Because it is currently freezing in the US, Donald Trump’s inauguration will be moved to the Capitol. The Republican explained that he didn’t want people to get hurt in any way. Traditionally, the ceremony actually takes place in the open air.
The inauguration usually draws large crowds to the National Mall, the large promenade between the Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial. This time, a sports arena in downtown Washington will also open for visitors to watch the ceremony live via broadcast. Trump said on his Truth Social platform that he would come to the arena after the swearing-in.
Remembering Ronald Reagan
The American capital Washington is currently unable to escape freezing temperatures. Monday could be colder than an inauguration in decades. At least it shouldn’t be as icy as it was at Ronald Reagon’s second inauguration in 1985. At that time it was around minus 14 degrees at noon.
This time around minus eight degrees is predicted for Sunday night, the maximum temperature on Monday is expected at minus six degrees. But it could feel significantly colder, they said.
Reagan’s inauguration is considered the coldest since weather records began in 1871. Trump has repeatedly used cold snaps in the past as an opportunity to mock where global warming has gone.
