Donald Trump Inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States

Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, marking his return to the White House for a second, non-consecutive term after previously serving as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021. The inauguration took place on January 20, 2025, following his victory in the 2024 presidential election. His return makes him only the second U.S. president after Grover Cleveland to serve two non-consecutive terms. In his inaugural address, Trump emphasized themes of national security, economic revival, border control, and “America First” policies, signaling a continuation and expansion of his earlier agenda. The ceremony drew intense national and international attention, reflecting both strong support from his base and significant opposition from critics. His second term begins amid deep political polarization, global geopolitical tensions, and debates over domestic priorities, setting the stage for a highly consequential presidency.
