Trump did not smile for his inaugural portrait. Rather, he delivered a look reminiscent of his mugshot — stern, serious, and ready to get to work.

Trump’s inauguration will take place in less than a week — Monday, January 20, at noon. There will be festivities throughout the day, and according to Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Michael Whatley, first responders from the first assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, will be leading the Inaugural Parade, which will include Trump’s infamous garbage truck.
The Village People are also expected to perform, so Americans can expect to see more of Trump’s iconic dance moves.
