Trump Sworn in as President, Promises to Make America Great Again
Trump took the oath of office in front of about 800,000 people who braved chilly weather to gather for the ceremony.
Donald Trump was sworn-in as the 45th US President, capping a roller-coaster journey he began as a political outsider.
Trump set off a four-year term with the promise to adopt "America First" as his governance mantra and transfer power from Washington DC to the people.
Trump, 70, took the oath in front of about 800,000 people who braved chilly weather to gather at the National Mall in the centre of the capital to celebrate the rank political outsider, who defied all odds to defeat political heavyweight Hillary Clinton in the November polls.
Trump placed his left hand on two bibles including the historic Abraham Lincoln Bible and recited the oath of office on the steps of the Capitol to become the new US president. He was administered the oath of office by Chief Justice John Roberts.
