We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"zn-body__read-all\">\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">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 gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Today\u2019s 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 \u2014 but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/interactive\/2017\/01\/politics\/words-from-the-past\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Words from the past: Inauguration speech library<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">For too long, a small group in our nation\u2019s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. Washington flourished \u2014 but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered \u2014 but the jobs left, and the factories closed.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">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\u2019s capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">That all changes \u2014 starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America. This is your day. This is your celebration. And this, the United States of America, is your country.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people. January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Everyone is listening to you now.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before. At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves. These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">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 knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We are one nation \u2014 and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">For many decades, we\u2019ve 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\u2019ve defended other nation\u2019s borders while refusing to defend our own; and spent trillions of dollars overseas while America\u2019s infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We\u2019ve made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">But that is the past. 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.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">From this moment on, it\u2019s going to be America First.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families. We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs. Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">I will fight for you with every breath in my body \u2014 and I will never, ever let you down.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">America will start winning again, winning like never before.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">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.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We will get our people off of welfare and back to work \u2014 rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and hire American.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world \u2014 but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones \u2014 and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice. The Bible tells us, \u201cHow good and pleasant it is when God\u2019s people live together in unity.\u201d<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">There should be no fear \u2014 we are protected, and we will always be protected.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action \u2014 constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">The time for empty talk is over. Now arrives the hour of action.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights, and heal our divisions.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Creator.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words:<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">You will never be ignored again.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Together, We will make America strong again.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We will make wealthy again.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We will make America proud again.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">We will make America safe again.<\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">And yes, together, we will make America great again. Thank you. God bless you. And God bless America.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"zn-body__paragraph\">Source:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2017\/01\/20\/politics\/trump-inaugural-address\/index.html\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">CNN<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rather than pre-read, parse and digest\u00a0it for you, I\u2019m going to publish President Trump\u2019s full speech and let you read it and think it through for yourselves.
