首席大法官羅伯茨先生,卡特前總統(tǒng),克林頓前總統(tǒng),布什前總統(tǒng),奧巴馬前總統(tǒng),各位美國同胞,世界人民,感謝你們。
各位美國公民們,我們正參與到一項偉大的全國性事業(yè)當中:重建我們的國家,重塑對全體人民的承諾。我們將一起決定未來很多年內美國乃至全世界的道路。
我們將遭遇挑戰(zhàn)。我們會遇到困難。但是我們能將這項事業(yè)完成。每過四年,我們都相聚在這里進行有序和平的權力交接。
我們應該感謝總統(tǒng)奧巴馬和第一夫人米歇爾·奧巴馬,他們在權力交接中,慷慨地給予我以幫助。他們真的很棒。謝謝你們。
今天的就職典禮有著特殊的意義。因為,今天,我們不只是將權力由一任總統(tǒng)交接到下一任總統(tǒng),由一個政黨交接給另一政黨。
今天我們是將權力由華盛頓交接到了人民的手中,即你們的手中。
長久以來,華盛頓的一小群人攫取了利益果實,代價卻要由人民來承受。華盛頓欣欣向榮,人民卻沒有分享到財富。政客們塞滿了腰包,工作機會卻越來越少,無數工廠關門。
建制派保護的是他們自己,而不是我們國家的公民。他們的成功和勝利不屬于你們。當他們在我們的首都歡呼慶祝時,這片土地上無數在掙扎奮斗的家庭卻沒有什么可以慶祝的。但這些都會改變,在此地改變,在此時改變。因為你們的時刻來臨了,這一刻屬于你們。
這次勝利屬于今天聚集在這里的所有人以及全國正在看這次典禮的所有美國人。這是屬于你們的一天。這是你們的慶祝日。我們所在的美利堅合眾國,是你們的國家。
真正重要的并不是政府由哪個黨派掌控,而是讓政府由人民做主。2017年1月20日,這一天將會被銘記,美國人重新成為了國家的主宰者。
曾經被忽視的美國人不會繼續(xù)被忽視。
現在,所有人都在傾聽你們。你們數以千萬計地投入到這場歷史運動中,這樣的事情世界上從來沒有過。
這一就職典禮的核心是一種信念——我們堅信國家是為服務人民而存在的。我們國家想要為孩子們提供優(yōu)良的學校學校教育,為家庭提供安全的生活環(huán)境,為每個人提供好的就業(yè)崗位。
這些是正直的人民,正直的公眾發(fā)出的合理訴求。但是很多人面對的現實卻與我們的期望不相符。在內城區(qū),母親和孩子正陷于貧困之中,生銹的工廠像墓碑一樣布滿我們國家的土地,教育系統(tǒng)充斥著黑暗的權錢交易,我們年輕又俊俏的學生們因此被剝奪了本該習得的知識。犯罪團體和毒品奪走了許多生命,阻礙了我們國家未開發(fā)潛力的釋放。我們國家中的這些屠殺行為將永久結束在此地、結束在此刻。
我們同屬一個國家,他們的痛苦就是我們的痛苦。他們的夢想也是我們的夢想,他們的成就將是我們的成就。我們萬眾一心,同住一個家園,將會共享耀眼的成就。
今天我所做的就職誓言是對所有美國人的效忠。幾十年來,我們以美國工業(yè)的衰落為代價為別國的工業(yè)輸送營養(yǎng),為別國軍隊施以援助,但對我國軍力的耗損視而不見。
我們曾經致力于保衛(wèi)其他國家的領地,卻忽略了我們自己的領土。
我們曾經將成千上萬億美元轉移到海外,我們自己的基礎設施卻年久失修、長年荒廢。
我們幫助其他走上了富裕之路,我們自己的財富、力量和自信卻逐漸消失在地平線上。我們的工廠一個接一個倒閉,而我們成千上萬被落在后面的工人被長久忽視。
我們中產階級的財富被剝削,再被分配給世界其他國家。
但這些都是過去了,我們現在要看向未來。
我們今天聚集于此,是為了頒布新的命令,讓它在每個城市、每個國家的首都、每座權力的殿堂回響。從今天開始,我們的國家將擁有新的遠景。從今天開始,只有美國第一——美國第一。
每一個關于貿易、關于稅收、關于移民、關于外交的決定,都會為了美國工人和美國家庭的利益而做出。我們要保護我們的國界不受其他國家的破壞,他們生產了本屬于我們的商品,偷走了本來要投資在我們國土上的公司,毀掉了我們的工作機會。
只有保護,才能有真正的富強。我會拼盡每一口氣,為你們奮戰(zhàn)到底。而且我永遠,永遠不會讓你們失望。
美國會重新成為勝者,它的勝利將遠超昔日的榮光。
我們會拿回屬于我們的工作。我們會重新守衛(wèi)住國界。我們會奪回我們的財富,和我們的夢想。在我們遼闊偉大的國土上,我們要建立新的道路、高速公路、橋梁、機場、隧道和鐵路,人民不再依靠福利,而是回到工作崗位,依靠美國人的雙手,美國人的勞動,重建我們的國家。我們將遵循兩條最簡單的原則——買美國的商品,雇美國的工人。
我們會同世界其他國家和睦修好。
但是基于以下共識:所有國家都有權以自己的利益為先。我們不尋求將自己的生活方式強加于人,更期望它能自己發(fā)光發(fā)亮成為榜樣。所有愿意效仿我們的人都能感受到這種光亮。
我們會加固與舊盟友的關系,建立新的聯(lián)盟。文明世界的國家會團結起來,以抵御激進的伊斯蘭恐怖主義,我們會把他們從地球表面全部清除。
政治必須以完全擁護我們自己的國家為基礎。通過忠誠于我們的國家,我們會實現我們彼此之間的忠誠。當你心懷愛國主義,你便不會再心存偏見。
圣經告訴我們,當上帝的子民團結一致,那情景將是妙不可言的。我們必須坦率地表達我們的觀點,真誠地就不同觀點進行辯論,但同時,我們也要追求團結一致。當美國人民團結在一起時,美國會變得勢不可當。
我們不需要再心存恐懼。我們會被保護,我們會永遠被保護。來自軍隊和執(zhí)法部門這些優(yōu)秀的男男女女,將會保護我們。更重要的是,上帝會保佑我們。
最后,在美國,我們要敢想,更要敢做夢。我們必須理解,一個國家只有不斷進取,才能生存下去。我們不再接納那些只說不做、只會抱怨而從不試圖做出改變的政客。
講空話的時代已經結束了?,F在是行動的時間。
不要聽信任何人說你不可能成功。美國人的心性、戰(zhàn)斗力和精神可以克服任何挑戰(zhàn)。我們不會失敗。我們的國家會重新發(fā)展和繁榮起來。我們即將迎來新的一個世紀,準備好了破解太空的奧秘,將世界從疾病的痛苦中解脫,駕馭未來的新能源、新產業(yè)和新技術。一種新的國家榮譽感在我們心中激蕩,提升視野、縫合分裂?,F在是時候讓美國的“斗士們”再次記起一種古老的智慧——不管我們是黑皮膚,棕色皮膚,還是白皮膚,我們都流著愛國者的紅色血液。
我們共同享受自由的光輝,我們共同向偉大的美國國旗致敬。
我們的孩子,不管是出生在底特律城郊,還是內布拉斯加州被風吹拂的平原上,他們仰望的都是同一片夜空,他們的內心都承載著同樣的夢想,他們的生命都由同一個萬能的主所賦予。
所有的美國人,無論遠近,即使遠隔千山萬水,你們也要記?。耗阍僖膊粫缓鲆暋?/p>
你們的聲音,你們的希望和你們的夢想,將定義美國的命運。你們的勇氣、善意和愛將永遠指引我們的方向。我們會讓美國再次強大。我們會讓美國再次富有。我們會讓美國再次驕傲。我們會讓美國再次安全。當然,我們將共同做到這些,謝謝你們,讓美國再次強大。上帝保佑你們。上帝保佑美利堅。謝謝!

REMARKS OF PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP – AS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY
INAUGURAL ADDRESS
FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 2017
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans and people of the world, thank you.
We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and restore its promise for all of our people. Together we will determine the course of America and the world for many, many years to come.
We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done. Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power.
And we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent. Thank you.
Today's ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today, we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another.
But we are transferring power from Washington D.C. and giving it back to you, the people.
For too long, a small group in our nation's capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. Washington flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered, but the jobs left. And the factories closed.
The establishment protected itself but not the citizens of our country. Their victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs have not been your triumphs. And while they celebrated in our nation’s capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land. That all changes starting right here and right now. Because this moment is your moment. It belongs to you.
It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America. This is your day. This is your celebration. And this, the United States of America, is your country.
What truly matters is not which party controls our government but whether our government is controlled by the people. January 20th, 2017 will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.
The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.
Everyone is listening to you now. You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement, the likes of which the world has never seen before.
At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction -- that a nation exist to serve its citizens. Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families and good jobs for themselves.
These are just and reasonable demands of righteous people and a righteous public. But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exist. Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities, rusted out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation, an education system flushed with cash but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge. And the crime, and the gangs, and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential. This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.
We are one nation, and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams, and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home and one glorious destiny.
The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans. For many decades, we've enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry, subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military.
We defended other nation’s borders while refusing to defend our own.
And spent trillions and trillions of dollars overseas while America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay.
We've made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has dissipated over the horizon. One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores with not even a thought about the millions and millions of American workers that were left behind.
The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed all across the world.
But that is the past and now we are looking only to the future.
We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital and in every hall of power. From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. From this day forward, it's going to be only America first -- America first.
Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs will be made to benefit American workers and American families. We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies and destroying our jobs.
Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength. I will fight for you with every breath in my body. And I will never, ever let you down.
America will start winning again, winning like never before.
We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth, and we will bring back our dreams. We will build new roads and highways and bridges and airports and tunnels and railways all across our wonderful nation. We will get our people off of welfare and back to work rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor. We will follow two simple rules -- buy American and hire American.
We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world.
But we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first. We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone but rather to let it shine as an example. We will shine for everyone to follow.
We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones. And unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the earth.
At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other. When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.
The Bible tells us how good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity. We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreement honestly but always pursue solidarity. When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.
There should be no fear. We are protected, and we will always be protected. And most importantly, We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement. We will be protected by God.
Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger. In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving. We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action, constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.
The time for empty talk is over. Now arrives the hour of action.
Do not allow anyone to tell you that it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America. We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again. We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the earth from the miseries of disease and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow. A new national pride will stir ourselves, lift our sights and heal our divisions. It’s time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget -- that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots.
We all enjoyed the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American flag.
And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, They look up at the same night sky, they build a heart with the same dreams and they are infused with the breath of life by the same Almighty Creator.
So to all Americans in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, from ocean to ocean, hear these words -- you will never be ignored again.
Your voice, your hopes and your dreams will define our American destiny. Together, And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way. We will make America strong again. We will make America wealthy again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And yes, together, thank you. we will make America great again. God bless you. And God bless America. Thank You.
