Video. Watch Trump take the oath of office in a historic political comeback

Updated:

Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday, marking an unprecedented political comeback four years after being voted out of office.

The ceremony, held indoors in the Capitol Rotunda for the first time in four decades, marked a quieter yet symbolic moment in American politics. Trump’s inauguration follows his overcoming impeachments, criminal charges, and assassination attempts. His return to power comes after the tumultuous events of 6 January 2021, and a historic effort to reshape Republican control in Washington.
