Donald Trump's First Inauguration on January 20, 2017, and the 'Women's March on Washington'

Washington– Donald Trump's first inauguration took place on January 20, 2017. Prior to the event, protests erupted across Washington D.C., with demonstrators causing significant disruption. They shattered glass storefronts and set cars ablaze. In response, police arrested more than 200 individuals amid the ongoing demonstrations, which spanned several days.

Despite the chaos, Trump's swearing-in ceremony at Capitol Hill and the subsequent parade to the White House concluded without any incidents.

The day after Trump was inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States, the "Women's March on Washington" drew hundreds of thousands of people from across the country to the nation's capital.

Most of the protesters were women who participated in largely peaceful demonstrations. Their march stretched from the National Mall to the streets, coinciding with the newly inaugurated President's attendance at a National Prayer Service after his first night in the White House.

The protest saw the participation of several celebrities, including America Ferrera, Madonna, Ashley Judd, Cher, Katy Perry, Amy Schumer, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, Michael Moore, Debra Messing, and Patricia Arquette.

During the protest, Madonna remarked that she had "thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House."

In contrast, Trump, in his inaugural address, called for the elimination of national divisions and the establishment of a "new national pride," urging unity among all Americans.
