How does Donald Trump envision a new golden age for the USA?

“We will be a compassionate and extraordinary nation again. We will bring peace, we will dream boldly. God bless America,” concluded the new US President Donald Trump in his address last night.

Vice President JD Vance was sworn in alongside Trump.

Usually, the inauguration happens outdoors. This time it was moved to the Capitol Rotunda due to the cold weather.

At the inauguration were also former presidents and Trump’s wife, Melania Trump (born Melanija Knavs), who is originally from Sevnica, Slovenia.

For today’s occasion, a special celebration was held in her hometown.

Their son Barron Trump and his grandfather Viktor Knavs were also present. Twelve other Slovenians were invited to the inauguration.

He is also said to have pardoned the Capitol attackers.

Joe Biden won the 2020 election, but Trump insisted that he himself had won.

His disillusioned supporters stormed the Capitol building. Four people died.

The swearing-in ceremony was attended by influential and wealthy guests, including the richest man on Earth, Elon Musk, who will head the newly established Office of Government Efficiency.

Then they headed to the traditional parade and inauguration dances.
