Proclaiming a new American “Golden Age,” Trump consolidated power hours into his new term, wielding massive executive authority in seeking to obliterate large chunks of Joe Biden’s legacy and showing he plans to learn from his first-term failures to pull off a transformational presidency.

WASHINGTON — Moments after being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump declared that his presidency would mark a new “golden age” for the country.

He told former presidents and other top officials gathered in the Capitol rotunda that “In America, the impossible is what we do best." He also said he wants to be a unifying figure amid conflicts around the world.
