President Obama I'm sure was cool with this.  That way he could have fun.  He could yuck it up and laugh with President Trump.  If Michelle had been there he would have had to mind his Ps and Qs or else get scowled at for laughing in church and then cut off when he got home.

Who cares?  Thankfully we won't have to look at her hideous face.  That mug could make a train take a detour.  Yuck!  What a mess!

What happens on Trump's Inauguration Day?

By James Oliphant

WASHINGTON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Donald Trump will be sworn in as president of the United States on Monday, ushering in his second term in office and capping one of the most astounding political comebacks in American history.

 

Inauguration Day is, by tradition, largely dedicated to pomp and circumstance. One president leaves the White House, and another moves in. But Trump, a Republican, also has pledged to sign a flurry of executive orders on subjects ranging from border security to oil and gas production on his first day in office.

 

Trump will take the oath of office, likely administered by U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, at 12 p.m. EST (1700 GMT) in front of the U.S. Capitol.

Trump will then deliver his inaugural address. In interviews, he has said he intends it to be uplifting and unifying. That would mark a departure from his first speech in 2017, which detailed a broken country he described as “American Carnage”.

 

The joint congressional committee that administers the swearing-in ceremony on the Capitol grounds says it will be releasing more than 220,000 tickets for the event.

The National Park Service, which oversees the National Mall where unticketed members of the public gather to watch the ceremony, has issued a permit to Trump’s inauguration committee for an estimated crowd of 250,000 people.

 

PARADE TO THE WHITE HOUSE

After a lunch with congressional leaders at the U.S. Capitol, Trump will proceed down Pennsylvania Avenue in a motorcade to the White House, accompanied by a procession of military regiments, school marching bands, floats and citizens’ groups. The new president and his guests will then observe the rest of the parade from a reviewing stand.

 

GETTING TO WORK

Two sources familiar with the planning said Trump is preparing a flood of executive orders and directives that could total more than a 100 for Day One and beyond.

He is expected to sign orders that give immigration officers more latitude to arrest migrants with no criminal records, send more troops to the U.S.-Mexico border and restart construction of the border wall.

 

The orders will include a drive to increase energy production and follow through on Trump's oft-stated campaign vow to "drill, baby, drill.”

Trump also is likely to issue the first wave of pardons for defendants convicted by the federal government for their participation in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

 

PARTIES AND A RALLY

There will be at least 18 inaugural galas held throughout Washington over the weekend and Monday, three of which are considered official and which Trump is expected to attend.

 

On Sunday, on the eve of the inauguration, Trump is set as well to hold a campaign-style "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" at an arena in downtown Washington.

 

WHO COVERS THE COSTS?

The official events are financed by Trump’s inauguration committee, which is chaired by longtime Trump allies Steve Witkoff, a real estate developer who is Trump's pick to be his Middle East envoy, and Kelly Loeffler, a former U.S. senator and Trump's pick to head the Small Business Administration.

The committee will be responsible for covering the costs of everything but the swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol, which is borne by taxpayers.

The five tech titans that will sit with Trump during inauguration and what their position means

by Rob Crilly

 

When Donald Trump is sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday he will be surrounded by the tech titans he believes will deliver the jobs and free speech that will define his term.

 

Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and Washington Post proprietor, Elon Musk, the world's richest man, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder, Sam Altman, the biggest name in AI, and Shou Chew, chief executive of TikTok, will all have positions of honor on the dais, according to a senior transition official. It means they have pride of place among the highest rank of VIPs, beside Trump's family and former presidents.
