What a day; what a night!
President Trump’s second inauguration was moving, exciting, touching, optimistic, and action-packed. There were also moments of humor and facial expressions that inspired memes. We round them all up here.
The corporate media, unfortunately, didn’t learn a thing from the last eight years. While people were exuberantly celebrating throughout the nation, they were shaping negative and misleading narratives against Trump and Elon Musk. No, Musk didn’t give a Nazi salute; he told the crowd, “my heart goes out to you.” No, Trump didn’t purposely snub putting his hand on the Bible; Chief Justice John Roberts started the oath before Melania could get it to her husband. These days, media myths, distortions and lies are quickly corrected in Musk’s free speech zone.

Here are 17 highlights and top moments from Trump’s inauguration Day, in no particular order.
1. President Trump Dances With Sword to YMCA
— Wisconsin Right Now (@wisconsin_now) January 21, 2025
There will never be another Donald Trump. There just won’t. Enjoy it.
2. Lights, Camera, ACTION
President Trump just signed a huge executive order to withdraw from the World Health Org.

President Trump is a man of action, and act he did. With lightning speed. Here’s a list of his executive orders.
BREAKING: President Trump has fired the acting head of the U.S. immigration court system and three other key leaders, immediately after taking office.
This one is big.

He also started firing people.
3. Carrie Underwood Performs ‘America the Beautiful’ A Capella
You didn't need the music #carrieunderwood#Inauguration2025#yougotthis pic.twitter.com/ExwYUNq4bQ
— JulissaDesigns (@Julissasdesigns) January 20, 2025
When the music failed (the poor audio guy had JUST ONE JOB), Carrie Underwood showed the pro that she is and sang without it. The crowd joined in.
4. Zuckerberg Looking at Boobs

Boobs are back. In fairness to him, Lauren Sanchez’s inappropriate outfit made them hard to miss.

The memes and jokes…

The award for second most inappropriately dressed goes to John Fetterman, but he’s become far more rational lately, so we forgive him for showing up in shorts and a Carhartt hoodie to the presidential inauguration.
5. The Golden Age
President Trump: "The golden age of America begins RIGHT NOW." pic.twitter.com/2nN42e6snM
— George (@BehizyTweets) January 20, 2025
It was the memorable line.
6. The First Couple
🔥WOW! Trump and Melania's Inaugural Ball First Dance as President and First Lady.
pic.twitter.com/Yxq4F7D4kA— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) January 21, 2025
They looked so loving and close, the inaugural balls felt like we were all at a wedding! The First Lady stunned.
Glamour is back.
7. The J-6 Pardons
🚨 #BREAKING: Several J6ers are being released from DC jail imminently
Supporters have been outside in the cold ALL DAY supporting them

Trump acted with lightning speed.
8. The Way J.D. Vance’s Wife Looks at Him
JD Vance has a beautiful family.. ❤️🥹
Y'all see how his wife looks at him? pic.twitter.com/h9bYldoLuH
— Brotha K (@KessenaO) January 20, 2025
Get someone who looks at you the way Vice President J.D. Vance’s wife looks at him.
Call me a romantic, but that’s a look of love and support right there. Wish everyone could have that. pic.twitter.com/5IludZY0gd
— NOLA Nobody (@nola_nobody) January 20, 2025
The kids were adorable too.
9. Barron Trump

— FLOTUS Report (@MELANIAJTRUMP) January 21, 2025
We all have a sentimental feeling about Barron Trump because we remember when the First Son was small.
Barron Trump just shook hands with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
This kid will be our President one day.
Bet on it. pic.twitter.com/wzT10qf7F0
— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) January 20, 2025
Now he’s astonishing tall (6 foot 9 inches), and quite the dignified and classy young man. The new JFK Jr. We can’t wait to see more of Barron.
10. Harris & Biden Having to Sit Stone-Faced Through It All
For those keeping score at home, Kamala Harris doesn't know the words to America the Beautiful or the Pledge of Allegiance. pic.twitter.com/Mwcryf6Ls0
— Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) January 20, 2025
Watching Kamala Harris and Joe Biden having to sit through it all was entertaining. Schadenfreude. Added plus, Harris is back in California now.
Apparently, she doesn’t know the words to “America the Beautiful,” either.
Biden, of course, preemptively pardoned his family on the way out the door.
11. Trump Shuts Down Biden’s Pro-Abortion Website & Immigration Parole App
BREAKING:

BREAKING: It’s official. The Trump administration has canceled the CBP One cell phone app parole program used by Biden to allow more than 900,000 migrants to enter the US.

“People are standing in line at the Trump inaugural ball to get their picture taken beside his mugshot and beside his picture working the McDonald’s window.”
13. The Laken Riley Act Passed the U.S. Senate
The Senate just passed the Laken Riley Act. This critical legislation will strengthen public safety and protect our communities. I’m looking forward to President Trump signing this life-saving legislation. pic.twitter.com/OQG5O4pio5
— Senator Katie Boyd Britt (@SenKatieBritt) January 20, 2025
Of course, Tammy Baldwin voted against it. Her true colors are showing again now that the election is over.
14. The Facial Expressions of George W. Bush & Bill Clinton
When you realize the 9/11 documents might actually be released, pic.twitter.com/EkrcwGcfW2
— Luke Rudkowski (@Lukewearechange) January 20, 2025
bill clinton’s mouth has been like this for 2 straight minutes. pic.twitter.com/3vo2AVVd9v
— sierra catalina (@sierracatalina1) January 20, 2025
They looked like antsy middle school boys being forced to sit through a school Assembly.
Maybe his mouth was hanging open because Hillary didn’t get a preemptive pardon.
The memes….
Bill Clinton did the meme pic.twitter.com/0mXMPNoiqU

Musk’s facial expressions get honorable mention.

15. The Military Members Serving in South Korea
Our military in South Korea are visiting with Trump on the big screen at his inauguration ball.
That’s strength. They would never do that for Biden.
We are respected again. pic.twitter.com/JoAslTfMM7

16. Obama’s Solitary Walk
Obama arrives WITHOUT Michelle. pic.twitter.com/LIV3d1Ugog
— johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) January 20, 2025
No Michelle Obama, but, surprisingly perhaps, Mike Pence was there.
17. We’re Going to Mars
Elon is cheering Donald Trump’s Mars mission announcement.
Meanwhile, Barron Trump is already calculating the precise calculations based on orbital mechanics to ensure a successful landing.
