Anything else, who cares? In years past it was barely critiqued. Everyone is wailing and gnashing because Trump won. It's hilarious.

He cares. He keeps tweeting about how epic it will be.

No what's hilarious is ya boy couldn't get Carrot Top to perform at his inauguration so now you're all pretending inaugurations aren't a big deal anyway.

I read the comments on his facebook page and the VAST majority are saying that they do not have the money or are to sick to attend but will be watching on TV and are praying for him However, it seems that the majority of hotels in town seem to be totally booked.

I recall during obamas' many people were renting out their homes, I am sure there is a lot less of that this year.

I wonder if many of the hotels are booked with protestors, though. Also I just checked and found a lot of options for that night...which hotels are totally booked?

A bust? Not if you are an ignorant, racist, uneducated lout!

Are you kidding? There used to be wall to wall coverage of the swearing in, aerial footage of the hundreds of thousands on the Mall, then the Congressional luncheon after and then the parade and then the balls. Live coverage, wall to wall.

In 1980, 1992, 2000 and 2008, the city was abuzz with activity for the weeks leading up to the big event, the talk about wardrobe for the balls etc.

This year, the hotels are not fully booked, you can get dinner reservations etc as per a normal weekend and there is almost no buzz whatsoever.

It is like as if Jimmy Carter won a second term with respect to how anyone (doesn't) care.

What you said is true, but outside of D.C., it's a day of TV coverage that people glimpse from time to time during their work day.

The end result of the peaceful transfer of power and the new President is the true meaning. The pomp is over quickly.

Trump cares. He still watches the ratings for his old show to see if Schwarzenegger is better than him.

I could give less than a "f-k" who blathers/warbles during the inag.

I am signed up for the fun and klassy Supreme Court appointments and all the things that REALLY matter. Enjoy Beyoncé and Wiz Khalifa and Bruce Springsteen moaning in unison on twitter while Trump is in the Oval doing his thing, being President.

It will be yuge! It will be the best inauguration every. Trust me, it will. Even the dishonest media can't spin the bigliest inauguration in history.
