An image emerged on social media which showed that the big names were sitting next to each other as Donald Trump took his oath to become the 47th President of the United States of America.

Donald Trump made his White House comeback on Monday, January 20, returning as the 47th President of the United States. He took his oath indoors at the Capitol Rotunda due to an Arctic blast that made the temperatures cold in the US capital.
Donald Trump's oath of office was administered by Chief Justice John Roberts using both a family Bible and President Abraham Lincoln’s Bible, Mint reported earlier.
Former President Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton also attended the ceremony on Monday. Apart from the former presidents, Gen. CQ Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, former Republican leaders Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, John Boehner, and Newt Gingrich were also present for the speech.
Trump began the day with a prayer service at St. John’s Episcopal Church and a tea reception at the White House which was hosted by outgoing President Joe Biden. Trump greeted many attendees, including his wife, Melania Trump, after entering the room of the Capitol Rotunda.
“It has been the honor of our lifetimes to serve you, the American people,” said Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on the social media platform X ahead of the start of the ceremony.
