President-elect Donald Trump has now been sworn in as the 47th US president.

Now officially the 47th president, Donald Trump is delivering his inaugural address.

He is expected to call for a “revolution of common sense” when he addresses the nation for the first time since being sworn in for his second term, according to an excerpt of prepared remarks.

Aides have said Trump’s speech will be less “American carnage” like 2017, but will reflect how differently he is viewing the presidency and his power this time around.

Donald Trump said he is returning as the 47th president “confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success.” (CNN)
