Watch: US President Donald Trump sworn in for second term

Donald Trump pronounced the start of a “golden age” in the United States after taking the oath for a historic second term as president yesterday. He used his inaugural speech to lash out at what he described as a “broken” society that he would rescue. “The golden age of America begins right now.

From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again worldwide,” Trump said in the US Capitol, where his inauguration was held indoors due to chilly weather. While promising renewal, Trump’s tone was characteristically dark, denouncing what he said had been a “betrayal” of Americans by a “radical and corrupt establishment.”
