NEW: Trump’s inauguration is expected to be moved indoors Monday due to dangerously cold temperatures projected in DC. Plans are underway to have Trump be sworn in inside the Capitol Rotunda and the parade potentially be held at the Capital One Arena.

Gone are the optics of the thousands of fans down the National Mall watching him get sworn in.

Somebody call Sean Spicer, who will insist that there were 1.5 million people inside the Capitol Rotunda.

ON EDIT:

Looks like Trump himself may have chickened out, fearing no one would show up.

Even funnier.
