January 20th cannot come fast enough! Everybody, even those that initially opposed a Victory by President Donald J. Trump and the Trump Administration, just want it to happen. It is my obligation to protect the People of our Country but, before we even begin, we have to think of the Inauguration itself. The weather forecast for Washington, D.C., with the windchill factor, could take temperatures into severe record lows. There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country. I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way. It is dangerous conditions for the tens of thousands of Law Enforcement, First Responders, Police K9s and even horses, and hundreds of thousands of supporters that will be outside for many hours on the 20th (In any event, if you decide to come, dress warmly!).
Therefore, I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda, as was used by Ronald Reagan in 1985, also because of very cold weather. The various Dignitaries and Guests will be brought into the Capitol. This will be a very beautiful experience for all, and especially for the large TV audience!
We will open Capital One Arena on Monday for LIVE viewing of this Historic event, and to host the Presidential Parade. I will join the crowd at Capital One, after my Swearing In.
All other events will remain the same, including the Victory Rally at Capital One Arena, on Sunday at 3 P.M. (Doors open at 1 P.M.—Please arrive early!), and all three Inaugural Balls on Monday evening.
Everyone will be safe, everyone will be happy, and we will, together, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Agree
It’s going to be about 18 degrees.
That’s cold enough to freeze the balls off a pool table...
Reagan’s 1985 inauguration ceremony was moved indoors and the Inaugural Parade cancelled due to extreme cold and wind. There was, and is an issue especially with the high school bands and majorettes who were scheduled to perform and simply cannot be dressed to protect against exposure to 9 degree and windy weather.
There’s always the Tom Clancy option. Don’t underestimate them.
Wow, exactly what I thought.
I'm not at all concerned about ISIS.
I am very concerned about the generals having secret meetings at the Pentagon about how to "stop Trump".
I’m really pleased with God’s decision on moving the inauguration indoors. He is always in control!
My brother said it best...”Democrats hell is freezing over!”
It did exist.
The DOJ very recently lifted restrictions over the WH just in time for the inauguration.
Okay, scroo this crap. Time to change election day to April 15th with Inauguration Day to be May 1st. Make May Day great again.
I received an invitation to both events —as I expect all republicans within the DC metro did. However, I saw the weather forcast and made no plans to come. Standing outside in the deep cold for hours to see something in the vast distance —didn’t seem so great to me.
From this announcement—it looks like they’ll be able to let in a couple thousand into the rotunda—but nothing like the 50k expected to come. So most people will still be out in the cold.
Oh wait. The overflow will be in the capital arena watching the ceremony on a jumbtron. Ok got it.
Some of his most deadly enemies are only blocks away.
High 23 deg, low 6 degrees for Monday 1/20/2025. Chance of drones?
Plus we don’t what happened to the first President Harrison-who died a month into office from pneumonia due to a long inaugural speech in bitter cold weather. DT is not a young man.
BTTT
they have to get the Trump garbage truck in there some how
Common sense strikes again.

Perhaps Devine Providence is also in play.
I’m THRILLED at the weather. No need to look chicken by going indoors just because of the idiots who might have escaped the eagle eyes of the FBI. It’s just kindness to attendees.
And SAFE! SAFE! SAFE!
