Donald Trump full speech at Mar-a-Lago ahead of inauguration



While complaining about recent actions by President Joe Biden on Jan. 7, 2025, President-elect Donald Trump made a bold statement about the name of a body of water that’s near and dear to the hearts of so many.

Trump said he would move to try to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” saying that has a “beautiful ring to it.”

He said it while complaining that Biden was undermining his transition to power a day after the incumbent moved to ban offshore energy drilling in most federal waters.

Biden, whose term expires in two weeks, used his authority under the federal Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect offshore areas along the East and West coasts, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and portions of Alaska’s Northern Bering Sea from future oil and natural gas leasing. All told, about 625 million acres of federal waters were withdrawn from energy exploration by Biden in a move that may require an act of Congress to undo.

“I’m going to put it back on day one,” Trump told reporters at his private club in Florida. He pledged to take it to the courts “if we need to.”

Trump said Biden’s effort — part of a series of final actions in office by the Democrat’s administration — was undermining his plans for once he’s in office.

“You know, they told me that, we’re going to do everything possible to make this transition to the new administration very smooth,” Trump said. “It’s not smooth.”

But Biden’s team has extended access and courtesies to the Trump team that the Republican former president initially denied Biden after his 2020 election victory. Trump’s incoming chief of staff Susie Wiles told Axios in an interview published Monday that Biden chief of staff Jeff Zients had been “has been very helpful.”

  1. Repeal Obama‘s Smith Mundt modernization act, and instead, “modernize“ the patriot act so that the government is not allowed to spy on us without a valid constitutional warrant from a judge, signed!
    We have given up liberty for perceived security, and we have lost both!

  4. China leads the world in electricity produced by solar energy. Turned a desert into electricity production like a major dam. Yes, they use coal, but coal can be stripped of majority of pollutants. They also build nuclear plants, something we should be doing because modern nuclear plants are safer.

  6. 4 years ago I was living stressed out day in and day out. Worried about tomorrow. Seeing how crimes and other illegal activities has risen up. The company i was working for gave us last minute notice that they were shutting down. I’m a single father of 3 teenagers trying to keep a positive appearance toward my family that everything is ok. I had great fear for the safety of my love ones when they go out in public. Constant fear for their safety.
    The day President Donald Trump won, as a 42 years old father I broke into tears thanking God for him. Everything I went through 4 years ago is totally gone. MAGA IS BACK!!!
    God Bless and Protect America’s greatest President Donald Trump.
