Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2025, marking his return to the White House. In his inaugural address, Trump declared the start of a 'golden age' for America, promising that the country would flourish and regain respect globally. He vowed to prioritize American interests, end the 'weaponization' of the Justice Department, and tackle what he described as a 'radical and corrupt establishment.' Trump also outlined immediate actions, including declaring a national emergency at the southern border, aiming to deport 'millions and millions' of illegal immigrants, and signing executive orders to reverse many policies of the previous administration. His inauguration was attended by former presidents, tech CEOs, and foreign dignitaries, and was held indoors due to cold weather.
