From the launch of his campaign in 2015 to his defeat to Joe Biden last November, Donald Trump’s time in the White House was a roller coaster ride.
It saw him shatter norms, shun allies, bully those who opposed him and govern with laser focus on how his policies would play with his conservative political base.
Here are some of the main dates punctuating Trump’s political career:
First moves

In the end only a few hundred miles were built, paid for by the US.
27 January 2017: Mr Trump issues an executive order banning entries from seven Muslim-majority countries – Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
Amid outrage, the Supreme Court validates the text in the summer of 2018.

The president is heavily criticised when he declares there were “fine people on both sides” of the confrontation.

Mr Trump fumes at what he calls a “witch hunt.”

Mr Mueller cites numerous examples of Mr Trump obstructing the investigation.
18 December 2019: Mr Trump is impeached on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for trying to coerce Ukraine into smearing his future Democratic rival Joe Biden.
Mr Trump is acquitted in his trial in the Republican-controlled Senate on 5 February .
Coronavirus and campaigning
31 January 2020: The US announces a ban on non-American travelers entering from China to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
The ban is extended to European countries on 14 March as the country shuts itself off from the world.
2 October 2020: After testing positive for the virus, Mr Trump is admitted to a military hospital for treatment, emerging three days later with a claim that he is now “immune”.

An armed mob storms the US Capitol and five people die in the ensuing mayhem.
