The inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States took place on Monday, January 20, 2025. Due to freezing temperatures and high winds, it was held inside the United States Capitol rotunda in Washington, D.C. It is the 60th U.S. presidential inauguration and the second inauguration of Trump as U.S. president, marking the commencement of his second and final non-consecutive term as U.S. president, the first term of JD Vance as the vice president, and the second ever non-consecutive re-inauguration for a U.S. president, after the second inauguration of Grover Cleveland in 1893. It is also the first presidential inauguration to take place indoors since Ronald Reagan's public inauguration in 1985. Trump's first inauguration was eight years earlier, in January 2017.

The event included a swearing-in ceremony, a signing ceremony, an inaugural luncheon, a first honors ceremony, and then a procession and parade at Capital One Arena. Inaugural balls are held at various venues before and after the inaugural ceremonies.

Context

The inauguration marked the formal culmination of the presidential transition of Donald Trump that began when he won the U.S. presidential election on November 6, 2024, and became the president-elect. Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, were formally elected by the Electoral College on December 17, 2024. The victory was certified by an electoral vote tally by a joint session of Congress on January 6, 2025.

Planning

Held on the third Monday of January, the inauguration is occurring on the same day as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which marks the second time an inauguration has occurred on the same date as the holiday following the second inauguration of Bill Clinton in 1997. On January 17, Trump announced the inauguration ceremony would be moved indoors due to cold weather, and would take place in the Capitol rotunda, a first since the public second inauguration of Ronald Reagan on January 21, 1985.

Joint Congressional Committee

In May 2024, both houses of Congress appointed a Joint Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies to oversee the construction of the platform and other temporary structures that were expected to be used for the outdoor ceremonies and celebrations.

Construction of the inaugural platform ceremonially began on September 18, 2024, with the driving of the first nail by United States Senator Amy Klobuchar using a nail made from iron ore mined and processed from the Iron Range in Minnesota.

Security and operations

In October 2024, the United States Capitol Police conducted an intelligence assessment that concluded an activist group "with a history of large-scale demonstrations involving illegal activity plans to protest the Inauguration regardless of the outcome" and that other groups protesting the Israel-Hamas war were "nearly certain to target the Inauguration" regardless of the winner in the U.S. presidential election. According to the New York Times, organizers of the 2017 Women's March were committed to recreating it under the refreshed branding "People's March". On January 18, thousands participated in the march, but the turnout fell short of the expected 50,000 attendees.

Agencies expected to be involved with planning of the ceremony include the U.S. Capitol Police, the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police, and the U.S. Park Police. Twenty-four states offered National Guard support for the electoral vote certification and inaugural ceremonies.

On January 17, approximately 8,000 National Guard soldiers were deputized as Special Deputy United States Marshals, providing them police authority within the National Capital Region.

Presidential communications

The transfer of power included the transition of official administration Twitter accounts, @POTUS and @VP. Members of the Trump administration also assumed ownership of a number of institutional accounts, including @WhiteHouse, @FLOTUS for First Lady Melania Trump, @SecondLady for Second Lady Usha Vance, @WHCOS for White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and @PressSec for White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. New executive branch websites were initialized; previous administrations' websites reside in the National Archives.

Inaugural Committee

On November 9, 2024, Trump announced the formation of the Trump Vance Inaugural Committee, Inc., a 501(c)(4) organization dedicated to planning inaugural events. The committee co-chairs are Steve Witkoff and former U.S. senator Kelly Loeffler, longtime friends and supporters of the president-elect.

Donations

The leaders of various tech companies pledged donations and services for the inauguration. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said through a spokesperson that he would be making a $1 million personal donation. Mark Zuckerberg, the head of Meta and the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, sent $1 million. It was also reported in The Wall Street Journal that Amazon's CEO, Jeff Bezos, offered to stream the ceremony on Amazon Prime Video, and this will amount to a $1 million in-kind donation. NPR quoted Margaret O'Mara, a Silicon Valley historian at the University of Washington, as saying these donations were due to some of these tech leaders having been in conflict with Trump in the past, in hopes to reduce regulatory pressure on their companies under the incoming administration.

On December 18, Uber Technologies and its CEO Dara Khosrowshahi each agreed to donate $1 million to the inauguration. This was Khosrowshahi's largest donation to a political candidate.

On December 23, the Ford Motor Company and General Motors announced that they would donate $1 million each and provide a fleet of vehicles for the inauguration.

On the morning of January 19, Trump and Vance visited the Arlington National Cemetery where they placed a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. They were joined by family members of some of the victims of the 2021 Kabul airport attack.

That evening, the Trump campaign organized a rally for supporters at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. The event featured performances by Kid Rock and Lee Greenwood, as well as speeches by Trump and Megyn Kelly.

Oaths of office

Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh administered the vice presidential oath of office to JD Vance. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the presidential oath of office to Donald Trump. Trump's wife, Melania, held two Bibles for Trump to place his left hand on while reciting the oath, in accordance with custom, but he did not do so.

Inaugural address

This section needs expansion with: more analysis with reliable secondary sources and not simply rehashing what was said. You can help by adding to itadding to it or making an edit request. (January 2025)

In his inaugural address, President Trump proclaimed a new "golden era" had begun. He decried the attempts of the Justice Department under Merrick Garland to prosecute him over the events of January 6, 2021, claiming that the agency had been weaponized by his political enemies. He announced executive actions to fight illegal immigration, including implementation of Alien and Sedition Acts, increase energy production by facilitating oil extraction, boost American manufacturing through tariffs on foreign goods, restore to their posts (with full back pay) all soldiers and federal employers who were discharged for not taking the COVID vaccine, recognize the existence of two genders only, establish a Department of Government Efficiency, and rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. He also showed interest in returning the Panama Canal under U.S. control. Trump also said that cartels will be designated as foreign terrorist organisations. He asserted that he wanted to be known as a peacemaker, and that the strength of a nation should be measured by how many wars it puts an end to or prevents altogether, rather than by those it wins. He expressed solidarity for the victims of natural disasters which had recently taken place in several states, and praised civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr., while criticizing the supposedly excessive focus political progressives put on race and gender issues. He stated that the U.S. would send astronauts to Mars under his presidency. He claimed nothing is impossible for those who put in effort, citing his own unexpected political comeback as an example.

The Washington Post described Trump's inaugural address as attempting to emphasize unity, but as his speeches usually do, it unintentionally came off as "dark". Through the course of it, Trump made numerous false and inaccurate claims. He described himself as chosen by God, and that he was "tested and challenged more than any president in our 250-year history." Trump invoked the phrase "Manifest Destiny" as he described an expansionist agenda, and criticized Democrats and other leaders. NPR said the speech gave the American public a better idea of what Trump's policies and directives would be, noted he spoke nothing of the January 6th attack nor his prior promises of political retribution, and pointed out his derision of the outgoing administration right in front of Biden and Harris.

Inaugural balls

Customarily, inaugural balls are held at various venues before and after the inaugural ceremonies. Official balls, at which the president and first lady appear, are organized by the inaugural committee, while unofficial balls are not.

Three official inaugural balls are occurred, at which performers including Nelly, Rascal Flatts, and Jason Aldean appeared. A larger number of unofficial balls have been organized.

Protests

Boycott

Several members of the Democratic Party in the 119th Congress decided to boycott the inauguration. This boycott is perceived as an initial opposition to the incoming administration.

Multiple reasons were given for the decision to boycott, including the event coinciding with Martin Luther King Jr. Day events and memories from the January 6 United States Capitol attack. As of December 14, below is a list of House Democrats who publicly stated they would not be attending the inauguration:

• Donald Beyer (D-VA)
• Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR)
• Greg Casar (D-TX)
• Sean Casten (D-IL)
• Judy Chu (D-CA)
• Steve Cohen (D-TN)
• Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
• Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ)
• Jasmine Crockett (D-TX)
• Veronica Escobar (D-TX)
• Kweisi Mfume (D-MD)
• Ilhan Omar (D-MN)
• Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
• Mark Pocan (D-WI)
• Ayanna Pressley (D-MA)
• Delia Ramirez (D-IL)
• Deborah Ross (D-NC)
• Lateefah Simon (D-CA)
• Adam Smith (D-WA)
• Ritchie Torres (D-NY)
• Sylvester Turner (D-TX)

Demonstrations and rallies

Similarly to the Women's March the day after Trump's first inauguration, on the weekend before the inauguration, "People's Marches" and "We Fight Back" rallies were held in several cities. Attendance at the Washington march was, according to the Associated Press, "far fewer than the expected 50,000 participants, already just one-tenth the size of the first march".
