Security measures Following an election campaign marked by violence and two assassination attempts aimed at Donald Trump (the first amid an election rally), Washington is experiencing unprecedented deployment of security forces. About 25,000 policemen and soldiers have been mobilized, security perimeter fences 48 km long, snipers will be on roofs and drones in the sky: The Secret Service, the Secret Service responsible for protecting important political persons, describes a “safety plan more compact” than previous years, which is justified by a “more threatening environment”. Authorities do, however, expect demonstrations, smaller than the anti-Trump rallies in which hundreds of thousands of people had participated in his first inauguration in 2017. This year’s inauguration is expected to be frozen, as the temperature is expected to be the lowest in the last 40 years, according to the AcuWeather weather site. From a few centimetres of snow that may fall today and a noticeable temperature predicted at -12 degrees Celsius tomorrow, Monday, polar conditions may affect the conduct of the festivities.

A.” (1978) has become the necessary musical background of Donald Trump’s gatherings, which is used to taking some dance steps when he hears it. After Hollywood stars Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez in 2021, this year country singer Carrie Underwood and tenor Christopher Machio will participate in the inauguration ceremony. The first is expected to perform the patriotic song “Americana The Beautiful”, the second American national anthem.
