Donald Trump sworn in as president

Donald J. Trump has officially taken the oath of office as the nation’s 47th president, marking an extraordinary political comeback.

At 12:02 p.m. yesterday, inside the same Capitol building his supporters stormed four years ago, Trump began his second term, becoming the first former president in over a century to serve nonconsecutive terms.

His return, following in the footsteps of Grover Cleveland, signals a historic political resurrection.

Despite his recent criminal conviction, Trump has defied expectations, with supporters from both sides of the aisle now weary, while powerful figures from business, media, and tech are eager to engage with him.

Trump has already outlined aggressive plans, including executive actions on immigration, rolling back DEI initiatives, and renaming key geographic locations.

His agenda, which includes sweeping tariffs, mass deportations, and shrinking the federal government, signals another era of disruption in Washington.
