Trump Inaugurated: First Convicted Felon as US President
Donald Trump’s inauguration marked a historic event, as he became the first president to be sworn in after facing criminal charges related to his attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath, following a Supreme Court decision granting presidents immunity from prosecution for actions deemed part of their official duties. Trump’s inaugural address focused on attacking his political opponents and emphasized themes of cultural conservatism and nationalistic expansion. This return to power came after the Supreme Court overturned his previous convictions, effectively shielding him from legal consequences.
