President-elect Donald Trump is being sworn in on Monday as his inauguration ceremony is set to take rare form inside the U.S. Capitol.

Michelle Obama was the only spouse absent at the funeral service at Washington National Cathedral, where her husband and Trump were seated next to each other and chatted and laughed like old friends despite the history of political animosity between the Democratic former president and the returning Republican.

Famous faces and thousands of Americans flocked to US capital Washington DC, braving conditions that have chased the ceremony indoors, to watch Donald Trump become the 47th President

President Donald Trump’s second inauguration seemed normal, but there were concerns about U.S. democracy lingering just beneath the surface.

Looking ahead, some analysts think the stock market will keep soaring as Trump pushes for deregulation and tax cuts during his second term. For instance, while on the campaign trail, he proposed lowering the corporate tax rate to 15% for domestic manufacturers. That could boost net profit margins and send the stock market higher.

Donald Trump will make history when he is sworn into office today as the oldest President to take the oath of office.

Donald Trump will be sworn in for a second term as president Monday—with every living former president, billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, Carrie Underwood, the Village People and several foreign leaders getting invitations.

His decision to pardon supporters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is sure to enrage police, lawmakers and others whose lives were put at risk during an unprecedented episode in modern US history.

The guest list includes some of America’s most influential tech billionaires and politicians as well as some foreign leaders and celebrities who have embraced Trump.

In rambling remarks after his inaugural address, the 47th president resurfaced baseless claims of election fraud, and aimed invective at Hilary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and Joe Biden.
