Trump Inaugurates Second Term Amid Polar Vortex

Donald Trump is set to be inaugurated for a second term as president on Monday, marking a remarkable political comeback after four years away from the White House. The ceremony will occur indoors at the US Capitol due to extreme cold weather conditions, a move reminiscent of Ronald Reagan's 1985 inauguration. Observers anticipate a potentially volatile inaugural speech where Trump may oscillate between promises of a 'golden age' and threats of vengeance against political enemies. Trump's inaugural festivities include a star-studded rally featuring Elon Musk and a performance by the Village People, emphasizing a theme of 'unity' in contrast to his historical rhetoric. Despite the celebratory atmosphere, Trump is expected to quickly sign executive orders on contentious issues like migration and potentially pardon individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riots. His inauguration will also see the attendance of major business figures, highlighting his influence on contemporary American politics.
