8 powerful pics from Trump’s historic inauguration day

Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th US President on Monday, marking a historic second term.

Alongside Trump, JD Vance was sworn in as the Vice President during the ceremony.

Trump promised to bring a "golden age" to America during his second term.

The ceremony took place indoors at the US Capitol rotunda, a symbol of American democracy.

Trump, the oldest president to take office, replaced Biden. He’s also the second US president to return to power after being voted out, following Grover Cleveland in 1893.

Living former US presidents – Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama – attended Trump’s inauguration, along with their wives, except Michelle Obama.

Hillary Clinton, defeated by Trump in 2016, and Kamala Harris, whom he beat in November, were also present.

Trump’s inauguration marked a turning point in US history, promising transformative leadership for the nation.
