Donald Trump to call for 'revolution of common sense' in inaugural address

US President-elect Donald Trump is set to call for a "revolution of common sense" during his inaugural address on Monday, as reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing excerpts from his prepared remarks.

"I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country. My message to Americans today is that it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor and the vitality of history's greatest civilization," Trump is expected to say, according to the remarks shared with the publication.

Trump will take the oath of office at 12 pm EST (1700 GMT), administered by Chief Justice John Roberts, formally beginning his second term as president. The ceremony, initially planned to be held in front of the US Capitol, will instead take place inside the congressional complex due to extreme cold.



The inauguration marks one of the most extraordinary political comebacks in US history, as Donald Trump reclaims the presidency after a four-year absence.

Once sworn in, Trump plans to launch his administration with a series of executive orders addressing key issues, including energy and immigration. Sources familiar with the planning revealed that over 100 orders and directives could be issued as part of an internal "shock and awe" strategy beginning on his first day in office.
