Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States Monday at an intimate inauguration ceremony inside the Rotunda of the Capitol.

The incoming president capped a historic comeback, embarking on an agenda that includes mass deportations, tariffs and slashing the size of the federal government.

Klee’s “Angelus Novus” is used by Benjamin, who at the time was fleeing from the gestapo, as a metaphor for the illusion behind the capitalist idea of progress. In the end, like this notion of progress, Trump’s pursuit of a “Golden Age” can only lead to disaster and ruin, to catastrophe for the U.S. and the rest of the world.
