America is four days away from the inauguration of its 45th president, and no one’s quite sure what to expect.
Protests have been planned, political and celebrity boycotts have been widely publicised, and the president-elect, Donald Trump, has vowed to make the somewhat stripped-down affair all about “the people” — whatever that means.
The nervous build up to January 20, 2017, couldn’t be more starkly different from the global euphoria felt surrounding the same day eight years ago, when Barack Obama was sworn in for his first term as President of the United States.
Obama’s inauguration was a star-studded affair, which holds the attendance record for any event in Washington D.C. to date, while Trump is struggling to get even minor celebrities in his corner.
