We are transferring power from Washington DC to citizens: Trump
Trump, 70, was sworn in outside the US Capitol by Chief Justice John Roberts.
Speaking during his swearing-in ceremony, Trump said, "For years, Washington flourished but people suffered. The established protected itself but not the citizens. Their victories have not been your victories. Jobs and factories left."
"Today, we are transferring power from Washington DC and giving it to you, the people," he said.
Former President Barack Obama was present at the event.
"The Oath of Office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans," said the new US President.
"We have defended other nations' borders while refusing to defend our own," he said.
Trump claimed that he will fight for citizens "with every breath in my body"
"I will never, ever let you down," said he.
"Through our loyalty to our country we will rediscover our loyalty to each other," Trump pledged.
Trump promised that from this day forward it's going to be only America first.
"We will get our people off of welfare and back to work, rebuilding our country with American hands and American labour," said he.
"When America is united America is totally unstoppable," Trump claimed.
Trump took oath as the 45th president of the United States.
He won the Presidential election last year.
