On January 20, 2025, President-elect Donald Trump will officially begin his second term as the 45th President of the United States. At 78 years old, Trump, with JD Vance as his vice president, is set to take the oath of office in a ceremony that promises to be a spectacle for both political figures and the public. The inauguration is expected to attract a global stage, with prominent leaders and public figures in attendance.
Potential Performers for the Trump Inauguration
While the final list of performers is still under wraps, speculation about who will take the stage continues. During Trump’s first inauguration in 2017, Lady Gaga performed the national anthem, and it remains uncertain whether Trump will invite similar high-profile celebrities or opt for performers more in tune with his supporter base.
Celebrity Supporters of Trump in 2024
Several notable celebrities have expressed their support for Trump during his 2024 re-election campaign. Among them is rapper Kanye West, also known as Ye, who declared his backing for Trump, stating in February 2024, “Of course, it’s Trump all day!”
Model and TV personality Amber Rose also voiced her admiration for Trump’s leadership style, calling him an ‘alpha male’ and praising his strong aura, which she believes will benefit the nation.
World Leaders at Trump’s Inauguration
As expected, world leaders will be in attendance to witness Trump’s second term. Reportedly, Argentina’s President Javier Milei, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and business magnate Elon Musk are expected to be present at the ceremony. Additionally, 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is also anticipated to attend. However, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Barack Obama have yet to confirm their attendance.
How to Watch the Inauguration Ceremony
For those who cannot attend in person, Trump’s inauguration will be streamed live on the Times Now YouTube channel. The ceremony will begin at 11 AM EST.
Notable Changes for Trump’s Inauguration
Trump’s second term will mark a historical moment, as he will be the first U.S. president to be sworn in with all public flags at half-staff. This gesture follows President Joe Biden’s decision to declare 30 days of mourning for former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away last month.
