Trump sworn in, promises 'Golden Age' and policy reversals

During his second inauguration on January 20, 2025, Donald Trump declared the start of a 'Golden Age of America,' promising to reverse policies from his predecessor, Joe Biden, and implement a series of sweeping executive orders. He emphasized his commitment to enhancing military capabilities, tackling inflation through tariffs, and restoring immigration policies like the controversial 'Remain in Mexico' program. Trump painted a picture of a nation in disrepair but expressed optimism about America's future, vowing to put the country first and act as a peacemaker. His address notably highlighted a 'national energy emergency' to boost domestic fossil fuel production and pledged to unwind Biden-era climate regulations. While Trump faces a Congress with narrow Republican majorities, he appears emboldened to pursue his agenda. Notably, the ceremony included prominent supporters from the tech industry, signaling a potential shift in political alliances as Trump resumes office.
