Donald Trump has been sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, beginning his second term in the White House after a decisive comeback in November's election.

In his 29-minute inauguration speech, Trump promised to restore the American dream while also warning of what he described as chaos and destruction left by the previous administration.

In case you missed it, here is a look at the highlights.

Trump opened with optimism.

"The golden age of America begins right now," he declared. "From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected."

It was a far cry from his speech eight years ago, when the Republican painted a dark picture of a wounded American industry and economy taken advantage of by foreign exploitation.

But as Monday's address progressed, Trump's tone turned.

The president offered a grim assessment of today's America, describing a "radical and corrupt establishment" that "cannot manage even a simple crisis at home", an apparent nod to the wildfires that have been ravaging Los Angeles.

"We will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer," Trump said.

Presidents tend to use their inaugural addresses as a chance to call for unity, making broad and lofty pledges and steering away from detailed policy.

Not Donald Trump.

The Republican got right down to specifics, running through a laundry list of policy promises and actions he would take in the first 100 days.

Trump said he would declare a national emergency at the southern border (something he did in 2019) and deploy national troops for immigration........
