What a great honor to introduce for the first time ever anywhere the 45th President of the

United States of America, Donald J. Trump.

Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama,

fellow Americans and people of the world, thank you.

(APPLAUSE) We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild

our country and restore its promise for all of our people.

Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for many, many years

We will face challenges, we will confront hardships, but we will get the job done.

Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer

of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their

Today's ceremony, however, has very special meaning because today, we are not merely transferring

power from one administration to another or from one party to another, but we are transferring

power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the people.

For too long, a small group in our nation's capital has reaped the rewards of government

Washington flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth.

Politicians prospered, but the jobs left and the factories closed.

The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.

Their victories have not been your victories.

Their triumphs have not been your triumphs.

And while they celebrated in our nation's capital, there was little to celebrate for

That all changes starting right here and right now because this moment is your moment, it

It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America.

And this, the United States of America, is your country.

What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government

January 20th, 2017 will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation

The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement, the likes of

At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction, that a nation exists to serve

Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and

These are just and reasonable demands of righteous people and a righteous public.

But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: mothers and children trapped

in poverty in our inner cities; rusted out factories scattered like tombstones across

the landscape of our nation; an education system flush with cash, but which leaves our

young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge; and the crime and the gangs and

the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

(APPLAUSE) We are one nation and their pain is our pain.

We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.

The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.

For many decades, we've enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry; subsidized

the armies of other countries, while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military.

We've defended other nations' borders while refusing to defend our own.

And spent trillions and trillions of dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has

We've made other countries rich, while the wealth, strength and confidence of our country

One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about

the millions and millions of American workers that were left behind.

The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed all

And now, we are looking only to the future.

We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every

foreign capital, and in every hall of power.

From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.

From this day forward, it's going to be only America first, America first.

Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs will be made to benefit

We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing

Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.

I will fight for you with every breath in my body and I will never ever let you down.

America will start winning again, winning like never before.
