M. , president obama greets donald trump at the white house where theyll have tea with mrs. Obama as well as Melania Trump and then the president and trump will share a 15minute limo ride roughly three miles down to the Capitol Building. Ah, to be a fly on the wall. That is where just before noon donald trump will be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. The white house is undergoing its transition already. This photo snapped and quite telling. These empty picture frames that until this week were filled with images from Barack Obamas two terms in office. Former president jimmy carter was spotted on Delta Air Lines on a flight in coach by the way where he was caught on camera shaking hands with passengers while heading to the inauguration. And former president ial candidate Hillary Clinton will be back in the political spotlight today as a former first lady she will be at the inauguration sitting roughly about five yards from former rival donald trump when he takes that oath. The president elect kept a packed schedule on the eve of the inauguration making one stop after another. Kind of a buildup till today which will have plenty of stops joined by Vice President elect mike pence for a solemn ceremony at Arlington National cemetery placing a wreath at the tomb of the unknowns. Later on you can see him singing upbeat with toby keith and Lee Greenwood at a make America Great again concert on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Hes really gotten into it. Abcs lana zak joins us from capitol hill, the site of todays main event. Good morning, lana. Reporter good morning, kendis and erielle. In less than six hours, donald j. Trump will stand on that podium behind me and promise to preserve, protect and deferred the constitution of the United States. With those sacred words he will become the leader of the free world. One chapter of history closes today as a new one opens to the donald trump era. A lot of people didnt give us much of a chance, but we understood what was happening. Reporter mr. Trump will be the first to ascend to the presidency without having ever served in Public Office or in the military before. Last night with the Lincoln Memorial as his backdrop he thanked those who fueled his outsider campaign. Youre going to be cheering me on but ill be cheering you on because what weve done is so special. All over the world theyre talking about it. Reporter it is an emotional time. This is a bittersweet moment for us for all that is before us i have to tell you, words cannot describe the honor and the gratitude we feel. Reporter but we are a divided nation. Amid the celebration hallelujah reporter protests. From washington. I need to be here and fight against that rhetoric and fight against that mindset. Reporter and across the country. Im not depressed i im not sad. Im angry and there are other people that feel the same way. Reporter celebrities joined with protesters. This is us celebrating our values as americans, as being inclusive, being diverse. Reporter as conservative and liberal americans say separate prayers for the future of the United States and, kendis and erielle, you mentioned that ride, that president obama and president elect trump will take together on the road behind me from the white house to the capitol. That tradition is nearly 200 years old. What a powerful show of solidarity and an honor, a tip of the hat to american democracy. And that car ride will pass by the new trump hotel. I could imagine hell point out some things there to them to the president. Lana, thank you. After criticizing the Intelligence Community for months donald trump is planning to visit the cia headquarters in virginia tomorrow. Yeah, the Incoming White House press secretary says trump wants the staff to know how much he appreciates their service. But one source says trump was also hoping to swear in his new cia director. Thats if hes confirmed beforehand. Trump will likely get two cabinet members confirmed on his first day in office, later today lawmakers are expected to confirm general james mattis for defense secretary and general john kelly for Homeland Security secretary. And this was interesting. One ambassadorship of note. Woody johnson, the billionaire owner of the new york jets will be named u. S. Ambassador to the united king doom. During the primaries he was the finance chairman for jeb bushs campaign but later endorsed trump and raised money for him as well. Foreign leaders from london to moscow to just about everywhere else are waiting to see what Donald Trumps administration will look like. You may recall many World Leaders were lukewarm to the idea of a Trump Presidency. Just imagine what theyre saying today about all of this. Abcs Alex Marquardt is getting a sense of that mood from london. Good morning. Reporter good morning, kendis, good morning, erielle. You heard trump right there saying all over the world theyre talking about it, indeed, they are. Trump on front pages of newspapers around the world including here in the uk. This is the daily mirror one of the big tabloid, measured front page for this tab employed. It says the 45th president of the u. S. , now the world holds its breath and thats a pretty accurate summation of how the world is feeling this morning. There is nervousness, fear, anger, trepidation. Remember that if the world had had a vote in this election, Hillary Clinton would have won overwhelmingly. Of course, they dont. This is a man who campaigned on and has promised to govern on upending the international order, whether it has to do with nato or trade deals or the Climate Change pact or the deal with iran, how to fight the war in syria, building that wall on the Mexican Border so there are a lot of questions of how he will govern on the international stage. We will see protests in various cities around the world. Just a short time ago a banner was unfurled at the iconic London Bridge here in the capital of the uk. It says act now, build bridges, not walls. So, yes, today the world is holding its breath. It looks as if theyve put out the welcome signs for mr. Trump there in london. So one exception to that rule, though, is russia. You just got back from moscow. Whats the mood there when it comes to the Trump Presidency . Reporter well, thats right. Russia perhaps more than any other country wanted a Trump Victory. In speaking to people on the street they say that trump will be able to bring the two countries closer together. Of course, theyre very damaged ties after eight years of an obama administration. They also point to his business acumen. Of course, we know that the kremlin was in favor of a Trump Victory less because they support candidate trump but because they support unrest and fermenting division in the u. S. Russia was accused of meddling in the election with that hacking but there is also nervousness inside those big kremlin walls. They see him as inexperienced, as untested, as unpredictable, so president putin and the kremlin, they too are jittery. Kendis, erielle. At least the leaders of two countries looking forward to this day, russia and israel. Alex marquardt, no doubt, joining us from london. There is rain in the forecast for washington, d. C. On this Inauguration Day. But in a moment of levity last night donald trump basically said hes not too concerned about it. He had one very specific reason in mind, take a listen. If it really pour, thats okay, because people will realize its my real hair and thats okay. Its okay. Might be a mess.

Abc news political director rick klein has more on what trump is immediately facing as he tries to make good on his signature promises. Kendis and erielle, getting inaugurated is easy, its governing that is difficult and the first 100 days for donald trump are littered with potential land mines. He is going to start with his campaign promises. Obamacare and work on the border wall feeds right into his second big priority which is that he has to watch his right. He needs to start delivering on the conservative promises early. He needs to start reining in the budget. He needs to deliver on a Supreme Court nominee that the right gets behind. That is how he solidifies his base then the intriguing part. Watch his left. President trump will try to reach out to democrats and pick them off for other priorities including a giant infrastructure package and enrage some in his own party when he does it but thats part of the scrambled coalitions hes going to seek to achieve. He will have to walk a tightrope throughout that first 100 days. Kendis and erielle. Thanks, rick. Soontobe first daughter ivanka trump will have a front row seat to her fathers presidency.
