President Trump tells America he was “saved by God” to bring “golden age” of prosperity | BBC News
Donald Trump has been sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, beginning his second term in the White House after a decisive comeback in November’s election.
In his inauguration speech, Trump promised to restore the American dream while also warning of what he described as chaos and destruction left by the previous administration.
“The golden age of America begins right now,” he declared. “From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected.” It was a far cry from his speech eight years ago, when the Republican painted a dark picture of a wounded American industry and economy taken advantage of by foreign exploitation.
Trump said he would declare a national emergency at the southern border and deploy national troops for immigration enforcement, action he promised on the campaign trail. And he said he would sign an executive order meant to “immediately stop censorship and bring back free speech in America”.
Trump also promised dramatic action overseas. He said wanted the Panama Canal under US control, falsely claiming it is currently operated by China. Panama has sovereignty over the waterway. “We’re taking it back,” Trump said.
Trump also vowed to “pursue our manifest destiny into the stars, to plant the stars and stripes on the planet Mars”. The promise was met with a smile from tech billionaire and Trump adviser Elon Musk, who has long said he wants humans to colonise the planet.

US President Donald Trump has asked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) boss Dana White to be White House press secretary, in a social media post.
“Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Dana, please take the job!”
It’s unclear whether the president’s public job offer is genuine. The BBC has asked the White House and UFC, along with its parent company TKO Group Holdings, for comment.
The vacancy for White House press secretary has been open since mid-October, when Katie Zacharia exited after just a few days on the job.

The Democrats have won a blowout victory in the US midterm elections, winning the Senate and the House of Representatives, taking control of Congress for the rest of Donald Trump’s presidency.
In the Senate race, Republican strongholds have been toppled by the Democrats in Texas, Ohio and Kansas, which last elected a Democrat almost 100 years ago.
Trump has congratulated the Democrats on a “good job” and acknowledged that gas prices hurt Republicans during the midterm races, saying people “didn’t like it” when they had to pay more for fuel.
The midterm elections happen mid-way through every 4-year presidential election cycle, giving Americans the chance to elect members of Congress, which is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Here is how the night unfolded.
