Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States (POTUS). The 78-year-old politician made a major comeback in the November presidential election, four years after Joe Biden defeated him.
The new president in less than one month in office has witnessed four deadly airliner accidents, that claimed the lives of about 100 Americans.
Trump ordered military immigration collaboration
Trump has also ordered the deployment of the military to work with the immigration and the US culture war as he resumed office for the second term.
Recall that Trump was a political outsider at his first-term inauguration in 2017. However, taking the oath of office on Monday, January 20, the US president said wealthy and powerful Americans surrounded him.
The second-term US president was flanked by the gang of Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, and Amazon chief Jeff Bezos. The billionaires were said to have gotten a prime seat alongside Trump’s cabinet members at the Capitol.
