Trump to promise 'new era of national success' in inaugural address
President-elect Trump is set to promise a “new era of national success” in his inaugural address, according to The Wall Street Journal.
“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,” a part of the inaugural address, which the Journal first obtained, reads.
“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,” the speech continues.
The former president's inauguration ceremony on Monday is set to take place inside the Capitol Rotunda instead of the West Front of the Capitol due to cold weather.
Trump’s return to the presidency comes after an intense 2024 election cycle that featured one of the major candidates dropping out and assassination attempts against the president-elect. He enters the office amid a period of heated political rhetoric on both sides of the aisle.
In President Biden’s inaugural address four years ago, he pushed for “unity,” saying that Americans “can see each other not as adversaries but as neighbors.”
“We can treat each other with dignity and respect. We can join forces, stop the shouting, and lower the temperature. For without unity, there is no peace, only bitterness and fury,” he added.
The expected attendees for Monday's swearing-in ceremony include Biden, former President Clinton, former President George W. Bush and former President Obama. Other expected guests include tech moguls such as Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
