Donald Trump will be sworn into office today, as he will become the 45th President of the United States.
After protests at Trump Tower yesterday, many still can’t quite believe that the businessman will actually take his place in the White House.
Trump will be sworn in before midday local time (17:00 GMT) by Chief Justice John Roberts, and make his inaugural speech. The ceremony will be attended by former presidents and first ladies, including Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary, Trump’s opponent in the recent election.
As an estimated 900,000 people descend on Washington, including both supporters and protesters, we’ve listed the funniest tweets about the 70-year-old’s inauguration.

Sorry, Mr. Trump will be late to #InaugurationDay, he has some revenge tweeting he needs to finish before being sworn in.
