On January 20, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. The 70-year-old Republican took the oath of office on the steps of the US Capitol on Friday noon during a momentous event that has been marred by massive protests against his divisive rhetoric.
Thousands of Trump supporters traveled across the country to witness the occasion from the National Mall.
In his inaugural address, Trump vowed that he would take a decision that puts “only America first.”
President Donald Trump has declared that he wants to increase the US military budget so he can negotiate with other countries from a position of strength, but his policy of brinkmanship will bring the world closer to war say analysts.
Even before Trump took the oath of office, thousands of protesters descended on Washington with a message for him: “You’re not my president.”
He is the least popular incoming president in four decade and many predict that he will get impeached or be forced to resign. Some even predict that he won’t survive the first six months in office.
