On Friday, Grifter-in-Chief Donald Trump announced via social media that his inauguration on Monday was being moved indoors due to severely cold weather that’s expected to hit the nation’s capitol over the weekend and linger into early next week.
On his Truth Social site, Trump wrote:
“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!”
But was weather the real deciding factor in Trump’s decision to move the inaugural events indoors? Or could it have been that he was terrified the crowds would be so tiny that he’d be humiliated the same way he was in 2016?
Consider: Hotel occupancy rates in Washington, D.C. are at about 70% with just a couple of days until the inauguration. That’s unusually low for an event of such historical magnitude, especially since so many Trump supporters have been anticipating such a moment ever since their political savior lost to President Joe Biden in 2020.
The bottom line is that the inauguration was moved indoors because Trump fears being humiliated. He’s an insecure man-child who desperately needs to believe that he’s beloved. But he isn’t, except in his own diseased mind.
Mother Nature is doing us all a favor and spoiling Donnie’s big day. That’s something to be thankful for.
