Mon Jan 20 10:29:16 UTC 2025: ## Trump Sworn In as 47th President in Historic Indoor Inauguration
**Washington D.C.** – Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States today in a historic indoor ceremony at the Capitol Rotunda. The location change from the traditional West Lawn was due to frigid weather conditions. Alongside him, J.D. Vance was sworn in as Vice President.
President Trump’s inauguration comes with promises of sweeping changes. He plans to utilize executive power extensively, focusing on immigration reform (including mass deportations), retribution against political opponents, and a significant shift in America’s global role. Immediately following the swearing-in, he is expected to deliver an inaugural address outlining his plans for the next four years and sign a series of executive orders impacting immigration, energy, and tariffs. This follows a similar pattern to his first inauguration in 2017, which featured a speech emphasizing “American carnage.”
Pre-inaugural events included a family gathering and a large rally at Capitol One Arena on Sunday, where President Trump addressed cheering supporters, promising rapid action to reverse what he terms American decline. Earlier Sunday, he participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. Live updates on the inauguration are ongoing.
