Trump family heads to Washington ahead of Inauguration Day
President-elect Donald Trump and his family boarded a special Air Force plane on Saturday afternoon for their historic return to Washington, D.C. The Trumps, including Melania and their youngest son Barron, waved to crowds before ascending the steps of the plane. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and anticipation as they prepared for their journey from West Palm Beach, Florida, to the U.S. Capitol.
Joining the Trump family on the Air Force Special Air Mission plane were Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner. Trump’s middle son, Eric, and daughter-in-law, Lara, also departed Florida separately on the president-elect’s private plane. Eric Trump took to social media during the plane ride, expressing his renewed hope and spirit for the country. He reflected on the challenges and attacks his family has faced over the years, emphasizing his dedication to fighting for the future of their children.
Upon landing in Sterling, Virginia, the Trump family planned to host an evening reception and fireworks show at Trump National Golf Club. Eric Trump’s immediate family, including his wife, Lara, and their children, Luke and Carolina, joined him on the trip to D.C. Eric Trump shared his pride in his father’s unwavering determination and courage throughout the tumultuous political journey.
The day before the inauguration, Trump is scheduled to attend a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. A “Make America Great Again” rally and a candlelit dinner will follow. The inauguration itself will take place at noon on Monday in the Capitol Rotunda, with Trump delivering his inaugural address as the second president in history to win non-consecutive terms.
Meanwhile, thousands of protesters gathered on the streets of Washington, D.C., for the “People’s March,” which championed various causes such as gender justice, democracy, immigration, and local Washington issues. Demonstrators carried posters with messages advocating for people over politics and standing up against fascism.
As the Trump family prepares for the historic inauguration, the country is brimming with anticipation for the next chapter in American history. The resilience and determination of the Trump family have been on display throughout their journey to the White House, and now, as they embark on this new chapter, the nation looks ahead to what the future holds under the leadership of President-elect Donald Trump.
