Trump Inauguration Moved Indoors Due to Dangerous Cold Weather

Trump Inauguration Moved Indoors Due to Dangerous Cold Weather

The wind chills will be in the single digits.

Well, Kemberlee and I won’t be at the inauguration.

The dangerously cold weather forced President-elect Donald Trump to move his inauguration inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. He wrote on Truth Social:

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!

    “Climate change”

    But we ain’t talking about the weather climate that’s a changin’!

    Yes we all want elderly men to be out in single digits for hours including a 78 year old president being sworn in……

    If you went to a doctor would he/she confirm “yes it would be healthy for Donald J Trump to be out in single digits for a couple of hours”?

    That’s why it so badly needs a nice, warm Trump hotel.

Because of cold weather?

Or is that the cover story, and there are other, undisclosed safety concerns that prompted them to change venue?

    Bingo! A lot of people have been very concerned that the risks were too great for an outdoor event. There is still on major risk… the Capitol Police. I’d put Lt. Byrd and his ilk on leave right now.

    Conveniently both. We’re forecast for 10 degrees F, and getting colder.

    Unjammable FPV drones. The Russian and Ukrainian ones have a 5+ mile range.

    In weather likely in the single digits…..

    Trump is an active old man but he is an old man. If it was security concerns that is what he would have said.

    I’ll take “deranged liberal assassin” for $1,000 Alex.

    AF_Chief_Master_Sgt in reply to nordic prince. | January 17, 2025 at 7:24 pm

    Why? Byrd only has a habit of killing unarmed conservative white women and forgetting he left his firearm in the shitter.

    19°F at dawn, high of 24, snow, wind, dropping to 10° overnight into Tuesday.

    After what those fucking idiots did to the ceremonial troops and bands at Carter’s funeral, I welcome this temporary adjustment.

    In terms of more permanent changes. I’d also welcome a change of Election Day to April 15 (trade your tax return for your ballot) and Inauguration Day to May 1.

The band won’t have to lip-sync everything then, as they had been doing outdoors.

So much for Antfa’s 1000 mostly peaceful protesters.

There go the media’s pre-written, “Trump takes office as inauguration ceremonies plagued by frostbite, hypothermia” and “Questions arise as to why events were not moved indoors”.

Inaugurations aren’t, “Swearing-in is at Noon, everyone show up at 10:30.” He’s right that there are going to be lots of people standing out there way before the ceremony begins and for a bunch of them, for many hours afterward because of the parade. This type of weather is not very common for the DC area and it’s better to take some of the stress off the military, law enforcement, and first responders not just to keep them from personally having problems due to the cold but also to keep them from having to respond to scores of attendees and parade participants, many of whom won’t or don’t have the proper attire.

    Or common sense.

    “Trump, Republicans pounce on opportunity to move Inauguration behind closed doors”

    “What are they trying to hide? Here’s a shortlist”

    What other headlines and op-ed titles are coming?

Well if this ain’t karma,,,,hahahahahahahahahahaah

Must be because of “Climate change,” that magical beast that can do anything.

Inauguration being moved inside due to the threat of unjammable FPV drones from Russia or Ukraine.

Fixed it for you.

I think from day one, he should have said, “We will do the ceremony in the Capitol building, then I’m heading to the Oval to get to work.” Would have set an example of what he intends to do and would have contrasted with the current regime. And would have saved a boatload of money.

too cold for golf. That’s all this fat slob did the first time.

    FFS!

    Your demented G*d spent nearly half of his pResidency on the beach in a drug induced stupor, yet this is all you can come up with.

    Where T F do you people come from? Your mother’s back hole?

      This god-like man is gonna make America SOOOOOO great again. He’ll fix this: Record dow. Record domestic oil production. Record. job creation. Low unemployment. Inflation under control . America not at war.

      What a mess Biden left him!!!

        1) The Dow always goes up over time, because of inflation inflating stock value in dollars if for no other reason.
        2) Oil production that doesn’t keep track with oil consumption is insufficient. And the reason why we went from self sufficient with low energy costs back to importer with high energy costs setting off inflationary prices on everything and funneling our money to nations that hate us.
        3) after voluntarily crippling our economy with a never-ending “slow the spread” 2 week shutdown – which based on comparisons between states and nations with differing levels of Covid panic wasn’t necessary – a return to where we were is not job creation so much as jobs returning. Too bad with 10 million new undocumented immigrants lot of that return didn’t go to the folks screwed by Covid panic job losses.
        4) higher unemployment than under Trump 1.0
        5) higher inflation than under Trump 1.0
        6) more proxi wars, spending money we don’t have and wouldn’t have to spend if the Abraham Accords, starving Iran of terrorism mad money, and starving Russia of invasion mad money hadn’t been abandoned or sabotaged because Orange Man Bad.

    “I feel a great disturbance in the force is upon us,” said Obi-Wan “Ben” Kenobi. “It’s as if hundreds of thousands of progressive, liberal fact-checkers and paid activists cried out in terror because they are permanently silenced. Resist not for your chickens have come home to roost.”

    “The first time”?! Jan 20, 2017 was a pretty busy day for him. I don’t recall him managing to squeeze in a round of golf somewhere in there.

If only Tippecanoe Harrison had done the same, he might not have literally caught his death giving a 2-hour speech in the freezing cold.

Though checking Wikipedia tells me that this is a misconception. Apparently he survived the cold weather at his inauguration just fine, despite the 2-hour speech, but caught his death by going out in another rainstorm 20 days later and then not changing out of his wet clothes, and died 10 days after that.

Now, there are reports that it might be moved to the White House.
Nancy Pelosi and Michelle Obama already bailed.
Then we get this …
