In an unprecedented turn of events, Donald Trump has been inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States inside the Capitol Rotunda. This marks the first time in over a century that a U.S. president has returned to office after losing a reelection bid.
Unlike his first inauguration, Trump's inaugural address this time around was notably more subdued, omitting phrases like \"American carnage\". Instead, he promised a new \"Golden Age\" for the nation, emphasizing a shift towards American expansionism. Among his bold proposals are renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, reclaiming the Panama Canal, and even hints at purchasing Greenland and annexing Canada.
Trump's economic policies are set to take a mercantilist and nationalistic turn. He declared, \"Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens.\" This includes plans to enhance America's industrial capabilities by tapping into the \"liquid gold under our feet\", ending the Green New Deal, and revoking mandates on electric vehicles to support American auto workers.
In a move that underscores his commitment to American sovereignty, Trump has already signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement, citing unfair burdens on American industries. Additionally, the U.S. is pulling out of the World Health Organization, aligning with his administration's stance on prioritizing national interests.
As the nation braces for the changes ahead, all eyes are on how Trump's second term will reshape America's role on the global stage and its internal economic landscape.
