Ping to stylin19a ‘s post; PDJT could’ve gotten sworn in Saturday night, sometime today, or sometime before noon tomorrow; the 20th Amendment Section 1 only says when the current presidency ends.

I wasn’t looking at that way but you could be right. Probably a stretch but nicely done.

An air force plane (looks like an af1 type 757 - no tail number noticed) was sent for Pres. Trump.
No Presidential Seal on the plane.
They boarded using metal steps.(maybe no carpeted steps at that airport?)
They de-planed using red carpeted steps. (Can we assume that is a function of the airport
Military saluted him - He saluted back.
Is a former President supposed to get saluted ? I haven’t found anything concrete on it.
In fact, it looks like the President saluting back is a recent (Reagan?) phenomena.

more and better sauce\analysis than me of oath of office here - nicely footnoted
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S1-C8-1-1/ALDE_00013932/

“Although Article II sets forth the text of the presidential oath, it omits other details, including who shall administer the oath and when and where the oath shall be administered.”

everything else is ceremony\common practice.
