DC Residents Flee Trump Inauguration: Fear and Frustration Amidst Celebrations
Alejandra Whitney-Smith, a DC resident and attorney, will spend Trump’s inauguration weekend in a cabin to avoid the “hostile negative energy” associated with the event, particularly given her mother’s experience during the January 6th Capitol attack. Many other residents share similar sentiments, opting for getaways due to concerns about Trump’s second term and his divisive rhetoric. Conversely, Trump’s inauguration is generating significant interest among his supporters, with high hotel demand reflecting their enthusiasm. This stark contrast highlights the deeply divided political climate in the US.
