Trump sworn in as 47th US president, returns to White House after 4 years
Donald Trump has officially been sworn in as the 47th United States of America president, marking the republican return to the White House after serving as the 45th president of the US from 2017-2021.
Trump was sworn in on Monday in Washington, DC. JD Vance, the vice president, was sworn in by Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
In his inaugural address, the US President said, “The golden age of America starts now.”
Trump said he would end the “weaponisation” of the justice department, wowing that “the scales of justice will be rebalanced”.
“It is my hope that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country,” he said.
Trump won the US presidential election on November 6, 2024, after exceeding the magic number of 270 electoral college votes by six extra points.
Kamala Harris, former vice-president, had 219 electoral college votes in the tightly contested poll.
The president said he would sign several executive actions on his first day in office to “reshape” America.
