Donald Trump is set to be sworn in as U.S. President on Monday, marking the start of his second term and a remarkable political comeback. According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump will call for a “revolution of common sense” in his inaugural address, emphasizing optimism and courage. “I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country,” Trump’s remarks state.
The inauguration ceremony, originally planned for the U.S. Capitol, will take place inside the congressional complex due to extreme cold. Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the oath at 12 p.m. EST (1700 GMT). Trump’s return to the presidency highlights one of the most surprising comebacks in U.S. political history.
In his first actions as president, Trump plans to sign a series of executive orders aimed at reshaping his administration’s agenda. Over 100 orders and directives, focusing on areas like energy and immigration, are expected to be issued immediately. Insiders describe the effort as “shock and awe,” signaling the administration’s intent to enact sweeping changes from Day One.
Trump’s leadership style and policy priorities are likely to dominate the national and international conversation in the coming months. His inaugural remarks aim to inspire Americans to embrace courage and determination, heralding a new chapter for the nation.
This historic day underscores a renewed focus on leadership, policy transformation, and national success, setting the tone for the next four years.
