Donald Trump Sworn In As 47Th President Of The US

: Former U.S. President Donald Trump campaigns in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire

Donald Trump is currently being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. The swearing-in ceremony is taking place in the Capitol Rotunda to accommodate the cold temperatures outside.

For the oath, Trump is expected to use Abraham Lincoln’s bible, the same one Lincoln used during his own swearing-in ceremony in 1861. Additionally, Trump will also be using a personal bible, the same two that he used during his previous inauguration in 2017.
