Donald Trump Inaugurated for Second Term as 47th President of the United States
Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on January 20, 2025, marking the beginning of his second term in office. The ceremony took place in the Rotunda of the US Capitol due to projected cold weather in Washington, D.C., making it the first indoor inauguration in four decades.
Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath of office to Trump, upholding a tradition followed since the first inauguration. In his speech, Trump declared an end to American decline and the beginning of a "golden age" for the country.

We're letting a madman control the most powerful military on Earth? No thanks.

This country was founded on the principle of equality, not exclusion and discrimination.

Taking back the Panama Canal from China would be a victory for American influence and control.

This inauguration signifies a loss of hope for many Americans. We must resist him and fight for equality, progress, and a healthy planet.
