President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration will be moved indoors, he announced Friday, due to dangerously cold temperatures projected in the nation’s capital.
I live in Louisana and personally know at least 5 people who have traveled to DC specifically for the inauguration. He might not have enough people to sate his appetite but there's going to be quite a few people there.
When Harrison came to Washington, he wanted to show that he was still the steadfast hero of Tippecanoe.... He took the oath of office on Thursday, March 4, 1841, a cold and wet day.[104] He braved the chilly weather and chose not to wear an overcoat or a hat, rode on horseback to the grand ceremony, and then delivered the longest inaugural address in American history
In the evening of Saturday, April 3, Harrison developed severe diarrhea and became delirious, and at 8:30 p.m. he uttered his last words....
The prevailing theory at the time was that his illness had been caused by the bad weather at his inauguration three weeks earlier.
This year, the temperature on Inauguration Day at noon — when the president-elect swears in — is expected to be in the low 20s, which is around 20 degrees below normal — likely the coldest since Reagan’s second inauguration.
Winds of 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph are likely Monday. These winds will make conditions feel frigid. Wind chills are likely to hover around 10 degrees during the daylight hours and could drop into the single digits after sundown.
A mix of rain and snow is possible Sunday ahead of the main event, but Monday so far looks to be cold and windy, but dry.
Obama's inauguration had the coldest conditions since Reagan's and he still had a massive crowd. Trump is a pathetic little coward who's scared to death of a small crowd size and everyone making fun of him by doing that gesture Obama made in his convention speech.
He's old. He probably can't handle 12F for very long without looking and sounding really bad. Fascism can't work if people see the leader as a doddering old man
Edit: it was even colder when Reagan was inaugurated in 85, -32⁰C wind-chill. Two of the worst presidents in history forced to hold the inauguration in private.
