Donald John Trump, in a remarkable return to power, is set to be sworn in at noon Eastern on Monday as the 47th president of the United States. He plans an immediate shock-and-awe blitz of orders and actions meant to begin dramatically changing the course of the country.
Mr. Trump began the day by attending a service at St. John’s Church in Washington, alongside Vice President-elect JD Vance and members of their families. Later, in a ceremony moved indoors because of bitterly cold weather, Mr. Trump will take the oath of office in the Rotunda of the Capitol. His restoration — four years after a mob of his supporters ransacked the same building in a failed effort to reverse an election that he lost — will culminate a political comeback unlike any in American history.
