Trump appears emotional over mention of his 'beloved' parents
President Donald Trump appeared to become emotional during remarks delivered after his inauguration, reflecting on his "beloved" parents.
Following his inaugural address, Rev. Fr. Frank Mann delivered a speech in which he mentioned the "loving protection" of Trump's parents as he goes into his second presidential term.
'From their place in heaven, may they shield their son from all harm by their loving protection and give him the strength.'
"We lift our hearts in gratitude for the beloved parents of President Trump," Mann said during his speech. "Without Mary and Fred Trump, this day would never be the miracle that has just begun. From their place in heaven, may they shield their son from all harm by their loving protection and give him the strength to guide our nation along the path that will make America great again."
"Let us go forth now with these words of President Trump's emblazoned on our hearts," Mann continued. "'As long as we have pride in our beliefs, courage in our convictions, and faith in our God, then we will not fail. We will stand tall. We stand proud because we are Americans, and Americans kneel to God and God alone.' Amen."
In his own inaugural address, Trump thanked God for saving his life, crediting his second presidency to what could only be described as divine intervention.
"Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and, indeed, to take my life," Trump said. "Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear, but I felt then, and believe even more so now, that my life was saved for a reason."
"I was saved by God to make America great again," Trump added.

Trump calls Nancy Pelosi 'guilty as hell' over J6, slams 'lunatic' Liz Cheney
During a speech in Emancipation Hall on Monday, President Donald Trump called out former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, noting their roles in the January 6 riots.
Trump criticized Pelosi for denying additional security that was offered to her ahead of the protests, arguing that she and Cheney deleted crucial documentation from January 6.
'There's virtually nothing left, so that's a criminal offense. If that were a civil case, it would be a criminal offense if that happened civilly.'
"I offered 10,000 soldiers," Trump said.
Trump also noted that Pelosi accepted "responsibility" for some of the security breaches that day. "She knows it. She admitted it on the tape that her daughter made," he said.
"In other words, J6 wouldn't be J6," Trump continued. "There would be no J6, but she rebuffed them. She didn't like it. No, she didn't like it. Maybe she wanted that to happen, but she's guilty as hell. And now we would have to go through the process because they destroyed all the evidence."
"They deleted everything," Trump continued. "There's virtually nothing left, so that's a criminal offense. If that were a civil case, it would be a criminal offense if that happened civilly."
Trump also took aim at Cheney, who was embraced by former Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign in 2024. Cheney's father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, notably spearheaded the conflict in the Middle East during the George W. Bush administration, which Trump and other more isolationist Republicans have criticized.
"Why are we helping Liz Cheney?" Trump quipped. "I mean, Liz Cheney is a disaster. She's a crying lunatic and crying, crying."
"One day when you don't want to kill people in wars, they turn against you," Trump added. "Liz Cheney hated the concept of not going to war with everybody. 'Let's kill everybody. Let's spend a lot of money on military equipment.' You know, where her father works, right?"

Trump reaffirms 'there are only two genders,' pledges to end DEI in federal government
During his landmark inaugural speech, President Donald Trump vowed to put a stop to progressive social movements that Americans have long rejected.
For the last four years, many Americans have endured the onslaught of social policies spearheaded by the Biden administration, ranging from diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in the federal government to the insistence that there are multiple genders.
Just hours after his inauguration, Trump is set to sign at least 200 executive orders, many of which address the woke ideologies that have permeated our government and our society.
Time and time again, Americans have repudiated the overarching woke ideologies peddled by the Democratic Party, and it showed at the ballot box on November 5.
"This week, I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life," Trump said on Monday. "We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based."
"As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female," Trump added.
Trump also called out the COVID-era policies that barred Americans from service or employment based on whether they were vaccinated. Many Americans faced severe consequences if they didn't comply, but Trump promised to undo the damage done by the COVID policies.
"This week, I will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate with full backpay," Trump said. "I will sign an order to stop our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and social experiments while on duty. It's going to end."
Trump has committed to enforcing many of these policies through executive order. Just hours after his inauguration, Trump is set to sign at least 200 executive orders, many of which address the woke ideologies that have permeated our government and our society.

"Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and, indeed, to take my life," Trump said during the speech. "Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear, but I felt then, and believe even more so now, that my life was saved for a reason."
"I was saved by God to make America great again," Trump said.
Trump also vowed to once again put America first and restore confidence in the institutions many have lost faith in.
"During every day of the Trump administration, I will very simply put America first," Trump said in the opening of his speech. "Our sovereignty will be reclaimed. Our safety will be restored. The scales of justice will be rebalanced, and vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end."
Trump also spoke of this new political era as a "revolution of common sense," which he aims to accomplish through a series of historic executive orders. Trump may sign over 200 executive orders, ranging from border security to ending birthright citizenship and abolishing DEI programs in the federal government.
"We stand on the verge of the four greatest years in American history," Trump said. "With your help, we will restore American promise, and we will rebuild the nation that we love, and we love it so much."
"We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God," Trump added. "So to every parent who dreams for their child and every child who dreams for their future, I am with you. I will fight for you. And I will win for you."
