President Trump is sworn in as the 47th president of the United States
Donald Trump was officially sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.

He swore an oath to "preserve and defend" the Constitution.

It is the first time since the 1890s that a president who was defeated in the election returns victorious to take the oath for a second time.

Trump takes the oath with his left hand on a Bible held by his wife, Melania, and his right hand raised.

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, to the best of my ability, so help me God," he said.
