Washington: Within less then 12 hours, the president elect Donal J Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States here on Friday — capping his improbable journey to the White House and beginning a four-year term that would be intriguing Washington and the world.
As reported by the media an estimated 800,000 people will gather on the National Mall in the center of the nation’s capital to celebrate a man whose short 19-month political career has defied all predictions, and many norms.
In the primaries, he dominated a crowded Republican presidential field with bare knuckle rhetoric and star power. He rode that same wave of anti-elite sentiment to victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton in the November election.
At 70 years of age, he is the oldest man ever to begin work in the Oval Office.
For his supporters, like Jake, a Californian who travelled to Washington for the inauguration, that is a central part of Trump’s appeal.
While interacting with the media Jake said “It honestly feels like we won the American Revolution again, I really feel like we’ve taken back our culture, we’ve taken back our country.
We’ve really been under attack from a lot of the establishment on both sides of the aisle — we’ve been under attack from the media, from the celebrities.” he further added to his statement.
