Inauguration of President Donald Trump was the main event of the year, all attention of journalists and the business establishment of the world is focused on the backstreet of the official event, unconditional observance of strict regulations, adherence to the dress code and the rules of business etiquette. Whether Trump could go through the ceremonial check and prove himself worthy of the US president's seat is hard to say, since most journalists covering this event criticized the politician in anticipation of the "scandal". How they will highlight this event, will show the next few days, and we'll look behind the scenes.
Presidential oath of Donald Trump
Yesterday, Donald Trump officially replaced Barack Obama as US president and swore an oath to the American people. According to tradition, a solemn ceremony was held in Washington: Trump raised his right hand, and laid the left on the Bible, formerly owned by the first President Abraham Lincoln, and swore an oath to the American people.
Note that the text of the oath remains unchanged for two centuries, 35 words contain the basic postulates of the legal and democratic rule of the President of the United States. In addition, every president makes a small appeal to the nation. Trump was emotional and meaningful in his speech, the main message of what was said was within the framework of his campaign slogan: "Again we will make America great!".
Donald Trump could not avoid the pathos in his speech and clearly indicated that January 20, 2017 will be remembered by the people of America as a day when people will become rulers of their country and will be able to directly influence their future. Now, according to the president, the power does not belong to the party, but to the people.
The triumph of the establishment of business America was not a triumph of the people, it has long enjoyed privileges and dividends, and the welfare of the average American has fallen dramatically. Factories, mines were closed, people lost jobs, we defended foreign states, subsidized the armies of other countries, to the detriment of their own security, and politicians were happy to grow their influence. All this in the past! In the first place should the article the family of an ordinary American, all decisions on immigration, trade and taxes only in favor of the family of our citizen.
Among the invitees to the inauguration were all former US presidents and major politicians. During the 20-minute speech, he not only thanked Barack Obama for his contribution to American history, but also indicated his messianic role for the state.
I will never let you down and fight until my last breath, only then will America be among the winners! We will follow two indestructible slogans in our economy: buy American and hire Americans! We will not only achieve the principle of good-neighborliness with world powers, we will strengthen old business alliances, but we will become an example for other states. We will lead the struggle of the civilized world against terrorism and destroy them definitively. And most importantly, we will learn to think and dream big! God bless America!
The Trump family supported the father and the president at the inauguration
On the eve of official events, all members of the Trump family flew to Washington. Ivanka Trump even shared with Instagram her impressions about the trip and the arrival:
We arrived in Washington with the whole family. Incredibly exciting moment!
Photos of the new president's family flew all the news feeds. In the pictures Ivanka with 9-month-old Theodore James, spouse Jared Kushner and 5-year-old Arabella Rose. Together with them came Donald Trump, Melania and the youngest son of Barron, as well as numerous assistants.
Where's Barron Trump?
The same evening, Barron became the most talked about person on social networks. The young man was absent from the concert "Let's make America great again", where all the members of the Trump family appeared. The real reason remained a mystery to the curious. After the event, Melanie said that the boy stayed home - shortly and without comment. But the journalists suggested that the parents deliberately acted so as not to force the child to withstand protracted protocol ceremonies.
Recall that in November last year, TV presenter Rosie O'Donnell, publicly announced that Barron Trump has signs of autism. Melania Trump immediately reacted to the attacks of the eccentric TV presenter and the bloggers and threatened with legal proceedings.
Open House in the White House
As a result of the scandalous pre-election campaign and the many-thousand rally against the inauguration of Donald Trump, the tradition of openly visiting the White House was radically revised. They are not sure that Trump will follow the example of Abraham Lincoln and decide to shake hands with each of the congregation to congratulate him. It is known that about 8 thousand people were involved to ensure the safety of the president and the assembled, some of the policemen were assembled from other states.
Mysterious star guests?
At the inauguration of the US president, celebrities are traditionally invited, some of them are honored to take part in the ceremony. As we remember, Beyonce's speech for Barack Obama was discussed by every glossy magazine for a long time. The singer's fee is still kept secret, well, and who will become the star of the concert this time? Before Tom Barrak was a difficult task, because, many singers categorically opposed Trump during the campaign.
Recall that the organizers of the event considered several candidates, but neither Elton John nor Charlotte Church did not want to participate. Invited Moby allowed himself to ridicule in social networks an offer from the presidential administration and asked about the expediency of him, as a DJ, at the inauguration.
At a press conference on the eve of the inauguration, Tom Barrak said that it was decided to make the chamber and lyric ceremony:
... we already have a star of the first magnitude - the president himself, so there is no need to collect all the celebrities!
The big disappointment was the news that Steve Ray, who previously worked with Trump as part of the campaign, will be the "official voice" of the presidential inauguration. As Charles Brotman, who always played the leading role for 60 years in the White House, confessed, he was upset and depressed. Taking on the mission in 1953 to conduct official events, he responsibly fulfilled his duty and did not expect that he would be sent to retirement right now.

The parade took place against the backdrop of riots and mass protests, the police were forced to use flash noisy grenades and tear gas to pacify the raging people in masks.
