Donald Trump has been sworn in as the 47th president of the United States during his inauguration ceremony at the Capitol Rotunda in Washington on Monday. The inauguration ceremony was not held at its usual location at the National Mall due to cold weather. Former Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were in attendance along with billionaire doners Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Tim Cook.
