On Monday at noon, inside the U.S. Capitol, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States.

Four years after being ousted from the presidency, the newly elected president will be inaugurated, symbolizing his transformation and resurgence.

"At his inauguration eve rally, Trump declared that America would come first and that a new era of strength, prosperity, dignity, and pride would begin tomorrow."

The U.S. Capitol's Rotunda will host President Biden, Vice President Harris, former Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton, as well as Republican and Democrat members of Congress, foreign dignitaries, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and other tech and business executives, along with some high-profile celebrities for Trump's inauguration. Due to an arctic blast, the event will take place indoors for the first time in four decades.

Following Trump's inaugural address, there will be a quick succession of events, including a formal farewell for Biden and Harris as they depart from the Capitol. Immediately after, Congress will witness Trump and JD Vance, the new vice president, participate in a signing ceremony, followed by an inaugural lunch and a review of the troops.

After the parade, Trump heads to the White House for an Oval Office ceremony before attending the traditional inaugural balls in the evening.

Inauguration eve: Previewing Trump's first day in office

On his first day in office, Trump is predicted to sign over 200 executive actions, as reported by Planet Chronicle Digital on Sunday.

"At his inauguration eve rally, Trump promised to act with historic speed and strength to fix every crisis facing our country. He vowed to issue executive orders that would make Americans extremely happy, many of them, very quickly. He emphasized the need to set our country on the right course."

Trump's initial policy priorities will center on the concerns he emphasized during his presidential campaign, such as border security, energy, reducing inflation, and eliminating DEI initiatives across the federal government.

On day one, Trump will put an end to the "catch and release" of illegal immigrants, pause all offshore wind leases, terminate the electric vehicle mandate, abolish the Green New Deal, withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, and take significant steps to assert presidential control over the federal bureaucracy.

Trump vowed that by tomorrow evening's sunset, the illegal border invasion would cease and all trespassers would return home.

We will put an end to the Biden administration's conflict on American energy and release our energy reserves to rapidly overcome inflation and secure the cheapest energy and electricity globally.

In stark contrast to President Biden's inauguration four years ago, Monday's inauguration was held amidst the aftermath of Trump supporters storming the U.S. Capitol in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent congressional certification of Biden's 2020 presidential election victory.

Biden's White House victory was not recognized by Trump, who declined to attend the inauguration and refused to acknowledge it.

In 2017, Trump departed from Washington with a diminished power base after the Capitol riot left many Americans, including Republicans, furious.

Four years later, Trump triumphantly returns as a victorious hero after winning the popular vote and all key battleground states during his two-year presidential campaign.

According to veteran political scientist Wayne Lesperance, President Trump will return to the U.S. on this day, marking the pinnacle of his political influence.

With Trump back in the presidency, a recent Planet Chronicle poll shows his favorable rating has increased to 50%, up from 42% when he first took office in 2017, with half of registered voters approving of his handling of the presidential transition.

Lesperance stated that Trump's actions since the 2020 election loss, such as his refusal to accept the results, support for the Jan. 6 insurrection, and legal challenges, including indictments and convictions, would have historically ended any future political ambitions.

Trump's return to the Oval Office in 2024 is a result of the unwavering commitment of his supporters and broad dissatisfaction of Americans over the direction the country had taken under Democrats, according to Lesperance, president of New England College. For Trump, Inauguration Day is a day of redemption.

Trump boasted that his White House victory and the Republicans' retention of their slim majority in the House and control of the Senate signified a "new American majority" that would propel the country to unprecedented prosperity.
