED BY THE PEOPLE.
IS CONTROLLED BY THE PEOPLE.
[ Applause ]
JANUARY 20th, 2017, WILL BE
REMEMBERED AS THE DAY THE PEOPLE
BECAME THE RULERS OF THIS NATION
AGAIN.
[ Cheering and Applause ]
THE FORGOTTEN MEN AND WOMEN OF
OUR COUNTRY WILL BE FORGOTTEN NO
LONGER.
EVERYONE IS LISTENING TO YOU
NOW, YOU CAME BY THE TENS OF
MILLIONS TO BECOME PART OF A
HISTORIC MOVEMENT, THE LIKES OF
WHICH THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN
BEFORE.
AT THE CENTER OF THIS MOVEMENT
IS A CRUCIAL CONVICTION, THAT A
NATION EXISTS TO SERVE ITS
CITIZENS.
AMERICANS WANT GREAT SCHOOLS FOR
THEIR CHILDREN, SAFE
NEIGHBORHOODS FOR THEIR FAMILIES
AND GOOD JOBS FOR THEMSELVES.
THESE ARE JUST AND REASONABLE
DEMANDS OF RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE AND
A RIGHTEOUS PUBLIC.
BUT FOR TOO MANY OF OUR CITIZENS
A DIFFERENT REALITY EXISTS.
MOTHERS AND CHILDREN TRAPPED IN
POVERTY IN OUR INNER CITIES.
RUSTED OUT FACTORIES SCATTERED
LIKE TOMBSTONES ACROSS THE
LANDSCAPE OF OUR NATION.
AN EDUCATION SYSTEM FLUSH WITH
CASH BUT WHICH LEAVES OUR YOUNG
AND BEAUTIFUL STUDENTS DEPRIVED
OF ALL KNOWLEDGE.
AND THE CRIME AND THE GANGS AND
THE DRUGS THAT HAVE STOLEN TOO
MANY LIVES AND ROBBED OUR
COUNTRY OF SO MUCH UNREALIZED
POTENTIAL.
THIS AMERICAN CARNAGE STOPS
RIGHT HERE AND STOPS RIGHT NOW.
[ Cheering and Applause ]
WE ARE ONE NATION AND THEIR PAIN
IS OUR PAIN.
THEIR DREAMS ARE OUR DREAMS.
AND THEIR SUCCESS WILL BE OUR
SUCCESS.
WE SHARE ONE HEART, ONE HOME AND
ONE GLORIOUS DESTINY.
THE OATH OF OFFICE I TAKE TODAY
IS AN OATH OF ALLEGIANCE TO ALL
AMERICANS.
FOR MANY DECADES WE'VE ENRICHED
FOREIGN INDUSTRY AT THE EXPENSE
OF AMERICAN INDUSTRY, SUBSIDIZED
THE ARMIES OF OTHER COUNTRIES
WHILE ALLOWING FOR THE VERY
SAADI PLEASE OF OUR HILL -- VERY
SAD DEPLETION OF OUR MILITARY.
WHILE REFUSING TO DEFEND OUR
OWN.
AND SPENT TRILLIONS AND
TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OVERSEAS
WHILE AMERICA'S INFRASTRUCTURE
HAS FALLEN INTO DISREPAIR AND
DECAY.
WE'VE MADE OTHER COUNTRIES RICH
WHILE THE WEALTH, STRENGTH AND
CONFIDENCE OF OUR COUNTRY HAS
DISSIPATED OVER THE HORIZON.
ONE BY ONE THE FACTORS REES --
KNACK TORE REES SHUTTERED AND
LEFT OUR SHORES WITHOUT A
THOUGHT ABOUT MILLIONS AND
MILLIONS OF AMERICAN WORKERS
THAT WERE LEFT BEHIND.
THE WEALTH OF OUR MIDDLE CLASS
HAS BEEN RIPPED FROM THEIR HOMES
AND THEN REDISTRIBUTED ALL
ACROSS THE WORLD.
BUT THAT IS THE PAST AND NOW WE
ARE LOOKING ONLY TO THE FUTURE.
[ Applause ]
WE ASSEMBLED HERE TODAY ARE
ISSUING A NEW DECREE TO BE HEARD
IN EVERY CITY, IN EVERY FOREIGN
CAPITAL AND EVERY HALL OF POWER,
FROM THIS DAY FORWARD A NEW
VISION WILL GOVERN OUR LAND.
FROM THIS DAY FORWARD IT'S GOING
TO BE ONLY AMERICA FIRST,
AMERICA FIRST.
[ Cheering and Applause ]
EVERY DECISION ON TRADE, ON
TAXES, ON IMMIGRATION, ON
FOREIGN AFFAIRS WILL BE MADE TO
BENEFIT AMERICAN WORKERS AND
AMERICAN FAMILIES.
WE MUST PROTECT OUR BORDERS FROM
THE RAVAGES OF OTHER COUNTRIES
MAKING OUR PRODUCTS, STEALING
OUR COMPANIES AND DESTROYING OUR
JOBS.
PROTECTION WILL LEAD TO GREAT
PROSPERITY AND STRENGTH.
I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU WITH EVERY
BREATH IN MY BODY AND I WILL
NEVER, EVER LET YOU DOWN.
[ Cheering and Applause ]
AMERICA WILL START
WINNING AGAIN, WINNING LIKE
NEVER BEFORE.
WE WILL BRING BACK OUR JOBS.
WE WILL BRING BACK OUR BORDERS.
WE WILL BRING BACK OUR WEALTH
AND WE WILL BRING BACK OUR
DREAMS.
WE WILL BUILD NEW ROADS AND
HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES AND
AIRPORTS AND TUNNELS AND RAIL
WAYS ALL ACROSS OUR WONDERFUL
NATION.
WE WILL GET OUR PEOPLE OFF OF
WELFARE AND BACK TO WORK,
REBUILDING OUR COUNTRY WITH
AMERICAN HANDS AND AMERICAN
LABOR.
WE WILL FOLLOW TWO SIMPLE RULES.
BUY AMERICAN AND HIRE AMERICAN.
WE WILL SEEK FRIENDSHIP AND
GOODWILL WITH THE NATIONS OF THE
WORLD, BUT WE DO SO WITH THE
UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS THE
RIGHT OF ALL NATIONS TO PUT
THEIR OWN INTERESTS FIRST.
WE DO NOT SEEK TO IMPOSE OUR WAY
OF LIFE ON ANYONE, BUT RATHER TO
LET IT SHINE AS AN EXAMPLE, WE
WILL SHINE FOR EVERYONE TO
FOLLOW.
[ Applause ]
WE WILL REINFORCE OLD ALLIANCES
AND FORM NEW ONES AND UNITE THE
CIVILIZED WORLD AGAINST RADICAL
ISLAMIC TERRORISM WHICH WE WILL
ERADICATE COMPLETELY FROM THE
FACE OF THE EARTH.
[ Cheering and Applause ]
AT THE BEDROCK OF OUR POLITICS
WILL BE A TOTAL ALLEGIANCE TO
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND
THROUGH OUR LOYALTY TO OUR
COUNTRY WE WILL REDISCOVER OUR
LOYALTY TO EACH OTHER.
WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR HEART TO
PATRIOTISM, THERE IS NO ROOM FOR
PREJUDICE.
[ Applause ]
THE BIBLE TELLS US HOW GOOD AND
PLEASANT IT IS WHEN GOD'S PEOPLE
LIVE TOGETHER IN UNITY.
WE MUST SPEAK OUR MINDS OPENLY,
DEBATE OUR DISAGREEMENTS
HONESTLY BUT ALWAYS PURSUE
SOLIDARITY.
WHEN AMERICA IS UNITED, AMERICA
IS TOTALLY UNSTOPPABLE.
THERE SHOULD BE NO FEAR, WE ARE
PROTECTED AND WE WILL ALWAYS BE
PROTECTED.
WE WILL BE PROTECTED BY THE
GREAT MEN AND WOMEN OF OUR
MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WE WILL BE
PROTECTED BY GOD.
[ Cheering and Applause ]
FINALLY, WE MUST THINK BIG AND
DREAM EVEN BIGGER.
IN AMERICA WE UNDERSTAND THAT A
NATION IS ONLY LIVING AS LONG AS
IT IS STRIVING.
WE WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT
POLITICIANS WHO ARE ALL TALK AND
NO ACTION, CONSTANTLY
COMPLAINING BUT NEVER DOING
ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
[ Applause ]
THE TIME FOR EMPTY TALK IS OVER.
NOW ARRIVES THE HOUR OF ACTION.
DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO TELL YOU
THAT IT CANNOT BE DONE, NO
CHALLENGE CAN MATCH THE HEART
AND FIGHT AND SPIRIT OF AMERICA.
WE WILL NOT FAIL.
OUR COUNTRY WILL THRIVE AND
PROSPER AGAIN.
WE STAND AT THE BIRTH OF A NEW
MILLENNIUM, READY TO UNLOCK THE
MYSTERIES OF SPACE TO, FREE THE
EARTH FROM THE MISERIES OF
DISEASE AND TO HARNESS THE
ENERGIES INDUSTRIES AND
TECHNOLOGIES OF TOMORROW.
A NEW NATIONAL PRIDE WILL LIFT
HOUR SIGHTS AND HEAL OUR
DIVISIONS.
IT'S TIME TO REMEMBER THAT OLD
WISDOM OUR SOLDIERS WILL NEVER
FORGET, THAT WHETHER WE ARE
BLACK OR BROWN OR WHITE, WE ALL
BLEED THE SAME RED BLOOD OF
PATRIOTS.
[ Cheering and Applause ]
WE ALL ENJOY THE SAME GLORIOUS
FREEDOMS AND WE ALL SALUTE THE
SAME GREAT AMERICAN FLAG.
AND WHETHER A CHILD IS BORN IN
THE URBAN SPRAWL OF DETROIT OR
THE WIND-SWEPT PLAINS OF
NEBRASKA, THEY LOOK UP AT THE
SAME NIGHT SKY, THEY FILL THEIR
HEART WITH THE SAME DREAMS AND
THEY ARE INFUSED WITH THE BREATH
OF LIFE BY THE SAME ALMIGHTY
CREATOR.
[ Applause ]
SO TO ALL AMERICANS IN EVERY
CITY NEAR AND FAR, SMALL AND
LARGE, FROM MOUNTAIN TO
MOUNTAINF OCEAN TO OCEAN, HEAR
THESE WORDS, YOU WILL NEVER BE
IGNORED AGAIN.
[ Cheering and Applause ]
YOUR VOICE, YOUR HOPES AND YOUR
DREAMS WILL DEFINE OUR AMERICAN
DESTINY.
AND YOUR COURAGE AND GOODNESS
AND LOVE WILL FOREVER GUIDE US
ALONG THE WAY.
TOGETHER WE WILL MAKE AMERICA
STRONG AGAIN.
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA WEALTHY
AGAIN.
T WE WILL MAKE AMERICA PROUD
AGAIN.
WE WILL MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN.
AND, YES, TOGETHER WE WILL MAKE
AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
THANK YOU, GOD BLESS YOU AND GOD
BLESS AMERICA.
[ Cheering and Applause ]
THANK YOU.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
