Inauguration Day: Trump sworn in, stock market closed for MLK Day.

Sharing is Caring!

Today marks a significant moment in American history as President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. This inauguration is particularly noteworthy as it coincides with Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday dedicated to honoring the civil rights leader’s legacy. The convergence of these two events underscores the nation’s ongoing journey toward equality and justice.

The inauguration ceremony, initially planned for the West Front of the Capitol, has been moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda due to extreme cold weather. Despite the change in venue, the event is expected to draw a large audience, including world leaders, tech billionaires, and former presidents. The ceremony will feature performances by renowned artists such as Carrie Underwood and Lee Greenwood, adding a touch of grandeur to the proceedings.
