Trump is expected to spend Thursday night at Blair House, the presidential guest residence across the street from the White House.

For me, personally, this event is the equivalent of “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!”

God bless the USA!

I don’t have TV... just internet.

Good morning Ray.

We all need to sit back, relax and savor the next few days, that’s for sure.

Something I’m going to work on, not hearing all the nasty negativity of the left, stick fingers in ears and sing at the top of my lungs to avoid.

I’m so very happy and I wish to share that marvelous feeling with everyone.

That would’ve been a great speech to hear, I’m sure!

Voight has been on the Trump Train, since day one.

Well said, Jane.

I loved the way Trump interacts with regular people.

And he saved the cameraman from being run over!

Glad you enjoyed it.

Congrats and please keep your deplorable FRamily posted on all of the happenings!

[RayofHope]

This appears to be the OFFICIAL proclamation, thank you Jane!

[RayofHope]

That’s a good philosophy going forward. Ignore them......

[FlossieBuzz]

Yes maam & thank you. Got my camera all ready. Don’t think it will be difficult to find some hunky bikers, or a hunky deplorable for that matter. lol

I agree - Melania would look great in anything! As would Ivanka. I’m excited to see all the gowns, too. I bet all of the ladies will have lovely outfits for the swearing in, too. The kids will be dressed to the nines as well.

I’m curious as to which family members will be sleeping in the various WH bedrooms - hope they let us know (Lara said she’d be fine in the basement and will go wherever they tell her to go). I suspect DJT said that his first day would be Monday so he can spend some time with the family in the WH.
