As the nation prepares for President-elect Donald Trump’s highly anticipated inauguration, excitement is building with numerous events, and in true Trump fashion, a few surprises. For those looking to tune in to the inauguration festivities and witness history in the making, here’s everything you need to know, along with some unexpected developments in the lead-up to the event.
Live Coverage of Trump’s Inauguration
More than two dozen reporters and visual journalists will be covering the inauguration in real-time starting early Monday morning. From the swearing-in ceremony to Trump’s inaugural speech, the events will be broadcast across major news networks and digital platforms, allowing viewers to follow along as the new president takes office.
Trump’s swearing-in ceremony, set to take place on the Capitol steps, will be the focal point of the morning, followed by the traditional inaugural address. As with previous inaugurations, millions are expected to tune in to see the transition of power, marking a significant moment in American politics.
Trump Launches New Cryptocurrency Token
In addition to the inauguration, President-elect Trump has launched a new cryptocurrency token just ahead of the event, adding another unusual twist to his brand. The new token has been gaining attention, with its value soaring in the days leading up to the inauguration.
Trump promoted the token in a post late Friday, calling on his supporters to celebrate with him. “It’s time to celebrate everything we stand for: WINNING! Join my very special Trump Community,” he wrote, accompanied by a graphic of Trump holding a fist with the words “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.” This reference harkens back to Trump’s bold defiance following an assassination attempt during a political rally in July.
The cryptocurrency is marketed as a way to express support for Trump’s movement rather than an investment opportunity, but that hasn’t stopped people from trying to profit. Initially priced at $10, the value of the Trump meme coin has surged to as much as $70, though it experienced a sharp decline by Sunday afternoon. On the same day, a similar coin promoting First Lady Melania Trump was launched, which traded for around $5 per coin.
Where to Watch
The inauguration events will be available on major TV networks, including CNN, Fox News, and NBC, as well as online streaming platforms such as YouTube, where live streams will offer comprehensive coverage. Additionally, many social media platforms, including Twitter and Facebook, will provide real-time updates and highlights.
For those interested in both the official events and the unique cryptocurrency launch, keeping an eye on Trump’s social media channels will offer the latest details. Trump has a history of promoting his brand in unconventional ways, and this cryptocurrency launch appears to be just another example of that.
Whether you’re tuning in for the inauguration itself or to see the latest development in Trump’s business ventures, Monday promises to be a day filled with historic moments and unexpected twists.
