Inside the intimate inauguration: Close-up encounters between political rivals, some awkward
Associated PressWASHINGTON — A president’s inaugural address is typically a choreographed spectacle. Forced inside to the Capitol Rotunda by frigid temperatures, Donald Trump was sworn in for a second term as president in an intimate setting for a man who has always favored the largest one possible. “Stand or sit quietly with your hands crossed or at your sides,” it said, “to respect ceremonial protocols that may or may not represent your associations or beliefs.” ___ IN EMANCIPATION HALL With such tight confines, the spacious Capitol Visitor Center’s Emancipation Hall was the next best place to be. Bye bye.” The new president added, “I gave you the A-plus treatment.” ___ THE INAUGURAL LUNCH At the inaugural luncheon head table, Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, as chair of the congressional inaugural committee, engaged Trump in an animated conversation for most of the meal. Among those at another table: Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi and Donald Trump Jr.
