Online-Event for the Inauguration of Donald Trump - Watching, Commentary, Questions

On January 20, 2025, at 12:00 PM local time, the Swearing-In Ceremony for the 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, will take place, followed by his Inauguration Address.

Presidents often use these speeches to set the tone for their term in office. Eight years ago, Donald Trump declared that the era of "American Carnage" was over. What will his focus be this time? What initial vision of his domestic and international policies can we expect? Will Elon Musk contribute a speech of his own? And how many viewers will there be this time?

To accompany the inauguration, the Department of American Studies is hosting an online event.

Start: January 20, 2025, 5:30 PM (CET)

• Joint viewing of the inauguration on CNN with commentary by Senior Lecturer for American Studies, PD Dr. René Dietrich and Lecturer in Engish and American Cultural Studies Bobbi Reimann
• Approx. 6:30 PM: Brief analysis of the Inauguration Address by René Dietrich und Bobbi Reimann
• Followed by: Audience Q&A session
• Approx. 7:00 PM: End of the event

Following the events held before and after the election in November, we look forward to welcoming you once again via Zoom for a discussion on the beginning of Donald Trump’s second term and the many questions it raises.
