Donald Trump took the presidential oath for a second time at the Capitol.

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump returned from a campaign-style rally at a Washington, D.C., arena to the White House to sign more executive orders, including a sweeping one that pardoned those convicted of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Earlier after taking the oath of office and events at the Capitol, Trump spoke to a roaring crowd at Capital One Arena, where he also signed several executive orders.
Now that he's finished signing the orders, Trump is attending several inaugural balls.

From events for the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump to excitement from eager attendees and outrage from protesters, here's a look at the most recent photos.

Trump shared plans to travel to L.A. on Friday to survey the damage of wildfires that killed at least 27 people and scorched the largest urban area of California in at least 40 years.
Trump said he's praying for the survivors of the Los Angeles wildfires and will help rebuild the city "more beautiful" than ever before.
He also mentioned plans to help North Carolina hurricane survivors get "rocking and rolling," arguing they've been "treated very badly as a state."

Elon Musk, co-director of Trump's DOGE initiative to dismantle parts of the federal government, stuttered a bit when he was invited onstage to discuss the program's plans.
"What matters going forward is to actually make significant changes, cement those changes and set the foundation for America to be strong for a century, for centuries, forever," said Musk, dressed in a black overcoat and tie that was dressier than his typical attire.
"This victory is the start, really," he said.

Trump repeated several of his campaign lines on immigration, including the unfounded claim that foreign governments are "emptying" their prisons, jails or mental institutions into the U.S.
He said the press excoriated him during the campaign for repeatedly bringing up the fictitious character Hannibal Lecter but suggested some of the immigrants living in the U.S. "are probably worse."
The crowd applauded as he teased plans for mass deportation, without going into detail.
