"...I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly
swear...”
Donald Trump took the oath of office Friday to
become the 45th president of the United States. He vowed to transfer power
from Washington, D.C. to “the American people.”
Outgoing President Barack Obama stood nearby as
the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, John G. Roberts, Jr., administered
the oath of office to Trump.
At his side for the ceremony was his wife
Melania and his five children. Mike Pence had been sworn in as Vice-President
moments before.
It is the scene that has been repeated every
four years since 1789.
Patriotic music was played. And canons were
fired.
The Capitol building was decorated with flags.
Hundreds of thousands of people came to the Capitol grounds to see the new
president sworn in. They wore red white and blue clothing with Trump’s name on
it. Some wrapped themselves in flags. Many cheered the man they had elected to
the office....
