…for bringing joy

…for reviving patriotism

…for renewing our belief in ourselves and our country

…for reminding us that we CAN work together toward a common goal.

As you take the oath of office this morning, my faith in our democracy, our country, and my fellow citizens has been affirmed and renewed.

This is a day to remember always, especially in the days ahead, which will not be easy and won’t have instant cures. Yet, the fact of your election confirms that we can find a way out of the current difficulties and begin to find our way back to the road that leads to peace and prosperity.

We can, we did, we will.
