In his speech, Trump said he would immediately start overhauling the U.S. trade system to protect American workers and families through his executive orders. He mentioned that, instead of taxing U.S. citizens to benefit other countries, he planned to use tariffs and taxes on foreign nations to help enrich American citizens. He also outlined plans to set up the "External Revenue Service" to collect all tariffs, duties, and revenues from foreign sources, expecting it to bring in a lot of money for the country. Trump mentioned past presidents in his speech to show respect for the office and to highlight the continuity of American leadership. By recognizing figures like Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden, he framed himself within that tradition while also signaling that his leadership would be different. It was probably also a way to emphasize the moment as significant in the long history of the presidency and to establish a sense of unity, even if his policies differ from those of the past leaders. Trump's speech could have a big impact on future elections in the U.S. if his ideas and policies resonate with enough voters. His focus on national sovereignty, economic revival, and pushing for American exceptionalism could appeal to people who feel like the country has lost its direction. If his promises, such as bringing jobs back, reducing crime, and boosting military strength, are seen as achievable, they might rally more support from certain voter groups. Trump also mentioned Mars as a target for American astronauts during his inauguration and to plant the stars and stripes. He will also declare a southern border where all the illegal immigrants will be deported. Additionally, he declares that there are only two genders: male and female. Those are the projects that he will be focusing on. Trump’s ideas about gender and the military, especially his stance on only recognizing two genders and pushing back against "radical political theories," could stir up debates on gender equality and LGBTQ+ rights.
