Trump Pardons 1,500 Capitol Rioters on Inauguration Day.

Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on January 21, 2025, marking the start of his second presidential term. Thousands of supporters gathered at a stadium in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the occasion, where Trump delivered a fiery inaugural address. He vowed to usher in a “golden age” for America, positioning himself as both a peacemaker and unifier, despite a divisive past four years in office.

One of the first significant actions of his second term came swiftly after the ceremony, as Trump signed several executive orders. Among these was his decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accords, a move that had been a hallmark of his first term. Trump reiterated his commitment to American sovereignty and economic growth, declaring his administration would prioritize national interests over global agreements.

Back in the Oval Office, Trump declared a “national emergency” at the U.S.-Mexico border, a measure that he had previously pushed for during his first term. The emergency declaration is expected to fuel ongoing debates over immigration and border security.

In a bold and controversial move, Trump also announced plans to pardon up to 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. This decision is likely to draw significant criticism, as many of those involved in the attack on the U.S. Capitol are still facing legal challenges. However, Trump framed the pardons as part of his effort to heal the nation and unite Americans after a tumultuous period in American politics.

Minutes before Trump took the oath of office, outgoing President Joe Biden issued pardons for members of his family, a customary act by a departing president. The transition marked a new chapter in U.S. politics, with key figures from both the tech industry and government, including cabinet nominees and former presidents, present at the swearing-in ceremony in the U.S. Capitol’s rotunda.

In his inaugural address, Trump highlighted his vision for the future, declaring, “The golden age of America begins right now.” Despite the fiery tone of his speech, he promised to lead the country toward greater unity, even as his critics remain skeptical of his ability to bridge deep political divides. The coming days and months will likely see intense debate over his early decisions, particularly concerning climate policy, immigration, and the controversial pardons for Capitol rioters.
