Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on Monday, marking a historic return to the White House four years after his initial term ended in defeat. At 78, Trump becomes the oldest president to take the oath of office, backed by Republican majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Trump’s inauguration represents a rare political comeback; he is the first president in over a century to win a second term after losing an election. Additionally, he becomes the first felon to occupy the Oval Office, a fact that has stirred widespread discussion both domestically and internationally.
In his inaugural address, President Trump promised to usher in a new “golden age” for America. He outlined an ambitious agenda that includes tightening immigration policies at the Mexican border, redefining gender legislation, and withdrawing the United States from international efforts to combat global warming.
“Today, we reclaim our nation’s destiny,” Trump declared. “We will revive our economy, secure our borders, and restore America’s standing in the world.”
Trump’s return to the presidency is expected to have significant implications for global politics and economics. His stance on international trade agreements and environmental policies could affect relations with countries across Asia, impacting markets and diplomatic ties.
