Breathtaking: There’s no other word for the sheer ambition and scope of Donald Trump’s second inaugural address.

President Trump is back with all the confidence of a man delivered from death for a purpose.

Voters saved his political life and legacy, too, by reelecting him in the face of every accusation and criminal charge against him.

Trump has been given a second chance — by God and the country alike — and his address left no doubt he intends to use it to transform America.

“The future is ours, and our golden age has just begun,” he promised.

Other presidents have struck optimistic notes, but Trump also laid out an agenda bolder than anything since the New Deal.

John F. Kennedy pledged to take America to the moon — Trump says we will “plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars.”

The president backed down from nothing he vowed on the campaign trail or in the weeks since his reelection.

He described the immigration crisis in the language supporters and opponents alike have come to expect, but probably no one guessed he’d invoke 1798 legislation regarding “alien enemies” as authority for a new push against foreign gangs and criminal groups operating in our country.

And cartels ferrying drugs and human beings across our borders will now officially be designated as terrorist organizations.

Trump reiterated his belief that Panama has not lived up to its obligations to America concerning the canal, overcharging our ships for passage and giving China too much influence over the critical strategic waterway.

Yet “fire and fury” wasn’t the theme of Trump’s address — quite the contrary: “My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier,” he said.

Trump’s plans for the military include expunging “radical political theories” and “social experiments” imposed on service members, and he intends to reinstate, with back pay, anyone expelled for refusing the COVID vaccine.

“Our armed forces will be free to focus on their sole mission: defeating America’s enemies,” he announced, along with an aim of rebuilding and strengthening the military.

Yet diplomacy received equal emphasis: “We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end, and, perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.”

The speech had terrific turns of phrase reflecting the turnarounds in policy and results of Trump promises: “Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens,” he said, heralding the creation of an “External Revenue Service” to collect tariff revenue.

Can Trump achieve all this with the House of Representatives barely under Republican control? For that matter, will the GOP Senate give Trump the backing to follow through on what he sees as his popular mandate?
