@cspanofficial: President Trump said he wants his legacy to be that of a “peacemaker and unifier” as he spoke about American exceptionalism in his inaugural address Monday. “Above all, my message to Americans today is that it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor and the vitality of history’s greatest civilization. So, as we liberate our nation, we will lead it to new heights of victory and success. We will not be deterred,” he said in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. The president said he will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” return the name of Alaska’s Denali mountain to “Mount McKinley,” and retake the Panama Canal. “We will pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, launching American astronauts to plant the Stars and Stripes on the planet Mars,” he said.
