It’s here…
The day has finally arrived when Donald J. Trump will take the captaincy and attempts to steer the US ship for the coming four years.
Last night in Washington D.C., The President-elect’s inauguration concert took place with the likes of 3 Doors Down, Toby Keith and more performing.
Held on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Trump and his family attended the controversial concert – many artists pulled out and rejected offers to perform at the ceremony – including Charlotte Church and even a Bruce Springsteen cover band.
This makes a dramatic change from Barack Obama’s inauguration concert which had the likes of Josh Groban, Sheryl Crow, will.i.am, John Legend, Jennifer Nettles, Garth Brooks, Stevie Wonder, Usher, Shakira, U2, and The Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen.
Actor Jon Voight opened the ceremony with a speech where he defended Trump against the media stating the President-elect had been subject to, “a barrage of propaganda that left us all breathless with anticipation not knowing if God could reverse all the negative lies against Mr. Trump, whose only desire was to make America great again.”
While crowds were significantly down on Obama’s concert eight years ago, that didn’t seem to affect Trumps mode too much as he listened to 3 Doors Down and The Piano Guys.
