On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States during an indoor ceremony at the Capitol Rotunda, a change from the traditional outdoor setting due to anticipated cold weather.
The inauguration featured performances by Carrie Underwood, who sang “America the Beautiful,” accompanied by the Armed Forces Chorus and the U.S. Naval Academy Glee Club. The event was attended by former presidents, including Barack Obama, though Michelle Obama was notably absent.
The term “Black Monday” historically refers to the stock market crash on October 19, 1987, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 22.6%, marking the largest single-day percentage drop in U.S. stock market history. As of now, there have been no reports of significant stock market declines or other tragic events associated with President Trump’s inauguration.
