Property mogul and multimillionaire Donald Trump has officially taken the residence in the White House. The world watched in anticipation as Trump became the 45th President of the United States. Trump's swearing-in ceremony was attended by ex-Presidents, prominent politicians and Trump's family. In a highly nationalistic inauguration speech, he warned that American wealth had been “ripped from homes and redistributed across the world” and that now was the time to put "America first". But not all shared his happy moment as thousands of people took part in anti-Trump protests in Washington DC and across America. In the capital, protesters clashed with police, set a limousine on fire and damaged property.
