President Trump was inaugurated for the second time on Monday.
The inauguration kicked off the day in historic fashion, with the ceremony moved indoors due to cooler temperatures. There were some notable moments throughout the day, including Trump's fiery speech shortly after being sworn in and an audio mishap that inadvertently turned into a collaborative singing event.
Here are five key moments from Trump's second inauguration.
Trump's second inaugural address was a victory for him and his supporters
"America's golden age begins now," Trump said shortly after being sworn in. "Starting today, our country will thrive and once again be respected around the world."
In his first formal speech as president, Trump said the United States will now "be the envy of every country, and we will never allow ourselves to be taken advantage of again."
The president attacked the Biden-Harris administration as the former president and vice president looked on. Trump specifically blasted the "Department of Justice and the evil, violent and unfair weaponization of our government" and said the country has been operating under a "radical and corrupt agency."
"While the pillars of our society are shattered and appear to be in complete disrepair, we now have a government that is incapable of handling even a simple domestic crisis," Trump said.

"January 20, 2025 is Liberation Day," Trump said. "I hope our most recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most important election in the history of our country."
