Trump is trying to outshine Joe Biden‘s inauguration.
Donald Trump thinks that he can hold his own big event than brag later about how bigger his crowd was Joe Biden’s inaugural. Trump is desperate and he can’t give up the attention and the spotlight of the presidency. He has demanded to his staff that his departure draws a big crowd to Andrews Air Force Base.
