As Trump prepares for his inauguration, Washington braces for celebrations and a focus on unity despite past controversies.
Washington: So, it’s inauguration eve, and Trump is all set to celebrate his return to power. He’s got a bunch of events lined up in the capital, really leaning into that “Make America Great Again” vibe. It’s a big moment for him, especially after the last four years.
The city is on high alert, but this time, they’re not expecting the chaos we saw back in 2021. Instead, they’re gearing up for a crowd that’s excited about Trump’s second term and the Republican Party’s direction. It’s a total shift from when he left in disgrace.
Trump’s been on a roll, winning the GOP primary and the election with a solid Electoral College win. But let’s be real, he’s still a pretty divisive figure. He’s got a lot of fans, but just as many critics, which makes it tricky to talk about unity.
He’s been saying that his inauguration speech will focus on bringing people together, along with themes of strength and fairness. He even posted on social media that he can’t wait for January 20th to arrive.
On top of that, he’s been keeping an eye on global events, like the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, and the TikTok ban that just kicked in. He’s already tweeting about it, saying he’s ready to work on a solution for TikTok once he’s back in office.
Trump spent the night at Blair House, the official guest residence, after a party at his golf club that ended with fireworks. He flew back to Washington on a military plane, which is pretty cool. Sunday is his first full day back, and he’s looking to rally his supporters before the big day.
He’s got plans to lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery and then head to a rally downtown. With the weather looking chilly, he’s made some adjustments to keep things cozy for the inauguration events.
Meanwhile, Biden is wrapping up his time in office with a trip to South Carolina, reflecting on his journey to the presidency. It’s a big day for both of them, but in very different ways.
