Trump prepared to hammer winning ‘common sense’ message home in inaugural address
President-elect Donald Trump‘s second inaugural address will lean on the “common sense” message that propelled him to victory over President Joe Biden and returned Republicans to power in Washington, D.C.
Trump will deliver his address on Monday inside the Capitol Rotunda, immediately after he is sworn in as the 47th president of the United States.
“I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country,” he’s expected to say, according to excerpts obtained by the Wall Street Journal. “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.”
The president-elect’s inaugural address in 2017 focused on “American carnage,” as Trump laid out how he believed the government had taken advantage of the people while “a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government.”
He also vowed to protect the U.S. from the “the ravages of other countries.” The speech received mixed reviews, though matched the themes he campaigned on. Former President George W. Bush later told Hillary Clinton that he thought the speech was “some weird s***.”
Trump’s 2025 speech is likely to be more optimistic. An anonymous Trump adviser told the Washington Post the message will project “unity” and will present the question of: “Can’t we all get along?”
Some political onlookers view the address as an opportunity for Trump to take a “victory lap” following his election win.
“It’s going to be something that he views as a victory lap for himself,” Cayce Myers, a professor of public relations at Virginia Tech, told the outlet. “It will be a departure from what we have seen in modern American politics.”
Myers also expects the address to be longer, as the president-elect and guests have been moved inside to escape the frigid temperature in Washington, D.C.
He could also improvise, as he did at the Republican National Convention.
“He feeds off that audience, so if the audience is being very receptive to what he’s saying, he may continue some of those candid remarks,” Myers said.
Trump stands in an unusual position for his second inaugural address as only the second president ever to deliver a second inaugural address with a four-year break between speeches. The break could serve to change Trump’s tone. He’s expected to point out the nation’s problems in transparent terms, and provide his solutions.
Former Presidents Bill Clinton, George Bush, and Barack Obama are attending Trump’s swearing-in ceremony and address. Former first lady Michelle Obama will not attend the ceremony.
After his address, Trump will set off on a day in which he’s expected to sign hundreds of executive orders addressing immigration, economics, foreign policy, and energy. During his rally on Sunday, Trump said he would “act with historic speed and strength and fix every single crisis facing our country”.”
The Washington Examiner reached out to the Trump transition team for comment, but did not receive a response.
