President Donald Trump has declared that America's golden age "begins right now" as he was sworn back into office on a day that featured frigid weather, tech bros, a flurry of executive orders, and a surprise move by Joe Biden.
Trump won the election in November, making him only the second president in history to win two non-consecutive terms.
He used his speech, held inside the Capitol Rotunda due to the -9 degrees Celsius temperatures outside, to paint a bleak picture of a country in disarray.
"My recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal and all these many betrayals that have taken place and give people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy and indeed their freedom," he said.
"From this moment on, America's decline is over."
After Trump and his vice-president JD Vance were sworn in, they held a lunch that was attended by tech billionaires, foreign dignitaries, and members of the president's family — but there were a few notable absentees.
