Trump Sworn in as 47th President, Pardons Rioters

Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, marking a dramatic return to power four years after losing the presidency. In his inaugural address, Trump described his election as a mandate to reverse perceived betrayals and restore American greatness, claiming divine intervention in his comeback. He wasted no time enacting controversial policies, including pardoning nearly all 1,600 individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riots. This inauguration is seen as a significant moment for Trump's political movement, with many of his supporters viewing him as a transformative figure akin to biblical leaders. Leonard Leo, a key architect of Trump's political strategy, is poised to influence future conservative policies, targeting issues like abortion and LGBTQ+ rights. The political landscape remains deeply polarized, with ongoing debates about the implications of Trump's presidency for American democracy and society.
