Trump Inauguration Day: Scenes from Long Island, NYC and Washington
Newsday looks at how the day played out from the perspective of supporters and opponents.
President DonaldĀ Trump's return to the White House was celebrated by supporters in Washington, D.C., New York City and Long IslandĀ asĀ "the dawning of a new day," whileĀ protestsĀ sprouted up as his second term began on Monday.
Revelers in red hats seeking shelter from the bitter coldĀ gathered around televisions and cellphones in restaurants and coffee shops to watch theĀ 47th president take the oath of office in a midday ceremony.
The impact of the transfer of presidential powers to Trump from Democrat Joe Biden was felt around the Capital One Arena and along Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.;Ā inside Trump TowerĀ in Manhattan, where the president rode down the golden escalator to announce his first run for the White House; andĀ in Nassau and Suffolk counties, with viewing parties including one at the America First Warehouse in Ronkonkoma.
"A lot of us feel itās a new day, weāve been heard, and our guy's back," said Patrick Reilly, 55, a telecomĀ executive from Massapequa Park who now lives in Rochester who watched at the bar inside the Capital Grille in D.C., where New Yorkās GOP hosted a viewing party.
Reilly said he hoped Trump would act fast on campaign promises on "the border, taxes, crime."
Nearby, Joe Armao, 46, a lawyer from Howard Beach, Queens, described Monday's inauguration as "the dawning of a new day."
With the weather bringing the inauguration festivities indoors ā eliminating the traditional parade in front of the White House ā many who had traveled to the nation's capital to participate in the historic event wound up in impromptu gatherings outside of the arena or listening to Trump's inauguration speech over their cellphones along Pennsylvania Avenue.
John DiCarlo, 67, of Ohio, had tickets to the Inauguration Day viewing party inside the Capital One Arena, but the line was too long to get inside.
"It is kind of nice being around everything and everybody anyway," he said.
"We could have a little more unity in the country," DiCarlo said,Ā adding that he was looking for a message of "hope" and unity from the incoming president. "Thereās too much hatred, thereās too much separation ... thatās a tall task, but who knows."
In midtown Manhattan, the lobby at Trump Tower opened at 10 a.m. to a few curious onlookers and to the attendees of a private party.
Nearly a decade ago, Trump, then a real estate and business mogul, descendedĀ by escalator to announce his bid in the 2016 election.
The lobby was decorated on Monday with red, white and blue balloons. AĀ party marked its festivities with gold balloons that read "USA 47."
Hannah Pritchard, 35, and her daughter Vera, 11, visiting New York from Nashville for the long weekend, wandered inside.
"Itās a very special day to be here on a big day in history," Hannah Pritchard said. "We wanted to see whatās happening. It feels really cool and peaceful and calm."
Hundreds of protesters rallied in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village Monday afternoon, before marching.
Kathleen Sullivan, 57, of Brooklyn, brought back her "RESIST" pin she had retired in 2020, and she said sheās even more worried about Trumpās second term than she was for his first.
"Trump has been given immunity from the Supreme Court. So, he's coming in with a lot more testosterone and a lot more power, so it's a scary time," Sullivan said.
On Long Island, where Trump saw major support in central Suffolk and is the first Republican president to win Nassau in 30 years, watch parties had been planned for weeks.
Trump supporters at the America First Warehouse in Ronkonkoma said they purchased tickets for the watch party back in November.
Wearing red and blue head-to-toe down to her cowboy hat, Ginny Maurici stood in line and said: "Heās going to be the best president that America ever had."
At the Hicksville LIRR station, Andrew Benson, 24, of Valley Stream said Trump "has emboldened a lot of people, made people feel like itās OK to be discriminatory." On his walk to theĀ station on Monday afternoon, Benson, who is Black, said a woman honked at him from her car, waving her American flag out the window.
"They donāt understand society beyond the suburbs," he said. "They donāt think about solutions beyond getting rid of people."
Winnie Lee, 43, owner of Lee's Korean Kitchen in Port Washington, said sheās felt the squeeze of rising food costs butĀ doesnāt believe a Trump presidency will make a difference.
"Iām not against him, but Iām not sitting here thinking heās going to turn everything around ... You see the world as it is right now ... You can't expect a miracle," she said.
In Commack, at a Martin Luther King Day event, Long Island Cares chief executive officer Paule Pachter said he was "optimistic" Trump would help realize Kingās dream.
Trump, in his inauguration speech, thanked Black and Hispanic voters and noted the holiday honoring the civil rights leader.
"Calling upon the nationĀ to remember the teachings and remember the work of Martin Luther King is important," Pachter said. "Itās a challenge to the Congress; itās a challenge to the president. Our hope is that we move forward in a unified way in which those who need benefit just as much as those that have."
