The Week in Review: Donald Trump Takes Oath of Office


With great pomp and circumstance, the billionaire businessman and former reality television star Donald Trump is officially now the 45th president of the United States. Now it’s time for the president to govern – and some major changes are planned. Dismantling Obamacare and executive action on immigration are expected to be President Trump’s first priorities.

A number of Illinois Democrats skipped the inauguration, and nearly 70 congressional lawmakers were also no-shows.
