President Donald Trump Sworn In and Inaugurated for the second time as US 47th President

On January 20, 2025, Donald J. Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, marking his return to the White House for a second, non-consecutive term. The ceremony took place indoors in the Capitol Rotunda due to extreme cold weather conditions.

Ceremony Highlights

The inauguration featured several notable moments:

Oath of Office: President Trump took the oath administered by Chief Justice John Roberts. An unusual occurrence marked the ceremony when Trump initially did not swear on the Bibles, a first in U.S. history.

First Lady’s Presence: Melania Trump attended the ceremony, during which an awkward moment ensued as President Trump attempted a kiss that did not go as planned.

Musical Performance: Singer Carrie Underwood performed “America the Beautiful” a cappella due to technical difficulties, adding a unique touch to the event.

Dignitaries and Attendees

The ceremony was attended by a mix of political figures and celebrities:

Former Presidents: Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton were present, accompanied by their spouses. Notably, Michelle Obama did not attend, breaking a longstanding tradition.

Tech Industry Leaders: Prominent figures such as Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos were in attendance, reflecting the administration’s engagement with the tech sector.

International Guests: Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was among the distinguished guests, highlighting the global interest in the event.

Inaugural Address

President Trump’s inaugural address lasted 29 minutes and 48 seconds, making it the longest in modern history. He emphasized themes of national unity and a renewed commitment to American prosperity.

Immediate Actions

Following the ceremony, President Trump swiftly moved to implement his agenda:

Executive Orders: He signed orders to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement and to address immigration with stringent measures, including the elimination of birthright citizenship and the declaration of a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Pardons: In his final act as president, Joe Biden pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci and others, a move seen as a protective measure against potential actions by the incoming administration.

  • Celebrations and Protests

The day’s events included traditional ceremonies and celebrations:

Inaugural Luncheon: A gourmet luncheon was held, featuring a menu that paid homage to American culinary traditions.

Entertainment: Performances by artists such as the Village People, Kid Rock, and Billy Ray Cyrus were scheduled for subsequent inaugural events and balls.

Protests: Demonstrations occurred in response to President Trump’s immigration policies, reflecting the nation’s ongoing divisions.
