Pomp and tradition are set to unfold in sub-zero temperatures as the US marks the passing of power
Donald Trump will become US president for the second time on Monday in a day of pomp and circumstance marking the peaceful transfer of power following his extraordinary political comeback. Approximately 250,000 people are expected to brave freezing weather and descend on central Washington to see Trump become the 47th US president. He will be only the second president in the country’s history to serve two non-consecutive terms, after Grover Cleveland in the late 1800s.
Trump is expected to sign about 100 executive actions after he is sworn in. He has vowed to be a “dictator on day one” and on the campaign trail, Trump made a host of promises to be carried out on his first day in office. They range from launching a mass deportation programme to imposing sweeping tariffs on imports, pardoning defendants of the January 6 2021 Capitol riots, and rolling back regulations related to energy and climate.
