President Donald Trump has promised a "golden age" for America. He was sworn in as the USA's 47th President on the 20th of January. He was also the 45th when he served in that role from 2017 to 2021. He made his acceptance speech in Washington, D.C. He promised to reshape America, stating: "The golden age of America begins right now. From this day forward, our country will [grow] and be respected again all over the world. We will be the envy of every nation." He added that: "During every single day of the Trump administration, I will very simply put America first."
President Trump said he had a God-given mission.
He spoke about the assassination attempt in July. He said: "My life was saved…by God to make America great again." One of Trump's biggest promises was for American astronauts to plant the Stars and Stripes flag on Mars. He vowed to strengthen the US economy. He also said he would use America's fossil fuels. He said: "We will drill, baby, drill." He added: "We have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have – the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth. And, we are going to use it."
