| The old fart's official White House picture. |
Okay, here we go.
The inauguration of Donald John Trump, Sr. and James David Vance.
The status quo returns to Washington, DC.
White men.
The 47th President of the United States and 50th Vice President of the United States are being sworn in at 12:00pm.
It will not be an outdoor rally like it has previously when Donald J. Trump was a "healthy" 70 year old. Now at age 78, he will succeed again being the oldest elected president.
Sub-freezing temperatures forecast for Monday in Washington mean Trump will take the oath of office from inside the Capitol Rotunda. Almost everyone visiting Washington won’t be able to see the ceremony in person.
It will be the first time in 40 years that the swearing-in won’t take place on the Capitol steps. Plans are underway to accommodate some attendees at the city’s pro basketball and hockey arena.
Here’s what’s known about the arrangements as organizers scramble to adapt:
The Rotunda is prepared as an alternative for each inauguration in the event of inclement weather. The swearing-in was last moved indoors in 1985, when President Ronald Reagan began his second term. Monday’s forecast calls for the lowest Inauguration Day temperatures since that day.
Former president Joe Biden, members of Congress and other dignitaries and notable guests will be able to view the ceremony from inside the Capitol. On Friday, workers were installing a small platform in the Rotunda.
The U.S. Capitol Police said outside ticketed areas at the Capitol will be closed “due to the extremely cold weather,” so even if people wanted to gather there as Trump takes the oath inside, they won’t be allowed to do so.
Monday’s forecast temperature is about the same as it was in Washington 64 years ago, when John F. Kennedy took the oath in a 22-degree chill, and after crews worked overnight clearing 8 inches of fresh snow from the parade route. Kennedy delivered his speech from the Capitol’s east steps without a topcoat, his frosty breath visible as he spoke.
A half-century earlier, William Howard Taft held his 1909 inauguration indoors after 10 inches of snow fell. That’s when the inauguration was still held on March 4, not Jan. 20.
Trump and JD Vance will inherit an economy that is stable but on the bubble.
He will continue the division and divisiveness of partisan politics.
He will have four years to accomplish the goals he failed at doing in his first term.
Trump will bring the chaotic noise once again through social media. He will tell some truthful things and a whole lot of misleading things.
He will immediately blame others for actions when he is the head of the U.S. government.
He will certainly get two or three more Supreme Court nominees.

| JD Vance, the gaslighting vice president. |
Trump will be a part of the 21st Century. The first president who is a former reality television media personality with no government experience in his first term. He is returning with some government experience but lack of understanding. The first president to lose the popular vote twice only to win it the third time. A president who may not leave office despite the constitutional amendment declaring an elected president must serve two concurrent or two non concurrent terms.
Grover Cleveland was an unpopular president when he was the 22nd President and 24th President. Trump will enter the White House once again with low job approval.
Cleveland served one term and lost in his bid for reelection. He mounted a campaign of divisiveness to win again. Cleveland was on the phony populism and scapegoating minorities. Trump succeeded in scapegoating immigrants, transgender women, Black women and economic turmoils.
One thing Trump and Cleveland had in common is the fact they were from New York.
Trump now claims residency in Florida.
JD Vance is one of the youngest vice presidents in modern history. He came from a poor home in Middletown, Ohio to become a millionaire. He wrote the bestseller Hillbilly Elegy which became a feature film. Vance became a mainstream figure on CNN and Fox. He was once critical of Trump and MAGA. He called Trump, "America's Hitler." He won the Ohio U.S. senate seat and soon became an insufferable member. He won over Ohioans with his constant gaslighting of East Palestine, fentanyl and immigration in Springfield.
Vance is married to Usha. She will be the first Indian American to be Second Lady of the United States. He will be tasked with doing ambassador roles, breaking ties in the Senate, preparing for the possibility of Trump dying in office and endless grievances.
So here's what I am going to do.
Remind the readers about gas prices.
Remind the readers about how inflation still matters.
Remind the readers about how Republicans ruin the economy every time they bring up austerity and bans on freedoms.
Remind the readers about how Republicans will abandon almost every campaign promise to pivot to a culture war.
I want Trump, Vance, Israel, Republicans, MAGA and some of the Democratic members to fail. I want celebrities who back MAGA to fail. I want to see protests and boycotts. I want revolts against Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, McDonald's, Amazon, Walmart, Kroger, Fox, Nexstar, Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney, the NFL, the Anti-Defamation League, AIPAC, AT&T, Apsen Dental, UnitedHealthcare, Goya and every entity sucking the life out of the American worker or consumer.
I want private equity firms to fail. They are the reasons why big box stores are closing, a struggling housing market and debt piled on the American taxpayer.
I want chaos. I want the U.S. to see how the policies of Trump, Joe Biden, George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan destroyed our reputation.
As far as I am concerned Bill Clinton (despite his personal life issues) and Barack Obama will be my favorite presidents. They managed to do something with endless Republican obstruction. They faced government shutdowns, endless Republican gaslighting and unfortunately paved the way for Trump to become president.
Obama should have used the left to take down Trump's racist birther conspiracies.
Obama should have took on a harsher approach to Fox, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck and Sean "Softball" Hannity.
But at least Rush Limbaugh dead still. He won't be able to relish in the return of Trump. He is dead and fucking gone. All that's left is Beck, Levin, "Softball" Hannity, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Laura Ingraham, Pat Buchanan, Steve Bannon and Ben Shapiro. May they be at peace once they are gone. Hopefully soon.
Anyway, here's the videos of Trump's inaugurations.
