It is the end of the road for the United States President, Donald Trump, who fought unsuccessfully to remain in office by approaching court to upturn his defeat by Joe Biden, who will be inaugurated today.

Although he had consistently insisted the election was flawed and stolen from him, it appeared the odds were simply against him. As a result, he reluctantly surrendered power but refused to concede, including participating in today’s inauguration.

Following the violence that trailed Biden’s validation sitting at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 25,000 National Guard troops are now in Washington DC for the inauguration of Biden as the next President of the United States.

Security was intensified after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), alerted other law enforcement agencies that QAnon (a far-right conspiracy theory) adherents discussed acting as National Guard soldiers in Washington to try and infiltrate President-elect, Joe Biden’s inauguration.

The FBI, in an intelligence report it said was obtained by Washington Post, revealed that some persons downloaded maps of sensitive areas around Washington and talked about how those locations could be utilised to penetrate security.

The intelligence report warned that QAnon members and “lone wolves” indicated they planned to travel to Washington for Biden’s swearing-in ceremony today”, the Post said.
Sources have also noted that while departing the White House as President and first lady, Donald Trump and Melania Trump would not invite their incoming counterparts, Joe and Jill Biden, inside before they go.

Instead of a president and first lady, the White House chief usher, Timothy Harleth, according to a source familiar with the day’s events and planning, will greet the Bidens. Harleth, a 2017 Trump hire from the Trump International Hotel in Washington, will likely not stay on in the Biden administration, the source said, noting the role of chief usher in all probability will be filled by someone more familiar with the incoming President and first lady.

In the afternoon today, President Biden will participate in a ceremonial wreath-aying at Arlington National Cemetery, joined by former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. It is during these hours the bulk of the Bidens’ personal effects will be moved into the White House and unpacked, according to another source with knowledge of executive residence practices.


Meanwhile, Biden plans to sign dozens of executive orders and send wide-ranging bills to Congress in his first days in office, aiming to roll back some of Donald Trump’s signature policies on immigration and climate change, while taking action to ramp up the government’s response to the coronavirus crisis.

According to a recent memo by his incoming Chief of Staff, Ron Klain, interviews with several of Biden’s advisers and a review of campaign promises, Biden would seek a $1.9 trillion spending proposal aimed at accelerating the distribution of coronavirus vaccines, while providing economic relief to millions of Americans hurt by the pandemic.

He will also impose a mask-wearing requirement on all federal property, planes and buses, extend relief on federal student loan payments and extend an eviction moratorium.
Biden will as well sign an executive order that will help schools and businesses reopen safely, expand coronavirus testing and establish clearer public health standards.

End of a dramatic era...

Congratulations Biden, wish you all the very best. We republicans will hold you and kamala responsible for anything that goes wrong in America.
