WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said he would sign a series of executive orders on Monday and vowed to begin a “total rebuilding of America and a revolution of common sense” in his inaugural speech, sharply criticizing outgoing President Joe Biden and Democrats.
GLOBAL CHANGES
“A tide of change is sweeping the earth. Sunlight is shining all over the world and America has an opportunity to seize this opportunity like never before, but first we must be honest about the challenges we face.”
CRITICISM OF BIDEN
“We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home, while at the same time stumbling through an endless catalog of catastrophic events abroad. It does not protect our magnificent law-abiding American citizens, but it provides sanctuary and protection to dangerous criminals, many of them from prisons and mental institutions, who have illegally entered our country from all over the world.”
REFERENCE TO FOREIGN WARS
“We have a government that has committed unlimited funds to defend foreign borders, but refuses to defend America’s borders or, more importantly, its own people.”
HEALTH, EDUCATION CHANGE
“We have a public health system that fails in times of disaster, yet more money is spent on it than any country in the world. And we have an education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves, in many cases, to hate their country, despite the love we are so desperately trying to give them, all that will change starting today, and very soon.”
SAVED BY GOD
“During the past eight years I have been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250-year history … Those who want to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and in fact take my life. Just a few months before, in a beautiful field in Pennsylvania, an assassin’s bullet pierced my ear, but I felt then and believe, even more now, that my life was saved for the cause of making America great again.”
DRILL BABY DRILL
“The inflation crisis was caused by massive overspending and rising energy prices. And that’s why today I’m going to declare an energy emergency. We’re going to drill the drill.”
