Donald Trump has officially taken the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States, marking a significant moment in American political history.
The swearing-in ceremony took place at the Capitol, with thousands in attendance, including dignitaries, lawmakers, and prominent global figures.
In his oath, Trump pledged to “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States” and to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.”
The ceremony solidifies his return to the nation’s highest office, a development that has sparked intense debate and anticipation across the country.
Before Trump, JD Vance, the former U.S. Senator from Ohio (2023-2025), was sworn in as Vice President.
Known for his strong views on economic reform and technology policy, Vance brings a unique perspective to the new administration.
The inauguration was attended by a host of influential figures, including Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, and Sundar Pichai of Google.
Their presence underscored the growing intersection between politics and the tech industry, with expectations high for policy discussions around innovation, regulation, and national security.
Trump’s return to the presidency has reignited discussions about his leadership style and policy direction. While his supporters celebrate his commitment to “America First” ideals, critics remain cautious, urging vigilance as the administration begins its term.
