Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President inside the Capital Rotunda as bitter cold is forecast to grip the nation’s capital on Monday.

The president-elect announced the change of plans in a noontime Truth Social post Friday, writing in part: “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!).

Must be that GoreBull Warming I keep hearing about.

[Red Badger]

Inaugurations should be in November or December................

Excellent! I believe God’s hand is on this too, for the purpose of dems and other terribles left outside the gate with weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Good news.

Must be Global Warming.

We in Minnesota will have a high temp of -4°F on Inauguration Day.

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!

Best news of the week!

Washington crossed the Delaware. Just saying

[tennmountainman]

Wise decision for numerous reasons.

[Sacajaweau]

Common sense. Of course the crowd will be thinner....so what...

[bgill]

Can we please cancel the rally.

[suasponte137]

God really is pulling out all stops to protect this man.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The cold weather will keep all the Anteefa/BLM cockroaches from “mostly peacefully protesting” too.

[Sacajaweau]

The flag goes up, the temps go down...

Common Sense prevails....

[SaxxonWoods]

Darn that Climate Change.

Probably screws up a Democrat assassination attempt.
