Americans of a certain age remember success Ronald Reagan style In the eighties. Throughout his presidency, there was a real sense that America was “back.” Taxes were reduced by double digits. Americans were making more money from their investments. Inflation was falling. Homes are becoming easier to buy. America was producing the best movies and music and personal computers were coming into people's homes. We were cracking down on violent and drug crimes. Our military forces were being rebuilt, and the Soviet Union was on the defensive. Quite simply, America was thriving.

Polls conducted this fall show that 80% of Americans believe we are deeply divided on key issues. But in this moment of President Trump's second inauguration, our country has a bright, new opportunity to come together and come back strong again. If President Trump succeeds, we will all succeed together.

It's no secret that the last four years have been unnecessarily difficult for the American people. Joe Biden's open border policies have plundered our cities and bankrupted our state budgets. Fentanyl has flowed into our schools And the living and poisoning our children. High inflation for forty years has made Americans poorer and produced interest rates that have put home ownership out of reach for young people. Over-regulation has stifled our industries. Almost every policy decision made by the Biden White House has put America in last place.

Common sense will be a major theme of Trump's presidency. We all want a world where parents — not school bureaucrats — take charge of their children, where sports and female-only spaces are protected, and where no one is punished or shamed for disagreeing with far-left sexist madness. The American people know in their hearts what is right, and respecting that again would restore their strength, dignity, and national pride.

Because Donald Trump's policies benefit all Americans, he has succeeded in building the most broad and diverse coalition in the modern era. Bloggers like Joe Rogan and Megyn Kelly, musicians like 50 Cent and Trace Adkins, and innovators like Elon Musk And Peter Thiel, and celebrities like Danica Patrick and Russell Brand, and people from Dearborn to Miami everyone We come together under one principle: America First will help everyone – of every color, creed, and corner of our beautiful country.

Over the past two and a half centuries, Americans have enjoyed periods of extraordinary strength and prosperity. The November election mandate shows that our people are hungry for that again.
