He pledged to restore faith, wealth, democracy, and freedom, promising a 'golden age'.

Trump also announced his intention to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America' and Mount Denali back to Mount McKinley in his first executive orders.

"I was going to talk about the J6 hostages," Trump said. "But you'll be happy because, you know, it's action not words that count."He also went after former Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, two Republican members of the House Jan. 6 Committee who are outspoken critics of Trump because of his actions after the 2020 election.
Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on the social platform X that the Gulf of Mexico will be renamed the Gulf of America and Denali - the highest mountain in North America - will revert to Mount McKinley, its former name until the Obama administration changed it in 2015.
