President-elect Donald Trump is set to call for a “revolution of common sense” when he delivers his inaugural address after being sworn in for his second term, according to an excerpt of 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,” Trump will say, conveying a tone of hope and ambition for the future of the nation.
However, aides have cautioned that Trump may adlib during the speech, meaning the final remarks could differ from the prepared text.

Unlike his 2017 inaugural address, which famously described the state of the nation as “American carnage,” Trump’s upcoming speech is expected to be markedly different.
Sources close to the speech have indicated that it will reflect a shift in how Trump views the presidency and his power this time around, with a focus on unifying the country.
One aide familiar with the speech described it as “unifying,” signalling a potential move away from divisive rhetoric and a call for national solidarity as Trump embarks on his second term in office.
The upcoming address marks an important moment as Trump sets the tone for the next four years of his presidency.
