Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States on Jan. 20, succeeding Barack Obama and telling a bitterly divided country he will pursue “America First” policies at home and abroad.
As scattered protests erupted elsewhere in Washington, Trump raised his right hand and put his left on a Bible used by Abraham Lincoln and repeated a 35-word oath of office from the U.S. Constitution, with U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts presiding.
