WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Jan. 20, 2025 – Martin Luther King Jr. Day – Sen. Roger Marshall, M.D., released the following statement after Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States:
“Congratulations to Donald J. Trump on being sworn in today as the 47th President of the United States. It is a new day in America filled with hope and patriotism! Together, we are going to get this country back on track again, we will secure our border, support our farmers, bring back peace through strength, bolster our economy, restore law and order, and much much more. Let’s Make America Great Again, Mr. President. Welcome back!”
According to the Los Angeles Times, Donald J. Trump took the oath of office to become the 47th president of the United States on Monday, capping a remarkable political comeback that he said would enable him “to make America greater, stronger and far more exceptional than ever before.”
The man who served as the 45th president painted a dark portrait of the challenges facing the country without his leadership and said he had overcome many obstacles — including an assassination attempt — because he had been “saved by God to make America great again.”
Trump became only the second person in the nation’s nearly 250-year history to regain the White House after losing it — following Grover Cleveland, the first Democrat to become president after the Civil War and the last to hold the post before the dawn of the 20th century.
Every living former president attended Monday’s event — Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. They were joined by world leaders including former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Argentine President Javier Milei. “The Golden Age of America begins right now,” said Trump. “From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world. We will be the envy of every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer during every single day of the Trump administration, I will very simply put America first.”
