Donald Trump Sworn In as 47th US President: A Look at His Age and Health

Donald Trump's inauguration completes his triumphant comeback after surviving two impeachment trials, a felony conviction, two assassination attempts and an indictment for attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss.
Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, marking a significant moment in American political history. At the time of his inauguration, Trump was 78 years old, making him one of the oldest individuals to assume the presidency.
