Donald Trump says he will be a peacemaker and unifier as he was sworn in for a historic second term as 47th president of the United States of America.
He also reminded the people that God spared his life to make America great again.
He promised to ensure that people are seen according to their relevance above colour.
Trump says he will sign an executive order to stop illegal immigrants.
He said the “golden age of America begins now. I will put America first. Our sovereignty will be reclaimed. The scale of justice will be rebalanced.
“America will be free, prosperous and free, greater and stronger far more exceptional than before.”
With one hand raised in the air and the other on a Bible given to him by his mother, the 47th US president solemnly took the oath of office beneath the huge Rotunda of the US Capitol.
Republican Trump and outgoing Democratic President Joe Biden had earlier traveled by motorcade together to the Capitol, where the ceremony was being held indoors — and with a much smaller crowd — for the first time in decades due to frigid weather.
They and their spouses met for a traditional tea at the White House.
“Welcome home,” Biden said to Trump as he and First Lady Jill Biden greeted their successors at the front door to the presidential residence.
Trump, 78, was a political outsider at his first inauguration in 2017 as the 45th president, but this time around he is surrounded by America’s wealthy and powerful.
The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon chief Jeff Bezos and Google CEO Sundar Pichai all had prime seats in the Capitol alongside Trump’s family and cabinet members.
Meanwhile, Trump says God saved him from an assassin’s bullet to “make America great again.”
According to him, “Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin’s bullet ripped through my ear.
“But I felt then and believe, even more so now that my life was saved for a reason.
“I was saved by God to make America great again,” he said during his inaugural address.
Trump was shot on July 13 near Butler, in the state of Pennsylvania.
Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to climb to an elevated position with an assault rifle and fire a number of shots at Trump at the rally, with a bullet grazing the former U.S. president’s right ear.
