Trump Attacks Biden Administration in First Speech, Vows to ‘Annihilate’ National Challenges

Trump has attacked Biden’s administration, vowing to “annihilate” challenges, and promised to make America “greater, stronger, and more exceptional.”

In his first speech as the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump wasted no time launching an attack on the Biden administration, particularly its handling of the migrant crisis. 

Trump framed the nation’s challenges as a battle against a “radical and corrupt establishment,” vowing to “annihilate” the issues facing the country.  

Trump sharply criticised the previous administration for providing sanctuary to “dangerous criminals” who have illegally entered the country. 

He also accused the government of prioritising the defense of foreign borders with “unlimited funding,” while failing to protect the American border. 

“We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home,” Trump said, continuing his theme of national mismanagement.  

Turning to his vision for the future, Trump declared that America would soon be “greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before.” 

He expressed confidence and optimism about his return to the presidency, calling it the “start of a thrilling new era of national success.” 

In a message to the American people, Trump stated, “Sunlight is pouring over the entire world and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before.”

Trump also addressed the natural disasters that have plagued the country, including the hurricane in North Carolina and wildfires in Los Angeles. He pointed out that the fires had affected some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals, many of whom were in the Capitol Rotunda audience. “They don’t have a home any longer.” he remarked, emphasising the widespread impact of these crises.  

The president also criticised the US health and education systems. He claimed the nation’s health system fails to deliver during disasters, despite spending more on healthcare than any other country. 

In the realm of education, he argued that schools are teaching children to be “ashamed of themselves,” pledging that changes would come quickly. “All of this will change, starting today, and it will change very quickly,” he declared.  

Trump also took a moment to reflect on the assassination attempt against him, telling the audience that the nation’s “glorious destiny” would no longer be denied. Recalling the attempt on his life, he said, “Over the past eight years, I’ve been tested more than any president.” 

He acknowledged that some had tried to stop his cause, taking aim at those who attempted to take his freedom and his life.  

Trump concluded by stating that his life was saved “for a reason” – to “make America great again.” 

With that, he reaffirmed the slogan that propelled him to victory in two presidential campaigns, promising that his second term would fulfill the mission.
