Donald Trump will take his oath as the 47th President of the United States during a ceremony on January 20, 2025. His term, however, will go down in history as the second non-consecutive one. The historical event will take place at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda in Washington, D.C. as the 60th U.S. presidential inauguration. The event will not be held outdoors because of the freezing temperatures and an expected windstorm. The last time an inauguration was officiated indoors as a result of weather happenings was in 1985 during the second term inauguration of President Ronald Reagan.
Inauguration Day Schedule
The inauguration day that will be a balance between growng tradition and adjustments:
Swearing-In Ceremony: At noon Eastern Time, Trump will take his presidential oath by Chief Justice John Roberts, as opposed to Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, sworn in by Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Inaugural Luncheon: Thereafter, the ceremony will be followed by a luncheon in National Statuary Hall with congressional leaders and invited guests.
Parade: The outdoor event will traditionally hold the parade, but will adapt due to the weather conditions, for more details, which will be confirmed closer to the event.
Likely Action Immediately After the Inauguration
President Trump assured the public that he had a vigorous agenda to fulfill as he returned to the White House, as it included immediate initiatives that are to be finalized:
Executive Orders: Trump would most likely be signing a series of executive orders on the first day to unwind most of the former administration’s policies. These would include immigration and energy production orders, as well as regulations from the federal government.
Immigrant Policies: Plans to close the U.S. border with Mexico, get rid of birthright citizenship, and organize mass deportations of people illegally staying in the country.
Economic Strategy: The idea by Trump is to impose a 25% tax on imports coming from Mexico and Canada. Also extra charges are going to be applied on Chinese products with the view to boosting domestic industries and correcting trade imbalances.

Conclusion
