According to NBC News, the inauguration of Mr. Trump's first term sparked street riots in Washington and protests by millions around the world, including what is estimated to be the largest single-day protest in American history. This year, thousands of people are expected to attend commemorations and demonstrations against Mr. Trump ahead of his second-term inauguration, which falls on Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, but the numbers are expected to be far fewer than eight years ago, with even celebrities likely to be on the sidelines, as businesses that have previously formed "uneasy alliances" with protesters have donated to Mr. Trump's inaugural committee and sent CEOs to the inauguration. The number of Democrats who missed Trump's inauguration was down from 60 last time, and they did not call the absence a boycott, but for other unrelated reasons. For example, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she had just had surgery and needed to recover. (Kim Ten)
