Reporter with that oath, the same oath George Washington took, and only 45 men in the history of our republic have taken, the donald j. Trump years have begun. In his first speech as president , what we heard was a fiery vintage trump with a populist message. From this day forward, its going to be only america first. America first. Reporter big promises to the people who got him here. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. Reporter just feet away from former president s, his former rival and members of congress. He slammed the washington establishment. For too long, a small group in our Nations Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. He insulted basically all of the former president s who were sitting feet from him. They all showed up to give legitimacy to his presidency. And to honor the country. And then he gives a speech that basically says, these guys have left america a mess. Reporter this was trumps day and he did it his way. Kicking it off with a tweet writing, it all begins today. I will see you at 11 00 a. M. For the swearingin. The movement continues. The work begins. The first stop, a Prayer Service at st. Johns church.

You will never be ignored again. They are the folks who consider themselves the forgotten people that donald trump talked about in his speech. Theyre excited to no longer be forgotten. Reporter but the tone of the speech at times bleak, presenting a dark image of america. Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities. Rustedout factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation. This american carnage stops right here and stops right now. It was angry. It was dark. Painting a portrait of american carnage as he said. I think a lot of people that are worried, nervous, scared right now, were looking to that speech to try for a symbol of unity, to try to bring the country together. They didnt hear that today. Reporter and of course he continued the ubiquitous themes of his campaign. 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. I dont think the moment today gave donald trump an opportunity to unify the country. Because he came here to disrupt and change washington, not to unify it. Reporter trump speaking for a little over 16 minutes to a crowd of hundreds of thousands, pa paling to the estimated 1. 8 million who turned out for president obamas 2009 inauguration. We met this family from indiana. I think trump truly loves this country. And i think that that will get him through. Reporter but not all of them are trump supporters. Thanksgiving dinner must be fun. We dont talk politics. Youre cordial . Yeah. How can your country learn from you . You have to have respect for other peoples opinions. Its just an opinion.
