Oath on the Bible, presence of tech bosses… What will Donald Trump's inauguration look like?

Donald Trump will be sworn in to become the 47th American president on Monday January 20. In Washington, the American capital, the cold disrupted the celebrations.

Blizzard, snow and polar cold which did not dampen the enthusiasm of the MAGA, these supporters of Donald Trump came to celebrate the triumph of their idol in the capital, bundled up in sweaters, beanies or hats with effigy of their hero.

The oath on the Bible, an immutable ceremony

It's an unusual Trumpist atmosphere in Washington, but the crowd will be deprived of a ceremony on the Mall, at the foot of the Capitol, everything will happen inside, as in 1985, 40 years ago, when Ronald Reagan had repeated the words of the President of the Supreme Court to take the oath in the Rotunda of the Capitol: “I, Ronald Reagan, do solemnly swear to faithfully discharge the duties of President of the United States, and to safeguard, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. And God help me“. An immutable formula, which all American presidents have repeated, hand on the Bible, since George Washington in 1789.

Donald Trump will repeat the same words, he will raise his right hand and place his left hand on the same Bibles as in 2017, his own, that his mother gave him in 1955, the other having belonged to Abraham Lincoln.

The omnipresent word “borders”

The tone of Donald Trump's speech should resemble what he already proclaimed eight years ago, when he called for “America first!” “Starting today, it will be America first. All commercial, tax, immigration and foreign policy decisions will be made in favor of American employees and American families.“, said Donald Trump in 2017, who already at the time was pointing out the question of borders, speaking of devastation.

The word “borders” should be omnipresent. Donald Trump even appointed one “border tsar“, Tom Homan. The latter will probably go to Chicago or other cities on Tuesday morning to arrest illegal immigrants, of whom there are around 11 million in the United States. “Mass deportation“, “mass deportation“, this is Donald Trump's expression to say that he is going to bring out some or all of the 11 million illegal immigrants who live in the United States. This is what Donald Trump describes as “the largest deportation program in American history“.

The other border that Donald Trump will talk about is that of customs duties on European products, Canada, Mexico and Chinese products.

A hundred decrees upon his arrival

If polar cold has fallen on Washington, Donald Trump promises an avalanche of decrees as soon as he arrives at the White House. A hundred of these “executive orders” could be signed this week. Acting very quickly and very strongly is what the supporters of the new president are waiting for, like Lisa who traveled from Florida: “I believe we will return to our roots. This country was founded on principles and morals inherited from God. The 2020 Election Was Stolen From President Trump, But Who cares?“.

“Today is the moment, he will be able to eliminate diversity, wokism, meritocracy and all the garbage that we have been subjected to for the last four years.”

He will close our borders and prevent criminals from entering here. People who shouldn't be here and who are hurting America. He loves our country and we love him for that“, Lisa continues.

Tech bosses at the forefront

The inexperienced billionaire of 2017, surrounded by a novice administration, gave way to a steamroller ready to sweep over the country, and preparing this return to power for months. He has built a dedicated team, where loyalty has often taken precedence over competence and where the world's biggest fortunes and tech bosses will have their place, Elon Musk in the lead, the boss of Tesla or SpaceX, but also Marc Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, the boss of Appel, or even Bernard Arnault, the boss of LVMH.
