WASHINGTON -- At noon today, Donald Trump took the presidential oath for a second time, capping a historic political comeback to the White House.

As he did on the campaign trail, Trump painted a dark picture of America and took aim at President Joe Biden's leadership as his predecessor sat just steps away.

"My recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal, and all of these many betrayals that have taken place, and to give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy, and indeed their freedom," Trump said, promising a "golden age of America."
