Donald Trump spoke to the crowd after his swearing-in ceremony on Monday and gave a wide sweeping speech. He touched on many topics and gave clues about what he will focus on during his first days in office.
Trump began by claiming “the golden age of America begins right now. “From this day forward, our country will flourish.” Trump also reflected on his “assassination attempt” and claimed he was “saved by God to make America great again.”
So how does he plan to make America great again? Well, Trump says he plans kick things off with a slew of executive orders. Well one includes declaring a “national emergency at our southern border,” halting immigration and deporting “criminal immigrants.” As serious as he is, many people are having a hard time taking him seriously. Former Secretary of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was seen laughing as President Donald Trump voiced his intention to rename the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” during his inaugural address. He said at the time,
“A short time from now we will be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America,” Trump said. Clinton could be seen chuckling in the back as she laughs in disbelief.

Trump vowed to make the change as president-elect, saying “we do most of the work there.” “It’s ours. We’re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. It covers a lot of territory, what a beautiful name. It’s appropriate. Mexico has to stop millions of people to pour into our country. We’re going to put very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada,” Trump said when addressing the matter earlier this month at a press conference.

Within hours of Donald Trump taking the oath of office, billionaire Elon Musk gave the Nazi salute during his speech at an inauguration rally.
It was not an accident or a mistake, he did it twice.
