IR Exclusive: 47th President Donald J. Trump's first press release of the new administration
The Illinois Record praises President Trump's inspirational victory and is honored to publish the first Press release of the 47th administration
President Donald Trump.
What a great combination of words! The Illinois Record understands that the phrase may scare some. But to those unburdened by the lies of partisan media, fanatics, and Government, the phrase "President Donald Trump" likely feels like the first gulp of ice-cold water at the end of a hot summer day.
The only more refreshing phrases are “Thank the Lord”, "Praise the Lord" and perhaps "Former President Joe Biden."

King David warns us, "It is better to take shelter in the Lord than to trust in man" (Psalm 118:8), and the Illinois Record wholeheartedly agrees.
However, we should praise the men who act despite their animalistic self-interest and, against all odds, still succeed.
If we do not praise successful men, we will continue to inspire more selfish and failed ones.

Donald Trump once again completes the heroic cycle.
Just imagine the opposition to a presidential campaign includes the most powerful federal government in modern history, state governments, local governments, foreign governments, media, billionaires, and more
All things considered, a weak or even above-average man would have softened his position over the campaign.
Ross Perot, one of the Illinois Record's favorite politicians, understandably dropped out of his race when threats against his daughter emerged. In contrast, Donald Trump only strengthened his campaign efforts as the threats against him became more severe.

America is great when success is an achievement and not considered a character flaw.
In the Democrat’s backward view of the world, a man's value is the accumulation of his flaws.
In the leaderless Democrat worldview, it is better to be the victim of a shooting than to subdue the assailant.
The Illinois Record encourages praise of President Donald Trump for his historic triumph over adversity.
Think Batman or Ironman. Donald Trump is a Billionaire who could have continued to live a luxurious life embraced by all the Hollywood and New York liberals who now claim he is a fascist. Instead, President Trump decided to travel across the nation and spend 20 hours a day promoting ideas that so few politicians have promoted over history—ideas of faith, innovation, and peace..

Think Captain America or Superman, Donald Trump has extraordinary abilities. President Donald Trump is the best negotiator in the world. Millions, including Barack Obama, were inspired by President Trump's "Art of the Deal" long before he became a politician.

Many politicians use extraordinary abilities for foreign countries or big corporations that buy them through donations, job offers, or blackmail. Instead, President Donald Trump uses his negotiation superpowers to benefit Americans and spread peace worldwide. President Trump's cease-fire negotiation as president-elect rivals any accomplishment of former President Biden over half a century in Government.
Think Joseph, Descendant of Abraham and Viceroy of Egypt; Donald Trump's style, success, and incorruptibility got him into trouble. But, like Joseph, the Lord was with Trump, and every move against Him at every turn turned into a more positive outcome. As the attacks against President Trump continued, his poll numbers only increased.

Although liberals often painted President Trump as self-interested, The Illinois Record believes the unabridged facts about Trump paint an empathetic and humble leader.
The author of this article lives in Chicago. The three areas to vote for Trump were
The Northwest side. Trump winning the police-centric 41st ward shows that Trump represents those who ardently support American law and order.
Cook County Jail. The entire population of Cook County jails are indicted with crimes, showing that Trump is also the candidate for those with the least trust in American law and order
The religious part of West Rogers Park- where the author of this post lives on perhaps the diverse street in America (Devon Ave—West Rogers Park).
The beautiful West Rogers Park boasts over 21 synagogues, 20 mosques, and 15 churches. It is also one of the national centers for Hindu life and is peaceful.

The media will claim observant Jews and Muslims are enemies, but President Trump's election proved that to be the best candidate for both those who support Israel and those who support Palestine. Trump winning Devon Ave demonstrates that Trump is the candidate for all with more faith in G-d than government.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
01/20/25
President Trump's America First Priorities
MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN
President Trump will take bold action to secure our border and protect American communities. This includes ending Biden’s catch-and-release policies, reinstating Remain in Mexico, building the wall, ending asylum for illegal border crossers, cracking down on criminal sanctuaries, and enhancing vetting and screening of aliens.
President Trump’s deportation operation will address the record border crossings of criminal aliens under the prior administration.
The President is suspending refugee resettlement, after communities were forced to house large and unsustainable populations of migrants, straining community safety and resources.
The Armed Forces, including the National Guard, will engage in border security, which is national security, and will be deployed to the border to assist existing law enforcement personnel.
President Trump will begin the process of designating cartels, including the dangerous Tren de Aragua, as foreign terrorist organizations and use the Alien Enemies Act to remove them.
The Department of Justice will seek the death penalty as the appropriate punishment for heinous crimes against humanity, including those who kill law enforcement officers and illegal migrants who maim and murder Americans.
MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AND ENERGY DOMINANT AGAIN
The President will unleash American energy by ending Biden’s policies of climate extremism, streamlining permitting, and reviewing for rescission all regulations that impose undue burdens on energy production and use, including mining and processing of non-fuel minerals.
President Trump’s energy actions empower consumer choice in vehicles, showerheads, toilets, washing machines, lightbulbs and dishwashers.
President Trump will declare an energy emergency and use all necessary resources to build critical infrastructure.
President Trump’s energy policies will end leasing to massive wind farms that degrade our natural landscapes and fail to serve American energy consumers.
President Trump will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord.
All agencies will take emergency measures to reduce the cost of living.
President Trump will announce the America First Trade Policy.
America will no longer be beholden to foreign organizations for our national tax policy, which punishes American businesses.
DRAIN THE SWAMP
The President will usher a Golden Age for America by reforming and improving the government bureaucracy to work for the American people. He will freeze bureaucrat hiring except in essential areas to end the onslaught of useless and overpaid DEI activists buried into the federal workforce. He will pause burdensome and radical regulations not yet in effect that Biden announced.
President Trump is announcing an unprecedented slate of executive orders for rescission.
President Trump is planning for improved accountability of government bureaucrats. The American people deserve the highest-quality service from people who love our country. The President will also return federal workers to work, as only 6% of employees currently work in person.
President Trump is taking swift action to end the weaponization of government against political rivals and ordering all document retention as required by law. President Trump is also ending the unconstitutional censorship by the federal government. No longer will government employees pick and require the erasure of entirely true speech.
On the President’s direction, the State Department will have an America-First foreign policy.
BRING BACK AMERICAN VALUES
The President will establish male and female as biological reality and protect women from radical gender ideology.
American landmarks will be named to appropriately honor our Nation’s history.
