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

i came on specifically to mention the hat and failed kiss!

EasyLifer · 20/01/2025 16:46

I'm watching for the outfits! Usha Vance looks beautiful, I love that pink colour on her.

Is Elon there? I'm assuming so?

He's behind tall lad Barron.

A peaceful transfer of power - unlike last time

That hat kiss was hilarious. She has rictus grin. Mind you she’s First Lady. A lot to put up with mind you!

Yes I will. So glad to get rid of the women-hating, children mutilating Dems. I didn't feel this way the last time but I do think Trump is badly needed now.

What an odd time we're living in when Trump is lauded as the saviour of women and kids....Trump ffs.

Well in all of America there was only the choice of Trump or Kamala.

The Democrats aided and abetted sexual assault by allowing men entry to call themselves women and have access to women's spaces and women's bodies. They've aided and abetted the mutilation of children in the name of gender ideology.

I completely get all of that, and I totally agree re the damage that gender ideology has done, particularly to young, vulnerable women.

But Trump? 😳

I can’t even conjure up the words to describe how dismayed I am that a) the Republicans considered him to be a suitable candidate and b) that the USA has nothing in place to prevent a felon from running the country.

I LOVE politics and I love an occasion like this. But I cannot watch.

This corrupt creature only launched himself back into politics to escape jail. And it’s worked. He is a foul corruption of democracy and I cannot believe he’s been allowed back into power again.

This is a sad day for history and I for one don’t want to witness it.

I bet they're glad they got some of those old folk sat down before they fell down - Clinton looks like his back very much not his friend any more.

fixingmylife · 20/01/2025 16:48

Kamala's body language is very telling isn't it.

RedRiverShore5 · 20/01/2025 16:48

I always watch this sort of stuff, usually to see what people are wearing.

wholettheturnipsburn · 20/01/2025 16:49

Horriblevirusagain · 20/01/2025 15:20

I'm watching. Can't wait to hear what good Donald does over the next few months. Stopping gender surgery on kids is a brilliant start! Taking the LGBTQ out of the classroom also a great start. Starmer is the worst Prime minister the UK has ever had and he is dangerous to the UK also. Trump and Reform are the only ones who actually care about people's safety.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I remember watching Carter hand over to Reagan when I was little

Can you imagine this lot sitting out in the cold

Half of them would have their silicone freeze and the rest of them would shrivel up due to age, bless them

My US friends have put Nickelodeon on all day and then gone out to walk their dogs, have a coffee etc. That way, the viewer ratings for children's cartoons will be higher than D'ump. He'll get that message.

Only to see what Melania is wearing / which designer dressed her.

Not many designers are willing to. Tom Ford for example has refused. Ralph Lauren does

Quote myself as I must NEVER miss an opportunity to say that I worked with Priti Patel years ago, before she was an MP.

She was... awful. Quite thick and would lie about the most minor of things.
Baffling that she has done so well.

Overpromoted and then start to believe they must have deserved it. There was a post a few years ago from someone who was her teacher/tutor when she was resitting her A levels.

CheesecakeOnTheLanai · 20/01/2025 16:51

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.

Who is the woman behind Barron Trump - very disfigured face??

They can watch SpongeBob all they want but it doesn't change the fact that Trump is their President and the majority of America wanted him.

In a parallel universe, Carrie Underwood is actually singing, "Before He Cheats" whilst flipping the bird.
