According to Reuters, “Trump is expected to head immediately to his golf club in Sterling, Virginia, on the outskirts of Washington, where a crowd of some 500 guests will view a fireworks display and musical performances that include Leo Days, an Elvis impersonator and Christopher Macchio, a tenor whom Mr. Trump has previously featured at political events.”
Due to anticipated freezing temperatures and high winds, the inaugural ceremony has been moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda. This marks the first indoor inauguration since Ronald Reagan’s in 1985.
