Life-threatening cold weather forecast for Washington DC has forced Donald Trump to move his historic second inauguration indoors, dealing a blow to his return to the White House.

Meteorologists predict dangerously cold temperatures, with highs only in the 20s.

Trump posted on Truth Social that the swearing-in ceremony would be moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda.

From there he would also deliver his inaugural speech.

‘This will be a great experience for everyone, and especially for the general TV audience!’ Trump wrote.

To accommodate the MAGA crowds, the Capital One Arena — where Trump will hold his pre-inauguration rally on Sunday — will open for a viewing party.

Trump is preparing for the biggest comeback in political history

Donald Trump will be sworn in as president of the United States for the second time on Monday, marking one of the greatest comebacks in political history.

The 78-year-old will take the oath of office in the heart of Washington DC, with his wife and First Lady Melania Trump at his side, to officially become the nation’s 47th Commander in Chief.

With the eyes of the world on the Capitol, he will regain the keys to the White House after an unprecedented campaign that included two attempts on his life and a historic election victory over Kamala Harris.

Eight years ago, he entered Washington DC as an outsider and was a shock to the system for a city that used to make a career as a politician.

Now he comes with more power and rising popularity, marked by the billionaire tech titans who will stand behind him: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg.
