In a historic event at the U.S. Capitol's Rotunda, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday at noon. The inauguration marked the beginning of his second term, signaling his return to the White House after four years.
Breaking from tradition due to projected cold weather in Washington, D.C., the ceremony was held indoors for the first time in four decades, ensuring the safety and comfort of attendees.
Chief Justice John Roberts administered the presidential oath of office, continuing the time-honored tradition of having the highest judicial authority oversee the ceremony. In his inaugural speech, President Trump declared, \"the golden age of America begins right now,\" asserting that American decline had come to an end.
