Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, marking his second term in office. This event is notable as Trump is the first convicted felon to serve as President, having been found guilty of falsifying business records. The inauguration ceremony, originally planned to be outdoors, was moved indoors due to extreme cold weather conditions. Trump's return to the presidency follows a tumultuous period that included two impeachment trials, a felony conviction, and two assassination attempts. His first day in office is expected to include signing a series of executive orders focusing on border security, immigration, and energy policies, among others.
