As a Slate report states, "The new president's fiery, intensely nationalist inauguration speech was largely lauded by Fox News' commentators. [Dana] Perino called it 'muscular' and 'unifying.' Martha MacCallum found it 'very forceful,' while another commentator dubbed it 'just masterful.'"

In the speech, Trump emphasized his 'America First' approach, telling the crowd, "We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power. From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. From this moment on, it's going to be America First."

Trump added, "Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families. We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs. Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength."
