WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump took his second oath of office Jan. 20 as the 47th president of the United States, offering an agenda heavily foreshadowed by his campaign promises. Speaking from inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda because of the subfreezing temperatures, Trump said, "The golden age of America begins right now."

President Donald Trump signed a series of executive actions, revoking 78 of Joe Biden’s policies hours after returning to the White House.

His second struck, in parts, the sunnier tone that had been flagged, promising a new “golden age of America”. But much of the retributive rhetoric was still there, infused with a sense of vindication and personal mission born of his extraordinary political comeback.
