Well, here we go again with Donald Trump as president in a seemingly impossible feat by the convicted felon who returned to power in front of political cronies, mega-rich fools and kissing attendees at its crazy inauguration where Kim K, Nelly, Elon Musk, Pastor Lorenzo Sewell and many others went viral.
Moments after being sworn in, Trump signed a series of executive orders that, not surprisingly, targeted marginalized groups in the country. yet another reminding us that he is probably not the best person to lead the country.

It doesn’t matter who is in power,” he said in a previous interview with Willie D. “The same way our brothers and sisters go to war to risk their lives for whoever is in power. So if they can risk their lives for whoever is in power, I can certainly perform for whoever is in power.
No stranger to carefully curated controversies, Kim K. was the next big thing after seemingly declaring her allegiance to Trump by sharing a photo of Melania's fashion statement from the inauguration.
If it was attention she wanted, she managed to go viral and immediately get trolled before Elon Musk showed up and stole the show with his questionable arm movement that looked almost exactly like a Nazi salute .
