What did Trump say when announcing his inauguration?

“I have ordered that the inauguration speech, along with prayers and other speeches, be held in the United States Capitol rotunda, like Ronald Reagan did in 1985 also because of the extremely cold weather,” he wrote on his social network, Truth Social.

The last president to take the oath of office inside the Capitol was Reagan (1981-1989), at the beginning of his second term in 1985, also due to adverse weather conditions.

On Monday, a maximum temperature of -5 degrees and a minimum of -12 degrees Celsius is expected in Washington, although the thermal sensation could be much lower due to the intense winds associated with the polar vortex that will begin to affect the eastern United States this end of week, after arriving from Canada.

Additionally, the ground will likely be covered in snow, as snowfall is expected Sunday night.

Trump mentioned these weather conditions in his post on Truth Social, where he warned that thes temperatures could reach “extreme historic lows.”

“I don’t want to see anyone hurt or in danger in any way,” said the president-elect, who recommended to his followers that, if they decide to attend the events that will be held abroad, such as the parade from the Capitol to the White House , do it “well covered.”
