Donald Trump has taken his oath of office as the 47th president of the United States, he was sworn in by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, marking his return to the White House for a second, non-consecutive term.
The swearing-in ceremony took place indoors at the US Capitol, a departure from tradition due to extremely cold weather conditions.
Trump, in his first speech after being sworn in as president, started by thanking the crowd, Vice President JD Vance, and other politicians and justices.
“The golden age of America begins right now,” Trump said at the beginning of his second inaugural address.

“From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world. We will be the envy of every nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer during every single day of the Trump administration.”
Behind the pomp and ceremony, Trump, is kick starting his nationalist, right-wing agenda with a barrage of around 100 executive orders likely to undo some of Biden’s legacy.
Trump was the 45th and now 47th U.S. president, he is the second American president to be elected to a nonconsecutive White House term, following President Grover Cleveland who was the 22nd and 24th America president.
