The inauguration of Donald Trump is set to take the oath of office at noon outside the domed U.S. Capitol, with U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts presiding.
According to estimates, the ceremony will likely to draw 900,000 people, including various groups of anti-Trump protesters.
Last night, the protesters clashed with police and were pepper-sprayed outside the National Press Club, where supporters of the 45th president celebrated his victory at the “Deploraball.”
On Friday, anti-Trump protesters calling themselves “Black Bloc” already shattered windows of stores and vandalized cars on the streets of Washington DC.
