"At 12.10pm, they listened intently as Trump began a half-hour-long inaugural address. The 47th president painted a bleak picture of America as a country where government was suffering a crisis of trust, failing to defend national borders and stumbling from catastrophe to catastrophe abroad. Reflecting on how he had narrowly escaped assassination, Trump declared: I was saved by God to make America great again."
"During every single day of the Trump administration, I will, very simply, put America first. Our sovereignty will be reclaimed. Our safety will be restored. The scales of justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponisation of the justice department and our government will end. Crime went down in every major category across the US during Trump's first year in office."
Temperature plunged to 27F (-3C) with a biting wind chill as Donald Trump's second inauguration took place in the Capitol rotunda on 20 January 2025. Former presidents Bill Clinton, George W Bush and Barack Obama, outgoing president Joe Biden, and tech leaders Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg attended. Trump delivered a half-hour address portraying government as suffering a crisis of trust, failing to defend borders and stumbling abroad, and said he had been saved by God to make America great again. He promised a flurry of executive orders and vowed to put America first, reclaim sovereignty, restore safety and rebalance justice. Crime fell across major categories during his first year, with about 20% fewer murders. His first attorney-general pick, Matt Gaetz, was rejected; Pam Bondi was appointed and 17 independent inspectors general were dismissed despite legal objections.
