#Inauguration

After taking the Internet by storm in the last months of 2016 and sparking significant outrage among Twitter users following his election, the Inauguration of 45th US President Donald Trump, marking the initiation of his four-year term as President and Mike Pence’s as Vice President, was a major January highlight on social media. Held on January 20 on the West Front of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C, the ceremony brought together a total of 160,000 people and had the Internet talking for days, from endless jokes, memes and speculations made around Trump and First Lady Melania while also featuring former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle to a widely circulated picture showcasing the remarkable crowd-size discrepancy between Trump’s Inauguration and Obama’s latest inauguration.
