President Donald Trump was sworn in today (Jan. 20, 2025) as the 47th president of the United States, and is already enacting sweeping executive action on campaign priorities like immigration, and moving to undo many of his predecessor's major policies, the USA Today website reports.
The frigid Washington, D.C. weather moved Trump's swearing-- in ceremony inside the Capitol's Rotunda today, limiting the amount of attendees.
Trump's allies and his critics tell USA Today they expect ample upheaval over the coming months, with a new Republican administration arriving stocked with bomb--throwers and advisers, like Elon Musk, the world's richest man, claiming massive change is needed to save the country.
Trump has promised to target immigrants with criminal records as he launches a "mass deportation" to remove millions of people from the U.S. Over the weekend, he said today, "It will be the most aggressive, sweeping effect to restore our borders the world has ever seen."
As Democrats and progressive activists reach the acceptance phase of their political grief, there is less uniformity in confronting or cooperating with the returning Trump administration.
