Trump's Inaugural Address Overview
Donald Trump's inaugural address presented a notably darker tone compared to his previous speeches. He emphasized the idea of taking power back from the establishment and outlined his plans with a focus on what he perceived as the failures of the Biden administration. The address included controversial proposals, such as referring to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America and hinted at plans to pardon January 6th rioters. This duality in his speech showcased his commitment to his base while attempting to position himself for a so-called ‘golden age’ for America.
