the chance to seize this opportunity like never before but first we must be honest about the challenges we face while they are plentiful they will be annihilated by this great momentum that the world is now witnessing in the United States of America As We Gather today our government confronts a crisis of trust for many years a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly in complete disrepair we now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home while at

the same time stumbling into a continuing catalog of catastrophic events abroad it fails to protect our magnificent law-abiding American citizens but provide sanctuary and protection for Dangerous criminals many from prisons and mental institutions that have illegally entered our country from all over the world we have a government that has given unlimited funding to the defense of foreign borders but refuses to defend American borders or more importantly its own people our country can no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency as recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina been treated so badly and

other states who are still suffering from a hurricane that took place many months ago or more recently Los Angeles where we are watching fires still tragically burn from weeks ago without even a token of defense they're raging through the houses and communities even affecting some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in our country some of whom are sitting here right now they don't have a home any longer that's interesting but we can't let this happen everyone is unable to to do anything about it that's going to change we have a public health system that

does not deliver in times of disaster yet more money is spent on it than any country anywhere in the world and we have an education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves in many cases to hate our country despite the love that we try so desperately to provide to them all of this will change starting today and it will change very quickly my recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal and all of these many betrayals that have taken place and to give the people back their faith

their wealth their democracy and indeed their their freedom from this moment on America's decline is over our liberties and our nation's glorious Destiny will no longer be denied and we will immediately restore the Integrity competency and loyalty of America's government over the past eight years I have been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250e history and I've learned a lot along the way the journey to reclaim our Republic has not been an easy one that I can tell you those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and

indeed to take my life just a few months ago in a beautiful Pennsylvania field at assassin's bullet ripped through my ear but I felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason I was saved by God to make America great again thank you very much that is why each day under our administration of American Patriots we will be working to meet every crisis with dignity and power and strength we will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope Prosperity safety and peace for citizens of every race religion

through tariffs and through Talent he was a natural businessman and gave Ted Roosevelt the money for many of the great things he did including the Panama Canal which has foolishly been given to the country of Panama after the United States the United States I mean think of this spent more money than ever spent on a project before and lost 38,000 lives in the building of the Panama Canal we have been treated very badly from this foolish gift that should have never been made and Panama's promise to us has been broken the purpose of our deal

and the spirit of our treaty has been totally violated American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way shape or form and that includes the United States Navy and above all China is operating the Panama Canal and we didn't give it to China we gave it to Panama and we're taking back above all my message to Americans today is that it is time for us to once again act with courage Vigor and the Vitality of History's Greatest civilization so as we liberate our nation we will lead it to new heights of
