President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania have danced at three inaugural balls, rounding off an historical day in which Mr Trump was officially sworn in as US President.

At the first ball they danced to the Frank Sinatra hit My Way, joined by Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Susan, as well as Trump family members.

Trump said his first day as commander-in-chief was great.

"People that weren't so nice to me were saying that we did a really good job today." He adds, "It's like God was looking down on us."

Trump asked the crowd at the second of the three inaugural balls he's attending whether he should "keep the Twitter going?"

The crowd roared in apparent approval.

Trump said his all-hours tweeting to his more than 20 million followers is "a way of bypassing dishonest media."

He spoke with first lady Melania Trump by his side. She wore an ivory off-the shoulder column gown.

At the third ball the couple danced to I Will Always Love you with members of the armed services.

Mr Trump's stiff dancing style was lampooned on social media, with one tweet comparing to him to "a dog circling around looking for somewhere to poop" and another post saying "Donald Trump dances the way I walked around the hospital after my hernia surgery".
