Washington, D.C.—Donald J. Trump was officially sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on Monday, overcoming a series of political and personal challenges, including impeachments, criminal indictments, and two assassination attempts during his bid for re-election.
The inauguration ceremony, typically held outdoors, was moved to the Capitol Rotunda due to unseasonably cold weather, marking the first indoor swearing-in in over 40 years.
“A Golden Age for America”
In his inaugural address to supporters, Trump struck a tone of optimism and determination, promising to usher in what he called a “golden age” for the nation.
“The golden age of America begins right now. From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world,” Trump declared to loud applause.
Immediate Action on Key Policies
The newly sworn-in president wasted no time outlining his ambitious plans for the country. Trump pledged to sign a series of executive orders immediately, aimed at addressing key issues central to his campaign. These include:
- A mass deportation program targeting undocumented immigrants.
- Ending birthright citizenship, a controversial move that has sparked debate nationwide.
- Increasing domestic oil production, with plans to ramp up drilling activities.
- Implementing tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China to boost American manufacturing and reduce trade deficits.
A Historic Return to Power
Trump’s return to the White House is nothing short of historic. After losing the presidency in 2020, his political comeback included surviving multiple legal battles and maintaining a strong base of loyal supporters.
As Trump embarks on his second term, his administration is expected to face significant scrutiny, both domestically and internationally, as it pushes forward with its bold agenda.
For his supporters, however, this moment symbolizes resilience and the fulfillment of a long-awaited promise to “Make America Great Again.”
