Trump's second presidential term begins at approximately noon, January 20, 2025, aka Dr. Martin Luther King Day.
This second Trump term begins with the conclusion of the presidential oath as enumerated within the Constitution Trump shall yet once again swear to "preserve, protect and defend".
In Trump's case if in no other this is a ceremonial formality apparently not binding in law, as demonstrated by the violent insurrection of January 6, 2021.
A reprise of President Trump's first term, a reminder of what the next four years may provide:

[Trump] "summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. ... There has never been a greater betrayal by a president of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution."
