He promised a "Golden Age" for the U.S. and plans to sign around 200 executive orders, focusing on immigration and the U.S.-Mexico border. Notable attendees included billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos. Some lawmakers, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, chose not to attend, citing personal reasons related to Trump’s past legal issues.
