I sympathize with Trump's plan to move the inauguration indoors.

I know that cold weather sure makes my bone spurs act up.

I can't imagine how bad they would feel on a cold day if I weighed 300 pounds

He rode a horse to and from the Capitol without an overcoat.
He gave the longest speech in inauguration history.
He died of pneumonia that he allegedly caught that day.

Too bad Trump is giving his long speech inside.

Likely truth is, Trump didn't want folks to see how small the crowd was going to be.

Have his MAGA coons crowdsource an instant insurrection on January 20, have them all show up at the US Capitol building around noon. That J-6 insurrection crowd was nothing to sneeze at. If he has an equal sized crowd this coming J-20 it might be bigger than Obamas inauguration crowd.

Insurrection 2.0 would be kinda festive too, especially if they ransacked the building too.

There is no way a crowd of any size is going to stand in the sub-freezing temperatures when they can watch the whole thing from the warmth of their homes.

Plus, they can use the time Felon47 is blabbering about how great he is to fix a sandwich and go to the toilet.

That he states he doesn’t want anyone to suffer from the weather. The only one he is concerned with is him. The post address press release is already written. Biggest indoor inauguration address ever.
