LIVE – Inauguration of Donald Trump: the new president of the United States takes office this Monday and already promises to stop the “border invasion”

He promised to act “at unprecedented speed and force” to end the “decline” of America: Donald Trump will be inaugurated as President of the United States this Monday, January 20.

At noon sharp, Washington time (6 p.m. in France), the 45th president of the world’s leading power (2017-2021) will begin his second term, succeeding Democrat Joe Biden. He will also become, at 78, the oldest American head of state ever inaugurated.

With one hand placed on a Bible inherited from his mother, he will swear to “protect the Constitution” under the dome of the Capitol, the same place where on January 6, 2021, his supporters tried to prevent Congress from certifying the victory of the outgoing Democratic president.

The ceremony usually takes place outside, but the protocol was disrupted due to a cold snap.

Neither the criminal proceedings – one of which earned him a historic conviction – nor the incredible violence of his campaign rhetoric put off voters. Donald Trump won clearly on November 5 against Democratic Vice-President Kamala Harris.
