Bit of a boring one I guess. I'm gonna get the snacks in for me and dd as the coverage starts at 3.30/4pm (UK obs)

I love to watch stuff like this, makes me feel connected to the world 😅🙈

Plus I wanna see if anyone slips up and let's their face show their real thoughts

Plus I'll be making comparisons between barron and Gary barlow's giant son

It must be incredibly difficult for Kamala Harris to have to sit through this, just wondering what might have been. I'm still not over Melania's outrageously ridiculous hat, I keep expecting her to moonwalk across the dais.

What's "outrageously ridiculous" about it?? She looks very classy. I wonder what your taste is.

Westfacing · 20/01/2025 17:08

What was that bit by one of the preachers referring to Melania loving everyone around the world? Maybe I miss-heard!

TokyoSushi · 20/01/2025 17:08

Lot's of people in the audience seem amused!

And Starmer wasn't invited to this one. That's another first for the UK.

No it isn't. Confused No UK PM has ever attended. Confused

I had his rally on in the background yesterday & had to turn it off as it was bonkers! No doubt his inauguration will be too. Phrase of the day on here for me is “Orange Hitler”. As I said on a pp, that’s hilarious & terrifying in equal measure.

Edited

He did put immigrant children in cages so he kept that one. And he said men should grab women by the pussies and got a sexual abuse conviction so I’m saying he did quite well.

NooNakedJacuzziness I would not be surprised if that appears on Broadway!

CheesecakeOnTheLanai · 20/01/2025 17:07

It's all getting a bit strange now, not quite as strange as seeing Trump dancing to YMCA yesterday, but still.

As awful as he is, trump is one funny guy

I too would stand like he is, in front of my enemies, while I get anointed president

Sickening to see the Tech Bros sucking up to Trump

Not a back bone between them!

Very jolly singing!

Trump doesn’t care about any of these issues. He says what he needs to in order to get elected. Now he’s looking for enrichment and revenge. Nothing more.

Show quote history

Many of the kids he separated from parents at the border and put in cages were never reunited. How anyone could think that the convicted felon and sexual abuser who is ‘leads’ the party responsible for removing women’s reproductive rights cares about women and children needs their head testing, although it’s too late for that.

crumpet · 20/01/2025 17:06

I’ve just turned it on. Has Trump pinched Claudia’s lipstick?

NooNakedJacuzziness · 20/01/2025 17:06

@user09678 no UK Prime Minister has ever been invited to a presidential inauguration.

Usha has silver streaks. I approve of that. Glassy smile but good hair.

I can't stop smirking at Melania's hat.

Clearly Melania’s hat worked well at deflecting his attempt to kiss her on her cheek!

3floofs · 20/01/2025 17:05

Stranger and stranger to watch

MsGoodWife · 20/01/2025 17:05

I just switched on. It's almost comical, if it wasn't so impactful for the rest of us.

TokyoSushi · 20/01/2025 17:05

It's very religious, we don't have that in the UK do we.

We do.

Our head of state is the monarch and the coronation was very religious.

HoraceCope · 20/01/2025 17:05
