    Donald Trump inauguration: President returns Winston Churchill bust to Oval Office before dancing My Way at inaugural ball


    Donald J Trump has capped the day of his inauguration with dancing and celebrating, hours after being sworn in as the 45th President of America with a vow to rebuild the country using "American hands".
    "American carnage stops right here and right now," he said on the steps of the Capitol after taking the Oath of Office.
    He said he would strip power away from Washington and give it "back to the people".
    "We must think big and dream even bigger," he said. "America will start winning again, winning like never before.
    "We will bring back our jobs, we will bring back our borders, we will bring back our wealth and we will bring back our dreams.
    "We will build new roads and highways and bridges and airports and tunnels and railways all across our wonderful nation."
    Barack Obama, the former president and his wife Michelle, the former first lady, watched on as they handed power to the Trumps.
    During Mr Trump's speech, the rain started falling in Washington.
    He and wife Melania had earlier had tea at the White House with the Obamas.
    Hillary and Bill Clinton were also there along with other former presidents, George W Bush and Jimmy Carter, and their first ladies. George H W Bush and his wife Barbara remain in hospital in Houston.
    It was the first time Mrs Clinton had come face-to-face with Mr Trump since her bruising election defeat to the Republican in November.
    Eager to demonstrate his readiness to take actions, Mr Trump went directly to the Oval Office Friday night, before the inaugural balls, and signed his first executive order as president - on "Obamacare."
    Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said it was an order to federal departments "minimising the economic burden" of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act.
    The new president also returned a bust of Sir Winston Churchill to the Oval Office - in a nod to the "special relationship".
