Donald Trump is inaugurated for a second term as US president, promising a return to greatness and a reversal of the Biden administration's policies. The inauguration takes place amidst a flurry of activity and promises of sweeping changes, but also concerns about Trump's rhetoric and potential impact on the global order.
Donald Trump will be inaugurated for a historic second term as US president on Monday, promising a new “ golden age ” for America as the world prepares for a return of his unpredictable leadership. The 78-year-old's inauguration at the US Capitol will be held indoors due to freezing weather, but the first hours of this extraordinary comeback in America n politics will be a flurry of activity.
The Republican has vowed to unleash a wave of executive orders, dismantling Joe Biden’s legacy upon his return to the White House. He has also pledged to launch immediate deportations of undocumented migrants. If Trump painted a dystopian picture of “American carnage” at his first inauguration in 2017, this time around he offers a more optimistic promise of a “brand new day” for the United States. “I will act with historic speed and strength and fix every single crisis facing our country,” Trump told a massive inauguration eve rally where he also danced with the Village People band. But the billionaire populist also returned to some of the dark themes that fueled his 2016 election victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. The incoming 47th US president said he would “stop the invasion of our borders” and reverse “woke” policies, including “transgender insanity” in US schools. Trump will make history by replacing Biden as the oldest president to be sworn in. He is also only the second president in US history to return to power after being voted out, following Grover Cleveland in 1893. Ahead of the inauguration, Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will host Trump and his wife Melania for “tea and coffee” at the White House before they travel together to the Capitol. This display of civility will contrast sharply with 2021 when Trump, who incited a crowd that attacked the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn his election loss, refused to attend Biden’s inauguration. Trump’s triumphant mood has not been dampened by the fact that the swearing-in ceremony on the Capitol steps had to be moved due to predictions of the coldest inauguration day in 40 years. Instead of taking the oath in front of a large crowd on the National Mall, Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance will do so inside the Capitol’s domed Rotunda, as Ronald Reagan did in 1985. “As soon as President Trump places his hand on the Bible and swears the Oath to the United States Constitution, the Golden Age of America will begin,” spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on X. However, many Americans remain concerned by Trump’s more ominous pronouncements—the vows of retribution against his political opponents and journalists. Trump returns to the Oval Office more powerful than ever, capping a journey that saw him defy two assassination attempts and a criminal conviction to win the election. Three of the world’s richest men—tech tycoons Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos—will be alongside Trump for the inauguration. Tesla, SpaceX, and X boss Musk, who will lead a cost-cutting effort in the new administration, promised at Sunday’s rally to make America strong “for centuries.” Trump—who said during the election campaign he would only be a dictator on “day one”—has promised to sign around 100 executive orders within hours of taking office. They include declaring a national emergency on the southern US border with Mexico and overturning the Biden administration’s directives on diversity and oil drilling. For the rest of the world, Trump’s return means bracing for the unexpected. From promising sweeping tariffs to making territorial threats to Greenland and Panama and questioning US aid for Ukraine, Trump appears poised to shake up the global order once again. His victory has also emboldened right-wing politicians around the world. Italy’s far-right Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is set to attend the inauguration, even though foreign leaders are not usually invited.
