The event, broadcast live nationally, will be headlined by country stars Toby Keith and Lee Greenwood and feature a fireworks finale. Trump is expected to spend Thursday night at Blair House, the presidential guest residence across the street from the White House.

Friday, January 20

Morning - Trump, Pence and their families are expected to attend services at St. John's Episcopal Church, just steps from the White House.

9:30 am - Inauguration ceremony begins on the west front of the Capitol with musical performances.

Attendees will include members of Congress, Supreme Court justices, diplomats and the public. Former presidents Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will attend, as will Trump's election opponent Hillary Clinton. Former president George H.W. Bush is in frail health and will not be present.

Sixteen-year-old soprano Jackie Evancho will sing the national anthem. The Rockettes dance troupe will also be performing, at a time yet to be announced.

11:30 am - Opening remarks. Religious leaders will offer the invocation and readings. Pence will be sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Noon - Trump will recite the oath of office, administered by US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.

I don’t even want to think about that traitorous piece of trash right now.

This country WILL be great again and better than ever!!

[defconw]

Barron must have elected to stay at the hotel with the other kids. Don Jr. has 5, 2 were there. Ivanka has 3, one was there. Barron is a good uncle!

[Fhios]

Melania looked angry and who was the short guy standing behind Trump in front of the Lincoln memorial?

[mouse1]

Sure is like Santa. I don’t know if I will be able to sleep tonight.

[defconw]

I would need a photo. Perhaps she is just tired.

[exit82]

This has all been very cathartic.

Almost like an exorcism for our country of the evil that is Obama and the Democrats.

The symbolism of the Trumps at the Lincoln Memorial, and the singing of the Battle Hymn of the Republic—written at the beginning of the Civil War—and the battle faced to get us to tomorrow—all of this gave glory to God for what He has done for America.

One more time.

“We will make America great again-—and greater than ever before!”

Yes, President Trump, the forgotten men and the forgotten women will work with you to make that happen.

With God’ help, we will be unstoppable.

[Shortstop7]

Melania was smiling and waving a lot! I didn’t think she looked angry at all.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

I did not think Melania looked angry at all. She didn’t look any different than she always looks - which is just lovely - and serious. She knows the sacrifices she will be making and also knows, I am sure, that her husband is at risk whenever he goes into the public realm. God bless her and God keep President and Mrs. Trump and their whole family safe!

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

Melania’s life is CHANGING BIGLY!!! I think this whole thing WILL take her a while to get used to!!! She may be starting to panic BUT she will come through it just fine!!! The BASTARDS on the opposite side certainly don’t make it easy on the family!!! Maybe THEY should stop and think about what their family would be going through!!! I think that Ivanka went to D.C. to give support to Melania this IS a HUGE CHANGE for her and being from another country she must be OVERWHELMED!!!!

[who knows what evil?]

Freepers are questioning Mrs. Trump’s demeanor after EIGHT YEARS of Micha...I mean Michelle..? Are you kidding me?

[meyer]

His Truth is Marching On!

That finale was absolutely spectacular. Chills and a tear of joy.
I am stoked!

[tomkat]

The most poignant moment for me was when they were all on their way out and stopped at the foot of the Lincoln statue.

You just have to know that thoughts of Lincoln's end had to have caused at least fleeting thoughts through all their minds.

I'm not much for praying, but if there's a God of some kind that's listening, I surely hope He/She/It will grant safety and success to that family, for theirs and all our sakes.

(amen)

[SelmaLee]

Yes, this is a huge change for Melania, and the entire family.

That precious little Arabella was about a half-minute from having a meltdown. I know that look well :)

On the other hand, Kai was eating up every second. Just a difference in their ages.

[RitaOK]

Melania appears always very contained in her countenance, but looks content and good natured when she speaks, always articulate, speaking almost always in terms of virtues, or high ideals, discipline, woven through her commentary.

She does by nature have the facial expression of a very serious person though. I like her style.

I’m tired of giddy, shrill and animated. We get THAT all day long from female yakker pundits. They get raises for that crap. HA!

[kgrif_Salinas]

All Trumpsters. When the Donald takes the oath, set off your car alarms! 60M car alarms will make for a real celebration!

[tomkat]

Little girl from a small town in eastern Europe now finds herself the First Lady of the most powerful country on Earth.

Most folks wouldn't believe a movie with that kinda script . . .

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Agreed. Melania Trump is everything Michelle Obama isn’t - she is lovely, brilliant, entrepreneural, and loyal to her husband and to America!

[hoosiermama]

Amen.
(You are living up to your namesake “doubting Thomas”. It’s ok God understands !

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yes, agreed.
