Donald Trump Sworn in as America's 45th President

  "...I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear...” Donald Trump took the oath of office Friday to become the 45th president of the United States. He vowed to transfer power from Washington, D.C. to “the American people.” Outgoing President Barack Obama stood nearby as the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, John G. Roberts, Jr., administered the oath of office to Trump. At his side for the ceremony was his wife Melania and his five children. Mike Pence had been sworn in as Vice-President moments before. It is the scene that has been repeated every four years since 1789. Patriotic music was played. And canons were fired.  The Capitol building was decorated with flags. Hundreds of thousands of people came to the Capitol grounds to see the new president sworn in. They wore red white and blue clothing with Trump’s name on it. Some wrapped themselves in flags. Many cheered the man they had elected to the office.   In his inaugural address, President Trump continued with the populist theme that brought him to victory after a bitter campaign. “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." A light rain fell as Trump spoke. He said this will be the day the people will become the rulers. His words targeted many of the very people who surrounded him at the Capitol—Washington’s top political leaders. “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.” The new president spoke of putting America ahead of all other nations. “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.”   He said there will be two simple rules to follow: “Buy American and hire American.” “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.” The new U.S. president also said his administration “will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world.” He also said his administration will attack “radical Islamic terrorism” saying he will “eradicate (it) completely from the face of the Earth.” Former presidents Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush were there, as was Bill Clinton. His wife, Hillary Clinton sat with him. She was Trump’s opponent in the election where many angry words were said. Ninety-two-year-old former President George H.W. Bush, the 41st president, was unable to attend because he is sick.   Many House Democrats refused to attend the ceremony. Trump takes leadership of a nation divided over his election. He is a billionaire businessman with no experience in government. At 70, he is the oldest person to be sworn in as president. He comes into office with 40 percent approval rating in national polls, the lowest for any new president in decades. Trump won the Electoral College vote. But he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by nearly three million votes. The day was filled with rich American tradition. It began with Trump and his family attending a service at St. John’s Church across the street from the White House. Then Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden greeted their successors at the White House, where they had tea with their spouses. It was reported that Obama left a private letter for his successor, just like George W. Bush had done for him. Then, together, the out-going and in-coming presidents rode in the same vehicle up to Capitol Hill for the ceremony. After the swearing-in, Trump said goodbye to the Obamas as they boarded a helicopter to begin a trip to California. President Donald Trump headed back into the Capitol to sign his first official papers as president, including nominating members of his cabinet. Then it was time to sit down for a traditional lunch with Congressional leaders at Statuary Hall in the Capitol. During the ride to the White House, the president and his family stepped out to briefly greet the crowd, gathered for the inaugural parade.     The long day was expected to close with the president and his wife attending two inaugural parties.   I'm Bryan Lynn.

President Trump Moves to Change Obama Policies on First Day

On the first day of his presidency, Donald Trump began making changes to the policies of earlier presidents. A document released by the new Trump White House said the president would soon withdraw from the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement. The free trade deal was negotiated by the Obama administration. The White House website said Trump would also work to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement known as NAFTA. “If our partners refuse a renegotiation that gives American workers a fair deal, then the President will give notice of the United States’ intent to withdraw from NAFTA,” a White House statement said. Neither action was a surprise. During the presidential campaign, Trump said bad trade deals had hurt employment in America. The NAFTA agreement removed most tariffs on products traded between the U.S., Canada and Mexico. It was signed by President Bill Clinton in 1993. The Trump administration also said it is ready to cancel what it called, “harmful and unnecessary policies." Among them is the Obama administration’s plan to reduce pollutants from coal-powered electricity plants. The climate plan was designed to cut gases that cause global warming. Another is a clean water rule to protect small waterways and wetlands from development by the Environmental Protection Agency. More changes will be announced in coming days, the website said. Trump has said he wants to cancel and replace a national health care law, known as “Obamacare.” His cabinet nominees have promised other major changes during Senate confirmation hearings.  In education, for example, there are plans to give parents more choice in selecting schools for their children, including  private, religious schools. And there has been discussion of permitting more drilling, mining and logging on federal lands. “There is a great deal of reform coming to Washington,” said Sean Spicer, the chief spokesman for President Trump on Thursday. After the inauguration, Trump signed papers formally nominating the people he wants to form his Cabinet. He did so surrounded by congressional leaders from both parties at the Capitol. The nominations are now before the U.S. Senate, which must approve nominees before they can take their new jobs. Trump also signed a proclamation declaring a National Day of Patriotism and a bill that would permit retired Marine General James Mattis to run the U.S. Defense Department. Late Friday, the Senate voted to approve Mattis as Defense Secretary. In his inaugural speech, Trump said he would carry out his promise to make government focus on America’s needs ahead of any others. “From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land,” Trump said. “From this moment on, it’s going to be America first. Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families.” Trump, a Republican, won the presidential election after a very difficult campaign against Democrat Hillary Clinton. He promised to change many of the policies put forward over the last eight years by Democratic President Obama. However, in his inauguration speech, Trump, the 45th U.S. president, thanked Obama and his wife, Michelle. Trump said, “They have been magnificent” in helping him prepare to take over as president. “It couldn’t have been easy for either man to be civil to the other after the election,” said Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. “But they were and continued to be, for the most part, to their substantial credit.” Sabato said the United States “is still deeply divided, much more so than usual.”  “Yet imagine how much worse it could have been had No. 44 and No. 45 feuded day after day,” Sabato said.

Inauguration Protests Turn Violent in Washington, D.C.

  Protest groups in Washington showed their disapproval of America’s new president, Donald Trump, on Friday - Inauguration Day. Police used pepper spray and sound bombs in a clash with protesters not far from the inaugural parade path of President Trump. Police said they arrested more than 90 people for rioting. Several demonstrations took place peacefully at security checkpoints near the U.S. Capitol building. Police helped ticketed visitors enter the ceremony, which was held along the National Mall. Protesters there held signs with various messages, including, “Resist Trump - Climate Justice Now,” “Let Freedom Ring,” and “Free Palestine.” But about two kilometers from the National Mall, protesters began breaking the windows of businesses, including a Starbucks, a Bank of America and a McDonald’s. Police used pepper spray to try to stop the violence.   Some of the more than 1,000 protesters wore gas masks and linked arms. When protesters crossed police lines, officers resisted with batons, pepper spray, and sound bombs. Some protesters threw heavy objects, including bricks, toward police. Others rolled large metal waste containers toward them. Police said that the protesters damaged vehicles, destroyed property and set small fires. Before Inauguration Day, a group called DisruptJ20 coalition had promised that it would interfere with the celebrations, risking arrest if necessary. Eleanor Goldfield helped organize the DisruptJ20 protest. She said protesters wanted to show Trump and his, in her words, "misguided, misinformed or just plain dangerous" supporters that they will not be silent. Trump supporter Brett Ecker told the Associated Press that the protesters were frustrating, but they were not ruining the day for him. "They're just here to stir up trouble," Ecker said. "It upsets me a little bit that people choose to do this, but yet again, it's one of the things I love about this country."   I'm Ashley Thompson.    The Associated Press reported this story.

'A Princess of Mars,' by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Part Four

Editor's note: This is the fourth in our series of programs called “A Princess of Mars.” The story is from a series of books by Edgar Rice Burroughs.  Last week, we told how John Carter observed a fierce battle between the green Martians and a race of red, human-like creatures. He also saw the beautiful Princess Dejah Thoris being captured after the battle. A short time later, John Carter, the Princess and their friend, the green Martian woman Sola, attempt to escape rather than face death. The Princess and Sola must flee while John Carter tries to slow the green warriors who are chasing them.  John Carter continues to tell what happens in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ story, “A Princess of Mars.” JOHN CARTER: The huge green warrior Tars Tarkas came slowly toward me with his thin sword. I backed away. I did not want to fight him. I did not wish his death. He had been as kind to me as a green Martian can be. As I stood watching him, a rifle fired in the distance, then another and another. Tars Tarkas and his warriors were under attack from another tribe of green warriors.  Within seconds, a terrible battle raged. As I watched, three of the attackers fell on Tars Tarkas. He killed one and was fighting with the other two when he slipped and fell. I ran to his aid, swinging my sword. He was on his feet. Shoulder-to-shoulder, we fought against the attackers. They finally withdrew after an hour of fierce fighting. TARS TARKAS: John Carter, I think I understand the meaning of the word “friend.” You saved my life when I was about to take yours. From this day, you are no longer a captive among our people, but a leader and great warrior among us. JOHN CARTER: There was a smile on his face. Once again, he took off a metal band from his arm and gave it to me.  TARS TARKAS: I have a question for you John Carter. I understand why you took the red woman with you. But why did Sola leave her people and go with you? JOHN CARTER: She did not want to see me or the Princess harmed. She does not like the great games held by your people where captives are led to die. She knows if she is caught, she too will die in the games. She told me she hates the games because her mother died there. TARS TARKAS: What? How could she know her mother?  JOHN CARTER: She told me her mother was killed in the games because she had hidden the egg that produced her.  Her mother hid Sola among other children before she was captured. Sola said she was a kind woman, not like others of your tribe.  Tars Tarkas grew angry as I was speaking.  But I could see past his anger. I could see pain in his eyes. I immediately knew Sola’s great secret. I have a question for you, Tars Tarkas. Did you know Sola’s mother? TARS TARKAS: Yes… and if I could have, I would have prevented her death. I know this story to be true. I have always known the woman who died in those games had a child. I never knew the child. I do now. Sola is also my child. JOHN CARTER: For three days, we followed the trail left by the Princess Dejah Thoris, Sola and poor ugly Woola. At last, we could see them in the distance. Their animal could no longer be ridden. They were talking. When we came near, Woola turned to fight us. I slowly walked to him with my hand out.  Sola was standing nearby. She was armed and prepared to fight. The princess was lying next to her feet.  Sola, what is wrong with the princess? SOLA: She has been crying much these past few days, John Carter. We believed you died so we could escape. The thought of your death was very heavy on this woman…my friend Dejah Thoris. Come and tell her you are among the living. Perhaps that will stop her crying. JOHN CARTER: I walked to where the Princess Dejah Thoris was lying on the ground. She looked at me with eyes that were red from crying. Princess, you are no longer in danger. Tars Tarkas has come with me as a friend. He and his warriors will help to see you safely home.  And ... Sola! I would have you greet your father -- Tars Tarkas -- a great leader among your people. Your secret no longer means death to anyone. He already knows you are his daughter. The two of you have nothing to fear. Sola turned and looked at Tars Tarkas. She held out her hand. He took it. It was a new beginning for them. DEJAH THORIS: I know our world has never before seen anyone like you, John Carter. Can it be that all Earthmen are like you? I was alone, a stranger, hunted, threatened. Yet you would freely give your life to save me.  You come to me now with a tribe of green warriors who offer their friendship. You are no longer a captive but wear the metal of great rank among their people. No man has ever done this.  JOHN CARTER: Princess, I have done many strange things in my life, many things much smarter men would not have done. And now, before my courage fails, I would ask you, to be mine in marriage. She smiled at me for a moment and then her dark eyes flashed in the evening light. DEJAH THORIS: You have no need of your courage, John Carter, because you already knew the answer before you asked the question.  JOHN CARTER: And so Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium, a daughter of the Red Planet Mars, promised herself in marriage to John Carter, a gentleman of Virginia.  JOHN CARTER: Several days later, we reached the city of Helium. At first, the red men of Helium thought we were an attacking army. But they soon saw their Princess. We were greeted with great joy.  Tars Tarkas and his green warriors caused the greatest excitement. This huge group of green warriors entered the city as friends and allies.  I soon met Tardos Mors, the grandfather of Dejah Thoris. He tried several times to thank me for saving the life of the Princess. But tears filled his eyes and he could not speak.  JOHN CARTER: For nine years, I served in the government and fought in the armies of Helium as a Prince of the royal family. It was a happy time. The Princess Dejah Thoris and I were expecting a child.  Then, one day, a soldier returned from a long flight. When he landed he hurried to the great meeting room.  Tardos Mors met with the soldier and reported that every creature on the planet had but three days to live. He said the great machines that produced the atmosphere on the planet had stopped producing oxygen. He said no one knew why this had happened, but there was nothing that could be done.  The air grew thin within a day. Many people could do nothing but sleep.  I watched as my Princess was slowly dying. I had to try something. I could still move with great difficulty. I went to our airport and chose a fast aircraft. I flew as fast as I could to the building that produced the atmosphere of the planet. Workers were trying to enter. I tried to help. With a great effort I opened a hole. I grew very weak. I asked one of the workers if he could start the engines. He said he would try. I fell asleep on the ground. It was dark when I opened my eyes again. My clothing felt stiff and strange. I sat up. I could see light from an opening.  I walked outside. The land looked strange to me. I looked up to the sky and saw the Red Planet Mars. I was once again on Earth in the desert of Arizona. I cried out with deep emotion.  Did the worker reach the machines to renew the atmosphere? Did the air reach the people of that planet in time to save them? Was my Princess Dejah Thoris alive or did she lie cold in death?  For ten years now, I have watched the night sky, looking for an answer. I believe she and our child are waiting there for me. Something tells me that I shall soon know. Shep O’Neal was the voice of John Carter. Steve Ember was Tars Tarkas. Barbara Klein was Sola. And Gwen Outen was Princess Dejah Thoris.

President Donald Trump's Full Inaugural Address

Below is the script of President Trump's inauguration speech, as prepared for delivery:  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 to restore its promise for all of our people. Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for 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. 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 American 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 exists to serve its citizens. Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves. These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public. But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: 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, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and 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've defended other nation’s borders while refusing to defend our own; And spent 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 disappeared over the horizon. One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind. The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire 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 moment on, it’s going to be 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 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 disagreements 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. We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are 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 let anyone tell you 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 our souls, lift our sights, and heal our divisions. It is 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 enjoy 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 fill their 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, and 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. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way. Together, 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, We Will Make America Great Again. Thank you, God Bless You, And God Bless America. ________________________________________________________________ Words in The Speech:    hardship - n. pain and suffering magnificent - n. very beautiful or impressive : very great reap - v. to get (something, such as a reward) as a result of something that you have done flourish - v. to be very successful : to do very well prosper - v. to become very successful usually by making a lot of money establishment - n. the people in business, government, etc., who have power over the other people in a society crucial - adj. extremely important​ righteous - adj. morally good : following religious or moral laws carnage - n. the killing of many people enrich - v. to make (someone) rich or richer horizons - n. the line where the earth or sea seems to meet the sky ravages - n. destruction or damage misery - n. extreme suffering or unhappiness harness - v. to use (something) for a particular purpose urban - adj. of or relating to cities and the people who live in them sprawl - n. a group of things (such as buildings) that cover an area in an uneven and ugly way
