Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States on Monday, January 20, 2025. This inauguration marked the commencement of his second and final presidential term. The ceremony took place inside the U.S. Capitol rotunda in Washington, D.C., due to freezing temperatures and high winds. His first inauguration was also held on January 20, but in 2017. The January 20 date is the standard inauguration day every four years, unless it falls on a Sunday, in which case the public ceremony is held the following day.
