Trump inauguration live updates: Highlights from Trump's inaugural speech and swearing in

Last updated: Monday, January 20, 2025 8:50PM GMT
WASHINGTON -- At noon today, Donald Trump took the presidential oath for a second time, capping a historic political comeback to the White House.
As he did on the campaign trail, Trump painted a dark picture of America and took aim at President Joe Biden's leadership as his predecessor sat just steps away.
"My recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal, and all of these many betrayals that have taken place, and to give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy, and indeed their freedom," Trump said, promising a "golden age of America."

Trump will rename Gulf of Mexico the 'Gulf of America' among 1st actions
Among the first executive orders set to be signed by President-elect Donald Trump will be an order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America."
During his January press conference at Mar-A-Lago, Trump declared he would change the name, saying it's currently run by cartels and that "it's ours."
"We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory, the Gulf of America," Trump said. "What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate. It's appropriate. And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country."
Presidents have the authority to rename geographic regions and features via executive order.
