“There was no grand goodbye,” Mosteller said, after they landed and departed. “It was like going on a great vacation and then getting in the car ride back from the airport,” the aide recalled. “It was sobering and quiet and we knew it was just never going to be the same.” — PolitiTweet.org

Four years ago, the Obamas flew out of DC after inauguration. It was, apparently, a real scare because of turbulence. “A couple of people were freaking out a bit.” Obama came to the cabin to calm people down and they had to divert landing https://t.co/K5LWYj8Hnu — PolitiTweet.org

Elton John had tentatively committed to performing at the inauguration, an aide said. But after financier Anthony Scaramucci, then a vocal Trump fan, inadvertently leaked it too early, he had pulled out. https://t.co/K5LWYj8Hnu — PolitiTweet.org

For Team Trump, the issues that day were different. Marla Maples and Ivana Trump both asked to attend the inauguration. So Trump gave “clear instructions” to put them on opposite sides of the platform. “They had to be in the same row and same chair in case one saw the other." — PolitiTweet.org

At the ’09 inaugural, Obama paused and closed his eyes before heading out. “It was clear to me that he was saying a prayer," said Souza In ’17, there was no attempt to summon the divinities. “I don’t remember him closing his eyes,” Souza said. “Maybe he should have.” — PolitiTweet.org

On inauguration day '17, Obama briefed Trump on a natl security matter. “Trump,” Mosteller recalled, “says, ‘Well what would *you* do in this situation?’” Mosteller exchanged a glance with Pete Souza. “We had this realization that this was really bad” https://t.co/K5LWYj8Hnu — PolitiTweet.org
