The anticipation of President Trump's inauguration has driven the highest hopers and the biggest haters off the deep end.

That doesn't happen for insignificant events, particularly if they involve Joe Biden.

So here we are with President Trump's inaugural plans, according to the New York Post:

President-elect Donald Trump started his official return to Washington Saturday afternoon to prepare for his historic inauguration.

The Republican, along with wife Melania and youngest son Barron, waved to a crowd of supporters as he boarded a US military airplane supplied by President Biden in West Palm Beach, Fla.

His daughter Ivanka, 43, and her husband Jared Kushner, 44, were spotted boarding that aircraft Saturday afternoon.

Trump’s arrival marks the start of a weekend of preparations for his Monday inauguration, which is set to take place in the Capitol Rotunda for the first time in 40 years due to extreme cold weather conditions.

No detail is too small in the report, such is the public interest.

What's gotten people rattled though, is that they made the common-sense decision to move the event inside the Capitol rotunda, owing to the icy cold weather out in Washington:

Which is sad for all the attendees, many of whom spent thousands of dollars to come to Washington for the big event, lots of them little guys.

Preparations, after all, had been made:

But cold is genuninely risky, and more people die of cold than heat. You don't want out-of-town families with little kids out in that kind of weather, sitting and freezing, especially if they aren't used to it and don't have proper cold weather gear.

Instead of recognizing that it's cold out -- and maybe citing history of cold inaugurations that didn't end well -- ask William Henry Harrison -- Democrat operatives immediately decided it was because Trump feared the crowds would be too small.

I guess Jerry Nadler's abundant absence would have left a hole in the crowd, right, Dave?

It's ridiculous. Why would the Post be reporting the details of the inaugural in such detail -- who's coming, where Trump is staying, what his pre-event plans are -- if there was low public interest in the matter? Oh, and, Trump has a history of drawing crowds, particularly when he is winning.

They also brought up the crowd-control incident on Jan. 6, 2021, and howled at the outrage of Trump walking back into that sacred institution. File under 'barf alert.'

On the right, there is concern that security would be inadequate, which, given the history of Trump's security and the history of all the fringe leftists who's made strikes against Trump, the last one less than three weeks ago in Las Vegas, is a valid concern, but it doesn't entirely cancel out the weather concerns.

When the decision was made to move the event inside, the jockeying among the Washington denizens was so intense to get a seat inside that the Trump team made this announcement:

Paranoia for some runs deep:

Susan Crabtree at RealClearPolitics credibly tied the matter together with her sources, showing that weather, combined with history and security concerns do coincide:

It makes sense. Now there's talk that the event will be moved to the White House.

Like a lot of us, that's fine, so long as it's done. We just want Trump safely in office. Let's pray for his safety and the well-being of those who in good faith came to see the inaugural of the century. It wouldn't be such a story if Trump's return weren't so intensely wanted by so many people.
