Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration as U.S. president is attracting headlines for its ideological undertones, policy priorities, and controversies. Global dignitaries, including far-right leaders, are attending, reflecting Trump’s ideological stance. Domestically, protests and boycotts are expected, with figures like Nancy Pelosi skipping the event.
Key policy moves are underway. GOP lawmakers are leveraging Trump’s agenda, focusing on healthcare reforms, climate spending rollbacks, and energy independence.
Cabinet confirmations, such as Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary, face Democratic resistance, delaying immediate appointments. Trump’s influence on TikTok’s ban and his robust inaugural fundraising efforts also underscore his administration’s distinct approach.
