Donald Trump has officially taken the oath of office as the 47th President of the United States, marking his return to the White House for a second term after losing in 2020.

The 78-year-old Republican leader was sworn in during a ceremony at the Capitol, surrounded by former presidents, including Joe Biden.

In his inaugural address, Trump wasted no time in declaring that the decline of America was over. He pledged to put Americans first, promising to restore the nation’s greatness.

“The era of America’s decline is over,” he said, vowing to take swift action to reignite hope in the country.

Trump outlined bold plans for his administration, including a series of executive actions aimed at revitalizing the American economy and strengthening national security.

“Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will impose tariffs and taxes on foreign nations to enrich our own people,” Trump declared.

On immigration, Trump made it clear that his administration would take a hard stance. He promised to deport millions of illegal immigrants, particularly those with criminal records, and halt any further illegal entries into the country.

“We will begin the process of sending millions of criminal aliens back to where they came from,” he said.

Also, he assured his supporters that the “golden age” of America had begun, with the priority being the protection and prosperity of its citizens.

“From this day forward, America will flourish,” he concluded.
