WASHINGTON — Donald J. Trump has been inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States, calling for a “revolution of common sense” as he begins a historic non-consecutive second term.

“I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country,” Trump said in his inaugural address.

“My message to Americans today is that it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor, and the vitality of history’s greatest civilization.”

The message conveyed a more optimistic tone than Trump’s 2021 inaugural speech, which pictured America as a deteriorating nation beset by high crime and uncontrolled illegal immigration.

Though Trump repeated the familiar on a similar call for societal change in 2024, this inaugural imagined a stronger and more prosperous society that would result from his work.

“We have a government that has given unlimited funding to the defense of foreign borders, but refuses to defend American borders, or more importantly, its own people,” Trump said, also criticizing the government’s performance on education, health care, and emergency response.

“All of this will change. Starting today, and it will change very quickly. From this moment on, America’s decline is over.”

The ceremony, normally conducted outside the West Front of the Capitol, was moved to the Rotunda due to winter weather.
