A beautiful thread to discuss the 45th President of the USA, Donald Trump

As requested from a previous thread

It's going to be a beautiful thread. MNers, who by the way are amazing, can contribute as much as they want.

In other words, we couldn't be arsed looking for a choir so asked my nearest college

..."and told them if they didn't show up, I'd hurt them next time we are looking at funding for our state college." (I'm assuming the state colleges get some government support.)

Feels more like a state funeral!

That is so true... no one is happy, are they? Shouldn't this be a celebration?

Peaceful transition of power...

I wonder what they think of the UK. Out the next day after an election.

No ceremony. Just out the door

I love the "average Americans saving us in a time of strife" - that 'drain the swamp' image up-thread says Bear Stearns got a £17bn government bailout (i.e. from the taxpayers).

Trump looks all shrunked down in his chair, like a school pupil being told by the principal.

Posture!

I can't cope with two threads at once so I'm sticking here!

Yes but coronations are quite big I believe!

I mean't "cheeky fucker!" with my previous message, by the way.

I can't see Trump. Is the camera on him on a different channel? BBC1 is zoomed in on Chuck Shumer.

At least coronations aren't every four years!

Well, hopefully not, anyway.

I've got ABC news live streaming.
I'm at, , work.

Aaagh DS interrupted by needing a lift. Thank god for R5L - who was reporting crowds are about a third the size of the ones for Obama in 2008.

This Chuck Schumer speech a tiny bit pointed with all the references to "all the people", race, religion sex etc. Love the ref to the media, ha.

I'm just remembering back how utterly joyful Obama's inauguration was - nothing could be more starkly different

Pence must be thinking 'this isn't what I signed up for!'

Is claig the missing one on the other thread?

The man swearing in Mike Pence does not look happy about doing it!

Who is the smily git to Pence's left - the white guy with FisherPrice black hair?

Pence signed up to be President. Of Gilead.

Will Trump smirk during his oath?

Illegitimate think he's just security - happy he's on telly probably!

Is that a Handmaids Tale reference, Spud?

Isn't that speaker of the house... Paul Ryan? Grinning the whole time

Wish it was like a wedding where the gathering are asked, if anyone knows a reason why this man can't be President, speak now or forever hold your peace!

It is.

Ooh another choir in tartan! Trump - you're still not having much luck with that golf club are you?
