Inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th US President

Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States on January 20th, 2021. In his inaugural address, he promised a "thrilling new era" for America and spoke of a "tide of change" sweeping the country.

The ceremony was held indoors due to the extreme cold weather conditions in Washington D.C. It was the first time an inauguration ceremony had been held indoors since Ronald Reagan's second inauguration in 1985.

On his first day in office, President Trump signed over 200 executive orders, a record number for a single day. These orders covered a wide range of issues, including border security and energy.
