Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2025. In his inaugural address, Trump referenced surviving an assassination attempt during his campaign last July in a beautiful Pennsylvania field in Butler. He said, 'Those who wished to stop our cause tried to take my freedom and indeed, take my life. An 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.' Trump declared that 'America's decline is over' and referred to January 20, 2025, as 'Liberation Day.' He emphasized that 'the journey to reclaim our Republic has not been an easy one,' underscoring his belief that his presidency fulfills a divine purpose.
