Trump's Inauguration Relocated Indoors Due to Anticipated Freezing Conditions


"There is a cold Arctic wave hitting the nation," Trump posted on his Truth Social account on Friday. "As a result, I have decided that the Inauguration Address, along with prayers and other presentations, will occur in the Rotunda of the United States Capitol."


Donald Trump announced that his presidential inauguration set for Monday will now take place indoors because of the forecasted freezing temperatures, disappointing Republican ambitions for a lavish display to mark the beginning of his second term.


"A frigid Arctic air mass is affecting the entire country," Trump shared on his Truth Social platform on Friday. "Consequently, I have instructed that the Inauguration Address, together with prayers and various speeches, should be conducted in the United States Capitol Rotunda."


This alteration in arrangements means that Trump will not be positioned on the steps of the Capitol that overlook the National Mall, which normally accommodates a large assembly to greet new presidents. The Rotunda, a beautifully decorated circular chamber beneath the dome of Congress, usually fits only a few hundred attendees.


Forecasts indicate that Washington, D.C. will experience significant sub-freezing temperatures on Monday, with strong winds exacerbating the chill.


Preparations have been conducted in Washington for a substantial arrival of guests -- with rows of chairs neatly arranged on the Mall -- but most will now be required to view the event via television.


This is the first time such a precaution has been implemented since Ronald Reagan's inauguration in 1985, which also faced perilously cold weather.
