President Donald Trump officially kicked off his second term on Monday, joined by long-time friends in the real estate industry, allies and family members.
The 47th president, who is only the second to serve two non-consecutive terms and the first felon to take office, touted his return to the White House in typical fashion with sweeping remarks.
“The golden age of America begins right now,” Trump said in a speech after he was sworn in, where he doubled down on efforts to end diversity, equity and inclusion policies in federal government, and said he would make it the official position there are “only two genders, male and female.”
