Donald Trump, set to be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on Monday, has unveiled his official portrait.
The photo, featuring the 78-year-old with a steely gaze and a slight squint, has drawn comparisons online to his August 2023 mugshot from Fulton County Jail, taken after election fraud charges.
Social Media Reacts
Social media users quickly noted the resemblance, with some jokingly dubbing the portrait “FOTUS – Felon of the United States.”
Others compared it to a horror movie poster, with one user quipping, “Looks like Lucifer with a combover.” While many mocked the image, Trump’s supporters defended it, with one fan declaring, “It looks badass.”
Inauguration Day Details
Trump will be sworn in on Monday at the US Capitol, with the ceremony set for 12 PM EST. He plans to deliver a speech he describes as uplifting and unifying, in contrast to his controversial 2017 “American Carnage” address.
The event will include a service at St. John’s Church, tea at the White House, and a farewell ceremony for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Star-Studded Celebration
Trump’s second inauguration will feature performances from Carrie Underwood and the Village People, with their hit “YMCA” set to energize the crowd. Trump has also invited foreign leaders and tech moguls, including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, marking a departure from traditional US-UK ally priorities.
The event is shaping up to be a dramatic and unique start to Trump’s second term, combining political spectacle with celebrity flair.
