Trump praise
“Nazi Musk”, kissing mishap and Zuckerberg as a peeping Tom
Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the USA on Monday - and immediately caused quite a political stir. Apart from that, a few scenes caused quite a stir online - a short list.
25,000 police officers on duty, around 200,000 Trump fans in front of the Capitol in Washington who didn't want to miss the inauguration despite the icy cold. An incendiary speech by the new Republican president, who settled accounts with his Democratic predecessor Joe Biden.
Nevertheless, in the wide world of social media, alongside planned mass deportations and a de facto end to climate policy, a few scenes caused a particular stir.
First there was the "air kiss". Trump's wife Melania came buttoned up in a dark outfit with a circular hat - which reminded some observers of Michael Jackson or even the "Undertaker" from the wrestling world. The brim of the hat was wide, which is why Trump couldn't quite get close to his wife. Which didn't seem to bother Melania much either ...
Melania wore the hat as a "barrier against Trump's lips", as one X user razor-sharp combined:
Next in the online spotlight was former President George W. Bush, who looked like he had stomach problems in a web video:
Meanwhile, meta boss Mark Zuckerberg got big eyes. He seemed quite fascinated by Lauren Sánchez's(wife of Amazon boss Jeff Bezos) cleavage. The gentleman in the background also risked a closer look:
Once in the Oval Office, Trump looked in the drawer of the president's desk on the tip-off from journalists - and found the traditional letter from his predecessor Biden on camera. The envelope was addressed to "47". Trump is the 47th US President.
For a moment, Trump seemed to consider opening the letter in the livestream and reading it aloud - but then decided against it. He wanted to read it alone first, he said.
However, the buck ultimately stopped with Trump disciple and Tesla billionaire Elon Musk. In his tribute speech, he waved his arms around so wildly that he came up with a gesture that reminded many of the Hitler salute - and thus became the final opponent of all the excitement.
Musk first slapped his chest with his right hand and then stretched his arm diagonally upwards. Scenes for internet eternity.
The inauguration of a US president is a major event that attracts international attention - especially when it heralds a real turning point in world politics. You can find all the relevant information here in the post-event review.
