Donald Trump Sworn in as 47th U.S. President in Historic Second Inauguration

On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, marking his second, non-consecutive term in office. The ceremony took place inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C., a decision made due to dangerously cold temperatures and high winds.

Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath of office to President Trump, while Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh swore in Vice President J.D. Vance. The event was attended by former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, along with their spouses.

In his inaugural address, President Trump emphasized themes of national unity, economic revitalization, and a return to traditional values. He stated, "There are only two genders: male and female," underscoring his administration's stance on gender identity issues.

Following the ceremony, President Trump signed several executive actions aimed at jumpstarting his policy agenda. These actions are expected to address areas such as trade, immigration, and healthcare.
