In pictures: Donald Trump's inauguration
Crowds looked much smaller than those for Obama’s two inaugurations
Donald Trump took power as the 45th president of the United States on Friday and pledged to end ‘American carnage’ of social and economic woes in an inaugural address that was a populist and nationalist rallying cry.
After repeating the 35-word oath of office, Trump stretched his arms wide and hugged his wife, Melania, and other members of his family. Ceremonial cannon blasts fired. The transition from a Democratic president to a Republican took place before a crowd of former presidents, dignitaries and hundreds of thousands of people on the grounds of the National Mall. Crowds looked much smaller than those for Obama’s two inaugurations.
Here we look at a series of photographs from Trump's inauguration.
