At the inauguration of Donald Trump, who will be sworn in as president on Monday, a multitude of events is planned. Among the key announcements Trump made on the second stage in the office is the restoration of the policy on asylum "Stay in Mexico," the revival of the wall construction at the border, an increase in the intake of sought-after deportees, and the labeling of individuals convicted for participating in the January 6 Capitol insurrection.
For the inauguration, 18 gal has been allocated including official events that Trump himself is expected to attend. On Sunday, the "Rally for Victory: We Make America Great Again" at the National Stadium will mark his return to Washington after the events of January 6, 2021.
In the evening, there will be a gathering for Republican donors, jointly organized by Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Miriad Adelson, and Tilman Fertitta. The evening program will feature the broadcast of the inauguration at the White House’s rooftop, with the organizer being oil magnate Harold Hamm.
Funding for all official events will be taken care of by the inaugural committee, chaired by real estate mogul Steve Witkoff and former senator Kelly Loeffler. Major donors include Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, and Sam Altman from OpenAI, each pledging $1 million. It is anticipated that the fundraising for the 2022 inauguration will exceed $170 million, significantly surpassing the amount raised for the 2017 inauguration.
Trump's inauguration will again create a mix of tradition, high-profile guests, and decisive political actions, laying the groundwork for the next stage of his administration. Inauguration Day will be filled with ceremonies, performances, and actions central to the political scene.
The inauguration will begin at 12 PM EST under the direction of Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts. The ceremony itself will be moved inside due to low temperatures on the steps of the Capitol building. The goal of the introductory performance of Trump is to express unity and optimism in contrast to his speech in 2017, in which a bleak image of "American strife" was described.
Former President Joe Biden confirmed his participation in the inauguration, maintaining the tradition of a peaceful transfer of power. Trump invited several foreign leaders, including Argentine President Javier Milei, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and also declined to have Chinese leader Xi Jinping present.
The traditional parade along Pennsylvania Avenue has been canceled due to weather conditions. An alternative event will take place at the Capitol Van stadium, where military bands, musical acts, and carnival colonies will participate.
On the first working day, Trump plans to sign several executive orders on immigration, energy, and immigration policy, including the announcement of Mexican narco-cardels as "foreign terrorist organizations."
