The official inauguration ceremony of Donald Trump, the 47th President-elect of the United States, returning to the White House after four years, will be held indoors for the first time in 40 years due to an 'Arctic cold wave' on the 20th (local time). Trump, who declared, "I will be a dictator at least on the first day of my inauguration," is expected to announce the dawn of the 'MAGA (Make America Great Again)' era by issuing around 100 executive orders on the inauguration day, including deportation of illegal immigrants, tariff increases, and fossil fuel support. On the day before the inauguration, he will hold a 'MAGA Victory' rally with supporters to celebrate his election victory and the arrival of America First policy that will shake the world.

Although Trump’s official inauguration ceremony will take place at noon Eastern Time on the 20th (2 a.m. Korean time on the 21st), the inauguration events began two days earlier on the 18th. On the 18th, Trump moved from his home in Palm Beach, Florida, to Washington D.C. Afterwards, he held a party with invited guests at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia, and enjoyed fireworks.

On the 19th, he visited Arlington National Cemetery to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Later, he attended the MAGA Victory rally held from 3 p.m. at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C., an indoor stadium with a capacity of 20,000. Country singer Lee Greenwood, who sang 'God Bless the U.S.A.' during Trump’s campaign, and the disco group Village People, known for 'Y.M.C.A.', performed on stage. Trump, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk also took the podium to give speeches.

On the 19th (local time), supporters of President-elect Donald Trump, the 47th President of the United States, gathered near the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C., where the "MAGA Victory" rally celebrating Trump's win was scheduled.

On the 20th, the day of Trump’s inauguration, the temperature is expected to drop to between -5 and -8 degrees Celsius due to the Arctic cold wave, so the ceremony will be held indoors in the 'Rotunda Hall' at the center of the Capitol rather than outdoors. The inauguration venue was changed from the front lawn of the Capitol. This is the first time since President Ronald Reagan’s second inauguration in 1985 that a U.S. presidential inauguration is held indoors. The Rotunda Hall can accommodate about 350 people, or around 700 if seats are packed tightly, so only lawmakers, Trump’s second-term cabinet members, and foreign diplomatic envoys are expected to attend.

Among foreign leaders, far-right leaders Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy, and Javier Milei, President of Argentina, will attend. It is rare for foreign leaders to attend a U.S. presidential inauguration, but these hardline right-wing leaders were exceptionally invited by Trump. Trump also invited Chinese President Xi Jinping, but China will send Vice Premier Han Zheng as a special envoy to the inauguration. From South Korea, Ambassador Cho Hyun-dong to the U.S. and his spouse will attend.

On the 20th (local time), the 'Rotunda Hall' at the center of the U.S. Capitol, where the inauguration of Donald Trump, the 47th President-elect of the United States, will be held.

Trump will start his first day in office with a service at St. John's Episcopal Church. Afterwards, he will move to the White House to have a brief meeting with President Joe Biden, then proceed to the Rotunda Hall where the inauguration ceremony will be held. He will take the oath of office with his hand on the Bible in front of Chief Justice John Roberts and deliver an inaugural address signaling the start of the MAGA era. The ceremony will conclude with a congratulatory song, the national anthem, and the farewell of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump will have a joint session luncheon with Congress, receive a military review, and then move to the Oval Office, the presidential office in the White House, to begin his first official duties. He is expected to sign numerous executive orders, including anti-immigration measures anticipated as the first order, tariff increases on China, Canada, and Mexico, expanded fossil fuel support, and a TikTok ban suspension law. He is expected to issue around 100 executive orders on the first day alone to 'erase Biden.' He will also attend three inaugural balls held in the evening.

On the second day, the 21st, a large-scale deportation operation involving 100 to 200 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents is expected to be conducted in Chicago, Illinois. Chicago is the political base of former President Barack Obama and a Democratic stronghold.
