Donald Trump sworn in as 47th President of the United States.

Donald Trump has been inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, marking a significant return to the White House for his second term in office.

This momentous occasion highlights his extraordinary political resurgence, as he steps back into a role he previously held from 2017 to 2021.

The swearing-in ceremony was held in the Capitol Rotunda, a decision made in light of the frigid temperatures outside that day. This historic venue provided a fitting backdrop for the momentous occasion, ensuring that the event proceeded smoothly despite the chill in the air.

In a nod to history, Trump took the oath of office using Abraham Lincoln’s Bible, a powerful symbol of leadership and unity. The oath was administered by Chief Justice John Roberts, marking a significant transition in power and setting the stage for the new administration’s agenda.

Trump said in his oath taking; “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,”

Prior to Trump’s tenure, JD Vance, who served as the Vice President of the United States, took his oath of office after representing Ohio in the Senate from 2023 to 2025. His ascension marked a significant moment in American politics, reflecting a shift in leadership dynamics and the influence of new voices in the government.

The inauguration ceremony was a star-studded affair, drawing an impressive lineup of dignitaries.

Among the attendees were some of the most powerful figures in the business world, including Elon Musk, the wealthiest individual globally, alongside tech titans like Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Jeff Bezos from Amazon, and Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, all of whom added a touch of glamour to the political event.
