WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 2025 – Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on Monday, pledging to deliver what he called the “complete restoration of America.” 

In his inaugural address, Trump vowed to "stop all government censorship," "bring back free speech to America," and reverse what he described as the failings of his predecessor’s administration.

“Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to silence its people,” Trump declared from the U.S. Capitol, framing his return to the presidency as a mandate for sweeping change.
