He’s taken the oath of office on the West Front of the Capitol.<\/p>\n
The combative billionaire businessman and television celebrity won election in November over Democrat Hillary Clinton, and today he’s leading a profoundly divided country \u2014 one that’s split between Americans enthralled and horrified by his victory.<\/p>\n
The unorthodox politician and the Republican-controlled Congress are already charting a newly conservative course for the nation. And they’re promising to reverse the work of the 44th president, Barack Obama.<\/p>\n

Trump vows to put America first<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump says that he will govern the country by putting America first.<\/p>\n
Trump is saying in his first speech as president that “from this day forward, a new vision will govern our hand” and that “from this day forward it’s going to be only America first.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump is pledging to eliminate President Barack Obama’s environmental regulations. That includes Obama’s plan to address climate change.<\/p>\n
As Trump was giving his inaugural address, the White House website listed several actions Trump will take to cancel “harmful and unnecessary policies.” Among them are Obama’s climate action plan and a clean water rule imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency.<\/p>\n
The climate plan is intended as a broad-based strategy to cut greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. The plan includes a series of rules that limit carbon pollution from coal-fired power plants.<\/p>\n
The water rule is intended to protect smaller streams, tributaries and wetlands from development.<\/p>\n
