The Daily Beast reports:
MAGAers are angry after Donald Trump announced his inauguration is to be moved inside, causing many to be left out of the ceremony. Although the president-elect announced that some attendees can go to the Capital One Arena for a viewing party, many were prepared to brave the cold.
“I don’t like it,” Trump fan Ken Robinson told the outlet. “We came all the way from… Oklahoma and now we’re not getting to see it. We might as well have stayed home watching on TV.” Jorge Gonzalez, another supporter who traveled from Florida, said that the news “sucks.”
“We’re prepared for the weather, it’s not a problem,” Gonzalez said. “We have farms,” said Harry Troyer, another Oklahoma resident visiting D.C. “And we don’t get to not feed the cows because it’s cold.”

MAGA in DC being told that Trump just said the inaugur will be inside: “So we’re not gonna see it in person? I don’t like it. We came all the way from OK. We might as well stayed home & watched it on TV. It sucks. We have farms. We don’t get to not feed the cows cause it’s cold.” pic.twitter.com/DRN8dT0lvJ

But Trump claims he’s doing his inauguration inside because he is concerned about the attendees. Right. https://t.co/zDJS5I1AVc

Since the inauguration is moving indoors, here is a suggestion for decorations so the “law and order” guy see what supporters did. Just make it as it was on Jan 6, 2021. pic.twitter.com/yRUer3n1XU

The wind chill at the 2009 inauguration for Barack Obama was about 14°F. He, his wife, and young daughters didn’t run inside the Capitol Rotunda, they just wore coats.

I went to Obama’s 2009 inauguration. The wind chill factor was in the teens & this is who showed up.

D.C. spent $1.5 million to build a heated viewing stand for the inaugural parade that won’t be happening anymore https://t.co/0s6aFD14Wd

The last time this many Trump supporters were in the Capitol Rotunda they brought Confederate flags, zip ties and a noose. https://t.co/k3WShDgWiK

Well the great thing about moving Trump’s inauguration to the rotunda is that all of his supporters already know how to get there pic.twitter.com/yjSPBcUJly

I know many people who are upset they won’t be able to witness American history as our 47th President is sworn in after everything got moved inside the Capitol
They paid thousands of dollars to fly to DC, book hotels, and plan for time away from home
But if it’s any…

I love this for the MAGA morons that made the trip out to DC

A lot of MAGA people who paid big money for tickets are about to find out just how little Trump thinks about them pic.twitter.com/oHaUIzEtAH

In ’61, John F. Kennedy was Inaugurated on the Capitol steps, in windchills of 7 degrees. It was almost as cold for Obama in ’09.
In fairness, Trump IS more than 3 decades older than JFK & Obama were.
Or did he just fear small crowds? pic.twitter.com/3TFJil3HqF— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) January 17, 2025
Trump likely to avoid inaugural crowd size controversy with swearing-in moved indoors https://t.co/1IVqP45cHt
