How to watch Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration live online
By Friday afternoon, Donald Trump will officially have been sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. Although the festivities began on Thursday, today is the day that the transition of power from President Obama to President Trump formally takes place, as Trump takes the oath of office.

Boycott or not, the inauguration will take place. Here’s everything you need to know about it.
