President Donald Trump took his second oath of office Jan. 20 as the 47th president of the United States, offering an agenda heavily foreshadowed by his campaign promises.
Speaking from inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda because of the subfreezing temperatures, Trump said, "The golden age of America begins right now."
He vowed to crack down on illegal immigration, increase domestic oil drilling, impose tariffs, rescind federal electric vehicle goals, declare that there are only two genders assigned at birth, rename Alaska's Mount Denali back to Mount McKinley and end diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
