#Donald Trump officially takes office as president.#

Donald Trump will be formally sworn in as the 47th President of the United States and return to the White House at 10:30 p.m. Beijing time on January 20. The inauguration will include a formal swearing-in ceremony, musical performances, a celebratory parade, and a series of formal balls. Musical performances and opening remarks will begin at 9:30 a.m. EST (10:30 p.m. Beijing time) on the main stage on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. Subsequently, Trump and Pence will take their oaths of office, and the President will deliver his inaugural address, outlining his goals for the next four years. Afterward, Trump will head to the President's office near the Senate to sign important documents and attend a luncheon hosted by the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. Later that evening, Trump will attend three inaugural balls—the Commander-in-Chief Ball, the Freedom Inaugural Ball, and the Stars and Stripes Ball—where he is expected to deliver remarks at each event.
