Breaking tradition, the Republican president delivered his remarks from inside the Capitol Rotunda due to the bitter cold outside.
Eight years ago, Trump described “American carnage” and promised to end it immediately. On Monday, he declared that the country’s “decline” will end immediately, ushering in “the golden age of America.”
“The golden age of America begins right now,” Trump said after ticking through the requisite nods to former presidents and other dignitaries. He added several more promises: The ”start of a thrilling new era.” A nation “greater, stronger and far more exceptional than ever before.” He did not mention his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, or any other Democrats by name. But there was no question about whom he was talking.
“The journey to reclaim our republic has not been an easy one, that I can tell you. Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and, indeed, to take my life,” Trump said. That cuts to the heart of one of the many contradictions in Trump’s movement. The new president revels in a confrontational, macho approach that revved up his support among young men. His political career has been built on seeking conflict and tearing down rivals. Yet Trump has also positioned himself as someone who’ll end conflicts and usher in peace.The audience in the Capitol Rotunda included some of the nation’s most powerful tech titans, who have moved to embrace Trump since his victory.
