Just watched the part where he and Melania got out and walked in front of the car for a little while. That made me nervous. I know we don't need to be afraid. In fact we need to show courage and support now more than ever before, but still him walking in the open like that was a bit nerve wracking.

I hope the SS really likes him and does an extra vigilant job when he is exposed. I know they always do but just extra aware of that is possible.

If this man can do half the job he has promised to do it will be an amazing thing.

Every time he gets out it's a big middle finger to the protesters!

For a 71 year old man he has cajones and so does the whole family.

Absolutely LOVE IT!

I am watching a FOX feed now President Trump and family walking on the Street surrounded by Secret Service. The announcer is telling the crowd in the reviewing stands and in Lafayette Park (across from the WH) "He is almost here!.".

A little while ago they a did a split screen showing protestors. There was what sounded like a small explosion follower by a cloud of very black smoke. LE was lining the seats.

He is walking in front of the stands. The crowd is shouting; "Trump!, Trump!, Trump!". His young son looks tired. His wife still looking absolutely beautiful and poised. The Secret Service look like they are on full alert. Their back bones look as straight as a broom handle.

I wonder if those heels Melania is wearing are comfortable for walking? Prayers going up for her feet!

Back in the car! Wonder if they got word about something. Maybe it was Melania and her feet!

The cavalcade just turned at the Old Executive Office building. They will soon be at the WH. Pence and family is out walking. I don't know if they are headed to Blair house, The WH or will duck back in the cavalcade. President Trump's vehicle has a number "1" on the license plate.

The cut to a camera panning from a roof top the crowd is thinning. The cavalcade of black support vehicles is still passing by. There is a loud speaker spouting unintelligible gibberish.

The honor guard is waiting to ceremonially greet the President in front of the WH. There was just a call for "at ease". They don't look at ease to me. There is what looks like a Police Officer on the WH steps swaying back and forth like he really has to "go".

They switched to the roof top cam and scanned the parade groups stretching down Pennsylvania Ave. back to the Capitol Building. Their are bag pipes playing now with a horses contingent behind them. Think Macy's parade without the balloons and floats, but that long.

The swaying helps from locking your knees which will result in passing out from standing at attention for too long...

Ivanka and family just entered the WH to clapping. Pence and family is coming now to more cheering and flourish music. "Present ARMS!" The President and First Lady are next. The crowd is cheering USA, USA, USA!. They are being announced with pomp and circumstance.

It looks like they are in a reviewing stand made of large panels of bullet proof glass. I think they are getting ready to review the troops. The bands being announced are military.

Love listening to Loud Dobbs as he goes through and narrates things that will NEVER BE AGAIN UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION!

President Trump is returning a salute to the members of the Wounded Warriors and other US Military groups, bands and drill teams passing in review. A high school band is playing now. It looks like people are having a good time. You know all those Hollywood stars who refused to come to DC? Its ok you are not needed here. Some of these kids are really good! They are playing their hearts out and President Trump is laughing and clapping right a long with them.

Someone else please take over the updates. I have to help with the livestock.

Did you see Trump and Ivanka crying when the disabled vets come through? Moved me to tears.

Just think, it's good to wave flags again, sing patriotic songs and hymns and enjoy military bands again. Moved to tears again. I feel like I'm in a dream.

Funny that the commentator on Fox mentions that Trump didn't have military service. When asked by his co-commentator about other Presidents who didn't have military service, he mentioned Clinton & Bush .... and neglected to mention O?
