Donald Trump Becomes President!

On January 20, 2017, a super important day happened in Washington, D.C. It was the day Donald Trump officially became the President of the United States! Lots of people came to watch, maybe as many as could fit in a very, very big playground. He stood at the U.S. Capitol building, which is a very grand place, and made a special promise called an oath.

To become president, Donald Trump had to say some important words. He put his hand on two Bibles, like special books, and promised to do his best for the country. The Chief Justice, who is like the head judge, helped him say the oath. This promise is like a superhero's vow to protect everyone! It's a big responsibility.

Many people gathered to see this special event. Some came from far away! It was the 58th time a new president was sworn in. Think of it like the 58th time a school principal was chosen. There were also concerts and parties to celebrate this new beginning for the country.

Donald Trump was the oldest person to become president when he started. He was 70 years old! That's like being a grown-up for a long, long time. This day marked the start of his first term as president, and it was a day filled with tradition and excitement for many.
