 Donald Trump has been inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, marking his return to the White House after previously serving as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021. He secured his second term by defeating Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. At 78, Trump is the oldest individual to assume the U.S. presidency. His running mate, JD Vance, has been sworn in as the 50th Vice President, making him the highest-ranking millennial in U.S. government.

In his inaugural address, President Trump emphasized a return to his previous policies, focusing on deregulation and economic growth. He has already initiated significant changes, including imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico, although these were later postponed. Controversial decisions have been made, such as barring transgender individuals from military service and cutting numerous U.S. foreign aid programs. The administration is also planning extensive deportation programs and has begun restructuring federal agencies, with Elon Musk playing a key role in these efforts.

A notable moment from the inauguration was an awkward exchange between President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. As he leaned in to kiss her on the cheek before taking the oath of office, her wide-brimmed hat obstructed the gesture, leading to a brief, humorous interaction that quickly went viral.

President Trump's return to office has been met with mixed reactions domestically and internationally. Supporters praise his decisive actions and commitment to his campaign promises, while critics express concern over the potential implications of his policies on both national and global scales.
