The official White House website got a Donald Trump-style makeover immediately after he was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. Visitors to whitehouse.gov were treated to a patriotic video montage including footage of the president at various events. The tagline on the main page says in bold white letters, “America is Back.”  “Every single day I will be fighting for you with every breath in my body. I will not rest until we have delivered the strong, safe, and prosperous America that our children deserve and that you deserve. This will truly be the golden age of America,” the main page says under an image of President Trump. The administration section now says “After a landslide election victory in 2024, President Donald J. Trump is returning to the White House to build upon his previous successes and use his mandate to reject the extremist policies of the radical left while providing tangible quality of life improvements for the American people.”  The caption beside JD Vance’s name says, “In 2024, President Donald J. Trump extended JD the incredible honor of asking him to serve as the Vice-Presidential Nominee for the Republican Party. JD looks forward to serving with President Trump over the next four years as they work diligently to Make America Great Again.” There are also biographies on the site for First Lady Melania Trump and Second Lady Usha Vance, plus bios for Trump’s prospective cabinet members. CELEBRATE #47 WITH 47% OFF DAILYWIRE+ MEMBERSHIPS + A FREE $20 GIFT Under the “Priorities” section, there are four main items listed, including: “Make America safe again,” “Make America affordable and energy dominant again,” “Drain the swamp,” and “Bring back American values.” During his inauguration speech earlier today, President Trump also promised to usher in “the golden age” of America. “From this day forward our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world,” Trump said in part. “We will be the envy of every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer. During every single day of the Trump administration, I will very simply put America first.”

On Monday, roughly one hour after President Trump was inaugurated as President of the United States, Jose Mulino, the president of Panama, released a statement rejecting the suggestion Trump has made regarding the United States reasserting sovereignty over the Panama Canal. In his inaugural address, President Trump spoke of returning the name of the highest peak in North America, which had been renamed Mount Denali in 2016, back to Mount McKinley. It had been named in honor of William McKinley, America’s 25th president. “We will restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley, where it should be and where it belongs,” Trump stated. “President McKinley made our country very rich, through tariffs and through talent.” “He was a natural businessman and gave Teddy Roosevelt the money for many of the great things he did, including the Panama Canal, which has foolishly been given to the country of Panama after the United States — The United States — I mean, think of this — spent more money than ever spent on a project before and lost 38,000 lives in the building of the Panama Canal,” he continued. “We have been treated very badly from this foolish gift that should have never been made. And Panama’s promise to us has been broken. The purpose of our deal and the spirit of our treaty has been totally violated. American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way, shape, or form. And that includes the United States Navy. And above all, China is operating the Panama Canal, and we didn’t give it to China; we gave it to Panama. And we’re taking it back.” In an October 1976 debate with then-President Gerald Ford — who supported a treaty with Panama while Ronald Reagan, his opponent in the 1976 primaries, opposed it — Jimmy Carter promised he would not surrender “practical control of the Panama Canal Zone any time in the foreseeable future.” That didn’t last. After he was elected president, Carter sent his envoys to negotiate a treaty with Panama giving Panama control over the Canal Zone. Carter signed the Panama Canal treaty in September 1977, the Senate ratified the Panama Canal treaty in April 1978. Carter signed the implementation legislation into law in September 1979. “On behalf of the Republic of Panama and its people, I must reject in its entirety the words expressed by President Donald Trump regarding Panama and its Canal in his inaugural address,” Mulino stated on X (as translated by Google). “I reiterate what I expressed in my message to the Nation on December 22: the Canal is and will continue to be Panama’s and its administration will continue to be under Panamanian control with respect to its permanent neutrality. There is no presence of any nation in the world that interferes with our administration.” CELEBRATE #47 WITH 47% OFF DAILYWIRE+ MEMBERSHIPS + A FREE $20 GIFT “The Canal was not a concession from anyone,” he continued. “It was the result of generational struggles that culminated in 1999, as a result of the Torrijos-Carter treaty and, since then until now, for 25 years, without interruption, we have managed and expanded it responsibly to serve the world and its commerce, including the United States. We will exercise the right that protects us, the legal basis of the Treaty, the dignity that distinguishes us and the strength that International Law gives us as the ideal way to manage relations between countries and, above all, between allied and friendly countries, as demonstrated by history and our actions with respect to the United States. Dialogue is always the way to clarify the points mentioned without undermining our right, total sovereignty and ownership of our Canal.” pic.twitter.com/oEeBCpQnSl — José Raúl Mulino (@JoseRaulMulino) January 20, 2025

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro absolutely torched former President Joe Biden as his helicopter lifted up and finally flew away from Washington, D.C.  In a post on X from The Daily Wire’s coverage of Trump’s historic inauguration, Shapiro was joined by fellow Daily Wire hosts Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan as the panel watched and waved goodbye to Biden following his departure from Trump’s second inauguration ceremony where he once again was sworn-in as President of the United States. CELEBRATE #47 WITH 47% OFF DAILYWIRE+ MEMBERSHIPS + A FREE $20 GIFT The video started out with a two-shot of Biden’s helicopter taking off from the Capitol in one shot, and the panel of DW hosts in the other. Michael Knowles waved and said, simply, “See ya.” But it was Shapiro who had the line of the day with his farewell to Biden.  “Wow, the last time a helicopter took off from this kind of a disaster was Vietnam,” the DW host said. “The last time a helicopter took off from this kind of a disaster was Vietnam.”@benshapiro waves goodbye to former President Joe Biden as his helicopter leaves the Capitol. pic.twitter.com/Xx6bjCbWOh — Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) January 20, 2025 The video continued to show the helicopter in the distance as it flew on its way to Joint Base Andrews, where Biden made a few comments to supporters before he boarded Air Force One for the last time. DW hosts also posted images and posts on their social media accounts saying goodbye to the ex-president. CELEBRATE #47 WITH 47% OFF DAILYWIRE+ MEMBERSHIPS + A FREE $20 GIFT Knowles shared a smiling selfie from D.C. and captioned his post, “Bye, Joe!” Shapiro wrote, “Today ends the darkness of the failed Biden era. The dawn is here. #Trump2.” The Daily Wire’s co-founder Jeremy Boreing said that the “next four years are ours to seize. Seize them!” “Today America starts the messy work of retiring at last the Obama Era,” Boreing wrote. “I say messy, because this isn’t going to be some light switch flip to utopia. Politics is not clean and simple.” “Battles are won, but the war never ends,” he added. “There will be failures, compromises, and disappointments — and many new challenges we must face when today’s are overcome.  Donald Trump, like any Republican leader, will be a mixed bag.”  “But you know who wouldn’t have been a mixed bag? Kamala Harris,” Boreing continued. She was just a bag. Trump’s victory alone is a deep blow to Obama’s legacy. And his victories, while they will not be absolute or perfect, are just beginning. He comes to office clearly energized, having learned from the successes and failures (and unrelenting attacks) of the last eight years. “ Related: Carrie Underwood Performs ‘America The Beautiful’ A Cappella When Music Fails At Trump Inauguration

Former model Chrissy Teigen weighed in on the discourse currently surrounding social media following the temporary ban of TikTok. The 39-year-old cookbook author said she supports a “ban” of all social media between certain hours of the day, saying this should be instituted by the “government” or an “ethics committee.” “I personally think that one day there will be the most incredible rule,” Teigen said in a video clip uploaded to her Instagram Stories, according to People. ”I think the government, or some kind of ethics committee — somebody — should shut off social media between 6 p.m and 6 a.m. Leave it all up. Everyone gets to do anything they want, but only between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Shut it off. Done,” she added. Teigen said she believes life was better before social media took over everyone’s lives. CELEBRATE #47 WITH 47% OFF DAILYWIRE+ MEMBERSHIPS + A FREE $20 GIFT “Guys, life was great. Life was awesome before this,” she said. ”I know it’s hard to see it now. But it’s doable. It’s very doable. This doesn’t have to be our lives. And I say this for myself as well because — obviously — I’m on here [social media] right now doing this. But it doesn’t have to define us or be our whole lives,” Teigen said. The social media influencer has been involved in social media drama in the past, including deleting thousands of old tweets and apologizing for comments she made on X. “My targets didn’t deserve them. No one does. Many of them needed empathy, kindness, understanding and support, not my meanness masquerading as a kind of casual, edgy humor,” she wrote on Medium in 2021. “I was a troll, full stop. And I am so sorry.” TikTok restored service on Sunday after the popular social media app briefly went offline on Saturday in response to a new U.S. law that forces its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to be completely divested from TikTok or else be banned in the U.S., as The Daily Wire previously reported. The ban was initiated as a means of ensuring the security of private information from China. Now Trump is saying he’ll extend the deadline to give the company time to comply with the conditions that have been laid out.  “I will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the period of time before the law’s prohibitions take effect, so that we can make a deal to protect our national security,” Trump said. “The order will also confirm that there will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order.”

While delivering an enthusiastic speech after the Inauguration on Monday, Elon Musk told fellow supporters of President Donald Trump they helped assure the “future of civilization.” Musk, a tech executive who is poised to help lead the new administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), touted Trump’s 2024 election win at a Capital One Arena rally in Washington, D.C. “This is what victory feels like! Yea!” Musk exclaimed. “This was no ordinary victory. This was a fork in the road of human civilization.” “It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured,” Musk said moments later. “We’re going to have safe cities — finally! — safe cities, secure borders, sensible spending. Basic stuff. And we’re going to take DOGE to Mars!” The crowd roared in response. “I mean, can you imagine how awesome it will be to have American astronauts plant the flag on another planet for the first time?” Musk asked. CELEBRATE #47 WITH 47% OFF DAILYWIRE+ MEMBERSHIPS + A FREE $20 GIFT After simulating planting a couple of flags into the ground, he added, “Yea! How inspiring would that be?” One of the many companies that Musk runs is SpaceX, which aims to one day send people to Mars and beyond. Musk suggested last year that the first crewed flights to Mars could happen by 2028. Trump briefly talked about sending the first humans to the planet Mars as part of his inaugural address at the U.S. Capitol. “We will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the Stars and Stripes on the planet Mars,” Trump said to a round of applause. Musk attended Trump’s inauguration alongside Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, a fellow billionaire with a space company, as well as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Google CEO Sundar Pichai.

Also during his Capital One Arena speech, Musk spoke about how people need things to inspire them. And he told the audience that he would work his “a** off” for them. “I really will,” Musk declared. “I’m super fired up for the future. It’s going to be very exciting. As the president said, we’re going to have a ‘golden age.’ It’s going to be fantastic.” Trump is expected to deliver remarks at the Capital One Arena event, too, and sign a number of executive orders at a desk now bearing the presidential seal in front of the crowd of nearly 20,000 people.

President Donald Trump teased First Lady Melania Trump following his second inauguration, ribbing her about her attire — specifically her hat — and claiming that “she almost blew away.” In a video from The Daily Wire, Trump gave remarks to supporters shortly after he was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, and he commented briefly on Melania’s attire. The first lady wore a custom double-breasted navy coat with a matching boater hat. She completed the look with black leather gloves and matching dark blue suede pumps. “I shouldn’t say this. I’m going to get hell when I say this, but her [Melania’s] feet are absolutely aching. You know those heels,” Trump told the room, as the first lady lost her stoic composure and a huge grin spread across her face. “And we thought we were leaving, going home,” he added, noting that’s when it was suggested to him to go and give remarks to some more supporters. Trump said Melania then turned to him and said “Darling, I love you so much, but my feet are killing me.” CELEBRATE #47 WITH 47% OFF DAILYWIRE+ MEMBERSHIPS + A FREE $20 GIFT “And then we went out to the helicopter just prior to this and said goodbye [to former President Joe Biden and Jill Biden], which is custom, and the wind is blowing like crazy,” the President said. “And with the hat that she’s wearing, she almost blew away. We almost lost our First Lady.” “She was being elevated off the ground,” he added. “She almost blew away. No, so we all appreciate it. You’ve been a great first lady, beautiful and a great first lady. And they love our first lady.” The room then broke out into applause and cheers for Melania who smiled through Trump’s telling of the story. The first lady’s attire for the day was thanks to American designers Adam Lippes and Eric Javits, according to the official social media account for First Lady news & style reporting. The same social media account posted behind-the-scenes work on the hat. “Exclusive look at @EricJavits making the iconic hat that Melania Trump is wearing today #FashionoftheFirstLady,” the post read. A few images also showed up on X of the first lady holding on to the hat making sure it doesn’t get blown away. I really didn’t like Melania Trump’s hat. Then I was this photo and was blown away ???? pic.twitter.com/Wep0QGJ0Nw — ⛈️ in a ?Nina (@nolink29) January 20, 2025 Related: Vibe Shift: Luxury Brand Boasts About Styling Conservatives Like Usha Vance, Ivanka Trump
