Despite Trump being the 47th President - there have actually been SIXTY inaugurations.

The reason behind the misalignment of the inauguration order and president number is simple - some Presidents have served consecutive terms, meaning that they have two back-to-back inaugurations.

This means Trump, who served as president from 2017-2021, will always be known as the 45th President as well as the 47th.
