The inauguration ceremony is scheduled for noon ET (1700 GMT) and several notables, including four living US presidents, are expected to attend it.

Trump defeated Democrats’ Kamala Harris to secure the second term as he first became the president of the United States of America in 2017 when he raised his popular slogan “Make America Great Again”.

The 78-year-old, a billionaire, property tycoon and former Hollywood star, is the fourth child of property tycoon from New York Fred Trump.

Trump was born in Queens, New York on June 14, 1946. At the age of 13 he was sent to the New York Military Academy to complete his early education.
