Billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump, sworn in Friday as the 45th U.S. president, said that he will invoke "a new vision" for America, one where workers abandoned by shuttered factories and diminished economic fortunes will not be forgotten. "This moment is your moment, it belongs to you," Trump told several hundred thousand people gathered on the National Mall in Washington to watch his swearing-in and inaugural address. "The people become the rulers of this nation again." As a light rain fell, the 70-year-old Trump, now the oldest-ever U.S. chief executive, said, "A new vision will govern us from this day forward. It's only going to be America first. I will never ever let you down. America will start winning, winning like never before." A short time later, as Trump was hosted by congressional leaders at a lavish luncheon, protests against him erupted in parts of downtown Washington several blocks from the inaugural parade route. Rock-throwing demonstrators clashed with police, who said more than 95 of the protesters were arrested. In echoes from his long campaign for the White House, the Republican Trump painted a picture of workers who have been left behind in the world's largest economy, buffeted by global economic changes they have been powerless to overcome. It was these voters who gave him the edge in key states, U.S. political analysts say, to hand him an unexpected win in the November election over Democrat Hillary Clinton, a former U.S. secretary of state who watched from a nearby seat at the U.S. Capitol as he became the American leader.
