Donald J. Trump has been sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. As he addressed the nation, he made it clear why he believes he was saved after the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt last July, and what he will do during his second term.
“My life was saved for a reason,” the president says. “I was saved by God to make America great again.”
Trump promised that the “golden age of America begins right now,” when he first took to the podium, his hope for the nation on full display.

“From this moment on, our nation’s decline is over,” Trump says.
Trump noted that today, things in America would be changing very quickly. Being inaugurated on the same day as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the president says that we will make King’s dream come true, bringing a united nation together, stronger than ever before.
Discussing the first action items on his list to complete, Trump says we will see the end of threats and invasions, and he will bring executive orders into reality, including the changing of the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. The president promised to bring drilling back to America, a renewed border control and the end of the Green New Deal, promising Americans the option to choose whichever type of car they decide they want to use.
The president further detailed the ushering back in of free speech and the continuation of America’s manifest destiny, moving space exploration to Mars. No longer will transgender confusion reign, according to Trump, noting that there are only two genders, male and female. Above all, he says he wants to be a “peacemaker and a unifier.” He also promised that we will “not forget our God.”
“Our golden age has just begun,” says Trump.
The topic of faith continued throughout the entirety of the inaugural events with the Rev. Franklin Graham giving the invocation, along with Archbishop Timothy Dolan.
“Be still and know that I am God,” Dolan read from Psalm 46.
“We come to say thank you, O, Lord, our God,” says Graham. “Father, when Donald Trump’s enemies thought he was down and out, you and you alone saved his life, and raised him up with strength and power by Your mighty hand.”
Closing the inauguration service with prayers of benediction were Rabbi Ari Berman, Pastor Lorenzo Sewell and Rev. Frank Mann.
Reading from the prophet Jeremiah, Berman prayed for the Israeli hostages, thanking God for the three who returned home yesterday and for peace in Israel to break out in the next four years.
“America is called to greatness,” says Berman. “To be a beacon of light and a mover of history.”
Sewell followed Berman with gratitude to the Lord that we would finally experience freedom in America.
“Thank you, God almighty that we are free at last,” Sewell says. “If you believe where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, put your hands together and give your great God great glory.”
