'America First': Trump bares his vision for future

January 20, 2017 22:49

After being sworn in, Trump addresses the people for the first time as the President of the United States.

He says, "Thank you.

"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 all of the world for many many years to come."

Here are the highlights of his address:

-- We are transferring power from Washington DC and giving it back to you the people

-- For too long politicians prospered but jobs left and factories closed

-- This moment is your moment and it belongs to you, to everyone gathered here and to everyone watching across America

-- January 20th, 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers once again. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. Everyone is listening to you now"

-- "We've made other countries rich while the wealth, strength and confidence of our country has dissipated over the horizon. One by one, the factories have left our shores.

-- "The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and redistributed all across the world.

-- "From this day forward its going to be only America first, America first!"

-- "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. We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth. And we will bring back our dreams."

-- We will unite the civilised world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the earth."

-- When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice"

-- We must think big and dream even bigger. l will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action, constantly complaining, but never doing anything abut it.

-- "The time for empty talk is over, now arrives the hour for action. Do not alow anyone to tell you that it cannot be done."
