Donald Trump was inaugurated today as the 47th President of the United States, marking the start of his second term in office. The ceremony took place at noon inside the U.S. Capitol due to frigid temperatures in Washington.
Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath of office, making Trump the first president in modern history to serve non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland. Vice President Mike Pence, returning for a second term, also took the oath of office.
In his inaugural address, Trump focused on themes of economic revitalization, national security, and what he described as a continued effort to “restore American greatness.” He pledged to tackle economic inequality, curb inflation, and reinvest in American infrastructure while promising strong measures to handle immigration and foreign trade policies.
Public opinion remains divided, with large crowds gathering both in support and protest of Trump’s return to the White House. Security at the Capitol was tight, with thousands of National Guard troops deployed to ensure a peaceful event.
