DONALD Trump today returns to the White House as he will be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States.
Thousands of soldiers and police have locked down Washington DC with an immense ring of steel ahead of today’s ceremony.
Billionaires, celebs and the US’s political elite will be packing out the event along with tens of thousands of Trump fans on the lawns outside the Capitol.
American Idol’s Carrie Underwood, YMCA hitmakers The Village People and country singer Lee Greenwood will be among the stars performing at events through today.
It will begin with a church service, followed by a visit to the White House, then speeches and musical performances, key meetings, and then three lavish balls.
Trump reclaims the mantle of President from Democrat rival Joe Biden – who defeated him in the 2020 election, only to then step aside due to his diminishing health.
Biden’s anointed successor Kamala Harris was then swept aside by a resurgant Trump in the 2024 election.
The 78-year-old staged one of the greatest-ever political comebacks, surging to power on the back of his MAGA movement to oust the unpopular Democrats.
The campaign saw him survive two assassination attempts and repeatedly weather legal storms, many of which Don raged were politically motivated.
