Trump’s Official Inauguration Portrait Unveiled

President-elect Donald Trump’s official inauguration portrait has been released, sparking excitement among many who have labeled it the most “badass” inauguration photo ever.

This striking image is just one element of what promises to be a memorable inauguration ceremony, featuring high-profile stars and top CEOs.

Bo Loudon, a close friend of Barron Trump, shared the portrait on his social media, describing it as the “most badass photo ever.”

A Star-Studded Celebration

“We already know that Carrie Underwood and Lee Greenwood are set to sing at Donald Trump’s inauguration, but they’re not the only country stars who’ll be front and center at the festivities,” CT40 reported.

“Greenwood will also perform at The Make America Great Again Victory Rally, along with Billy Ray Cyrus, Kid Rock, and The Village People. The singers famous for ‘YMCA’ are also on tap for The Liberty Ball, along with Jason Aldean and another surprise guest,” the outlet added.

The Commander-in-Chief Ball is also slated to feature country music talents like Parker McCollum and Rascal Flatts.

Tech Titans Join the Event

In addition to the musical lineup, reports indicate that tech moguls Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai of Alphabet (Google’s parent company), and Apple CEO Tim Cook will also attend the inauguration.

Controversy Over Carrie Underwood’s Performance

Carrie Underwood’s decision to perform at the event drew criticism from Joy Behar, co-host of The View. However, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a former co-host, fiercely defended Underwood, addressing Behar’s accusations head-on.

Underwood, in an interview with The Daily Beast, explained her choice to perform: “I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event. I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

Behar, however, voiced her disapproval, claiming, “How do you love your country and support and normalize somebody who was a convicted felon who really wants to destroy the country, in my opinion?”

Hasselbeck hit back on X, stating, “[Joy Behar] needs to simmer down off my friend,” and later appeared on Fox News to further elaborate.

“She wants us to believe that Carrie Underwood, who won American Idol by American votes, and has spent significant time supporting our military and veterans through USO tours, somehow doesn’t love this country?” Hasselbeck questioned. “It’s ridiculous.”

Whoopi Goldberg Weighs In

In a surprising twist, actress and comedian Whoopi Goldberg supported Underwood, breaking ranks with her fellow liberal co-host.

“I stand behind her,” Goldberg said. “If I believe I have the right to make up my mind to go perform someplace, I believe they have the same right. So I have to support (her). It doesn’t mean I’m particularly interested in watching. I won’t be watching. But that’s me.”

The inauguration is shaping up to be a cultural and political spectacle, blending music, business, and national pride in one historic event.
