Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States during his inauguration ceremony at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on Friday, pledging that America’s “forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.”

“Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities, rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation,” Trump said. “And the crime and the gangs and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.”

“This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.”
