Donald J. Trump, a native of Queens now residing in Florida, officially became the 47th President of the United States at noon Monday in a ceremony in the Capitol rotunda.
President Trump's inauguration comes after four tumultuous years in which he was criminally indicted four times, including for his alleged role in inciting the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection.
Defeating former Vice President Kamala Harris last November, Trump was elected on a campaign of instituting tariffs on imported goods and cutting costs.
Due to the cold weather, the ceremony was moved inside the Capitol rather than at the traditional inauguration location on the outside steps.
