re: #112 thedopefishlives

I just checked Wikipedia, it says Trump’s oath of office was administered at 12:00 sharp back in 2017. I wonder if it’s just a question of timing and temperature; somebody mentioned snow, it must be a decently cold day in Washington.

I had read something last night that Trump is notoriously late for everything, and there was a real possibility that noon would come and go without the oath being administered, leaving Pence briefly as the acting president.

Apparently that spooked and upset him enough that he showed up on time.
