transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the people.
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 nations' 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.
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.
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.
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.
