CBSN
Washington — President Trump delivered an inaugural address after he was sworn in for a second term Monday, promising that he'll bring the United States into a "golden age" and rescue the nation from what he claimed was a "decline" wrought by his predecessor's policies.
In his speech, the president invoked familiar themes from the campaign trail, including immigration and the economy, and repeated his attacks on the Justice Department and federal government.
"National unity is now returning to America and confidence and pride is soaring like never before," Trump said. "In everything we do, my administration will be inspired by a strong pursuit of excellence and unrelenting success. We will not forget our country, we will not forget our Constitution, and we will not forget our God."
