The inauguration of the elected US President, Donald Trump, took place in Washington. You could learn about all the nuances of the ceremony and the events around it in real time in the Fontanka broadcast.
The official part of the inauguration is over - Donald Trump has officially become the 45th President of the United States. However, the inauguration itself is not over - an official reception will take place soon, and then the celebrations will continue on January 21.
Thank you for being with us. We are ending the broadcast.
The next four years, if Trump is not lying, will be interesting.
Officials disperse and all spectators are asked to remain seated.
Jackie Ivanko performs the American anthem. Visibly worried, voice trembles:
Representatives of different faiths speak
"God Bless America"
"We must dream, we must cherish big dreams, we will exist as long as we are rich. Very often we have heard politicians complaining but doing nothing, the time for empty talk is over. The hour has come when we must act. Don't let anyone tell "that this is impossible. If the Americans unite into a single fist, nothing will stop us."
Promises to wipe out Islamic radicalism from the face of the earth
"Buy American goods and hire Americans."
"We will return our wealth and return our dream"
It looks like the new course may not appeal to everyone in the world:
"We are gathered here and we will sign a new law: a new policy will govern our country. A New Deal: America comes first, only American interests come first, no matter what it is about immigration, economics..."
And we will look again at the streets of Washington, while Trump says that people took to the streets to celebrate liberation, the victory of the people:
"A small group of people here in Washington received all the profits, but not the people of the entire country. Their victories were not your victories. They celebrated here in Washington, but ordinary people across America had nothing to celebrate. But all of that is going to change right now. This is your moment of triumph and it belongs to you. To everyone gathered here, everyone who watches this shit on TV. The USA is your country!"
“We are giving power from Washington back to the people.”
Thanks to the presidents-predecessors and the peoples of the world.
He promises to work together to shape the course of the country and the world.
Well, that's it, the 45th President of America Donald Trump
Trump is sworn in by John G. Robertson Jr., Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Ah, no. Some more music - this time a Mormon choir.
Now it's Trump's turn
Judge Clarence Thomas administers the oath of office to Vice President Pence:
Jack Schummer, senator from New York, speaks:
"We Americans have always looked to the future, no matter our sexual orientation, gender identity, race, whether we were immigrants or born here...we have always been willing to sacrifice our lives and our energies for our country, today we celebrate one of our The main elements of democracy are the peaceful transition of power."
And again we are transported to the streets of Washington
While the University of Missouri choir is singing (excellently, I say), a little more about the costumes of those who came:
"As a nation, Lord, we pray for President Trump and Vice President Pence and their families, we pray that you will give them the wisdom they need and give us strength."
Here they seem to be hinting that Melania made a little mistake with the color:
Solomon's prayer begins
Came out. Showed "ok". “Hello,” he says... And all around is not exactly, but... silence...

And individuals can donate unlimited amounts, but the name of everyone who donated over 200 thousand must be made public.

Stars and guests
Many stars refused to perform at Trump's inaugural concert - Elton John, Moby, Celine Dion, Shakira, Beyoncé, Jon Bon Jovi, U2. Many of them sympathized with Hillary Clinton during the election campaign.

According to media reports, Trump personally called Jackie's manager to invite her to perform at the ceremony.
In 2011, she already performed at a Trump charity event when she was 10 years old:

The inauguration took place in Washington on January 20, which officially entered into office. The Capitol gates for those invited to the solemn event traditionally opened at 6.00, and Trump’s inauguration itself began at 10.30 local time. This amount of time was necessary so that all 900 thousand Americans who arrived for the ceremony could get through the blocked streets, RIA Novosti reports.
ReutersThe mood of those who arrived at Trump's inauguration was high, and even among opponents there was not even a hint of provocations or protests. Americans actively discussed the WikiLeaks revelations, expressed joy at the imminent departure of a democratic president, and also made bold guesses about how the Republicans under the leadership of Trump would make America “great again.”

The inauguration ceremony for a Republican president traditionally began with a general prayer and an excursion into history, then Pence and Trump took the oath of allegiance to the US Constitution, after which the president-elect delivered an inaugural speech that lasted 17 minutes.
Reuters The new head of the United States, in his first speech as president, outlined the main directions of his policy - he confirmed his intention to “make America great” again, and also thanked his predecessor Obama for his excellent job in transferring power. Trump promised that this same power would now shift from the political establishment in Washington to the people, which drew a storm of applause from the crowd.
Reuters Also in his speech, Trump said that he would strive to ensure that America becomes an example for the whole world, and not a country that imposes its views on others. Immediately after the conclusion of President Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony, cannons were fired, after which the President went to the White House to sign his first executive orders.
Reuters Celebrations for Trump's inauguration continue. The new President of the United States and have already taken part in the traditional ball, where they performed the first dance. Donald and Melania Trump waltzed to the song My Way by Frank Sinatra.
Donald and Melania Trump's first "presidential" dance (video):
Rid the US of trash talker politicians, give America back to the Americans, protect the country and make it great again. Donald Trump, who officially took office as president, promised all this in his inaugural speech. Komsomolskaya Pravda publishes the full version of his solemn speech.
"Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, my fellow Americans and the people of the world, thank you. We are American citizens today united in the great work of rebuilding our country. Together we will shape the course of U.S. and world history for many years to come." years. We will have difficult times, but we will complete all tasks. Every 4 years we gather here to observe the peaceful transfer of power. Today's ceremony is of particular significance, we are not only ensuring the transfer of power from one administration to another, we are returning power to you - to the people. For too long a small group of people acted in their own interests. Washington prospered, but the people got nothing. The establishment protected itself, but not the people, their triumph was not your triumph, their joy was not your joy. All this will change right here and right now. This moment is yours, it belongs to you. This is your day, your holiday. USA is your country! What really matters is not the party that is in power, but that power is controlled by the people.
The world will remember January 20, 2017 as the day when people became the rulers of their country. Forgotten people will be remembered! Everyone is listening to you now, you will be part of a historical movement, and at the center of this movement is the belief that a nation exists to serve its citizens. There are many poor families in our cities, the education system is suffering, gangs, drugs, and robbers reign. All this will stop here and now. We are one nation. Their pain is our pain, their dreams are our dreams, their success is our success. We have one future, and today's oath is an oath of allegiance to all of you, American citizens.
We defended the borders of other states and refused to defend our own borders. We spent trillions of dollars abroad, we made other countries rich, and we ourselves lost our wealth. No one thought about the millions of workers left without work, but now we are looking only forward, only to the future. From now on we will have a new principle for governing the country: America is first! America is ahead! We will always be guided by this principle; everything will serve in the name of the American nation. We will protect our borders, we will not allow our well-being to be destroyed, I will fight for you as long as I live and will never let you down. America will win again like never before. We will take back our borders, our prosperity, our jobs and our dreams. We will build new roads, highways, bridges, railways, we will rebuild our country.
We will stick to the formula: for Americans and by Americans. We will strive for friendship with other countries, but at the same time we will be guided only by our own interests. We will strengthen alliances and create new ones. We will unite the world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will wipe out from the face of the earth. I declare a commitment to our interests. The Holy Scripture says: “how good it is when people live in unity.” We must strive for solidarity, because one America will not be stopped. We will always be protected: our army will protect us, but most importantly, God protect us!
