Many newspaper front pages cited his "only America first" policy which featured heavily in his speech.

Others referred to the violence which was seen on the streets of Washington as demonstrators turned violent.

The New York Daily News was one which used the word "Inaugurage."

German paper Der Spiegel had the phrase "Die Neue Weltordnung" which means: 'The new world order."

It then featured flags of countries around the world and a picture of Vladimir Putin on pool balls, with American being queued up to hit them.

Italian paper Il Manifesto also went for 'Il nuovo mondo' or the new world.

The New Zealand Herald tweeted a photo of Donald Trump punching the air on an almost black background. It carried the headline: "Hello Mr President."
