Trump vows that 'we will get the job done' in first words as president
President Donald Trump vowed to "rebuild our country and restore its promise for all of our people" in his first words after being sworn in as commander-in-chief.
Trump stressed that "we are transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the people."
"This is your country," Trump said. "What truly matters is not what party controls the government, but if our government is controlled by the people." Trump additionally thanked former President Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama for their "gracious aid throughout this transition."
