In his speech during the inauguration, President Donald Trump stated that "the golden age of the United States begins now" and reiterated his commitment to put the country first and protect national sovereignty. Among his most controversial proposals are measures related to immigration and foreign relations, such as declaring a national emergency at the southern border to halt the flow of migrants and reinstating the "Remain in Mexico" program. Trump also announced the deployment of military troops to reinforce security at the border and proposed renaming the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America."
In the economic realm, the president mentioned the imposition of tariffs on other countries with the intention of enriching citizens and protecting local industry. Additionally, Trump asserted that he would only legally recognize two genders: male and female, generating controversy. These measures, along with his polarizing rhetoric, have continued to divide the American political landscape.
After taking the oath, a formal farewell was held for former President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris at the Capitol. After enjoying tea at the White House, Trump headed to the Capitol for his swearing-in ceremony, during which he officially assumed the office of President of the United States. This event marks the beginning of his second term, with Trump returning to the White House after his previous term.
The day included several gala events such as the Commander in Chief's Ball, the Freedom Ball, and the Starlight Ball, where the president reaffirmed his vision for the next four years. The ceremony culminated with a presidential parade down Pennsylvania Avenue and the signing of official documents in the Oval Office, where Trump officially took on his duties as president.
